wrote script no. 1 of my commercial demo reel (a fictitious company called Caloa) #stolenvoice

got an overview of the postproduction process (bit of a repition like - EQ - Compression - Normalisation - De-Essing - Limiting - Insert Effects - Send & Return Effects but that's ok); started the advanced voiceover course to get from my intermediate level to a pro level which included today: to warm up nicely and full-body, going to extremes (ultra low pitch, ultra high pitch, mixture of both and going over the top with a caricature performance) - my voice felt like the strings of a guitar today when I practiced #stolenvoice

learned how caricature/animation/kids demo reels are made and what role an accent does play #stolenvoice

another iteration for the recording of script 1/7 of my commercial demo reel, awaiting the feedback on the artistic performance level and the technical audio quality - making little progress while having fun in the studio imitating monkey because heck the script is about jungle and rainforest *haha* #stolenvoice

continued voiceover course (cabling, audio interfaces, hardware, recordings software) #stolenvoice

practiced first script of my commercial demo reel but eventually stopped. Due to my pollen allergy my voice was too „nosy“ and I wasn’t able to change that. That’s an issue because I haven’t found a solution to it yet - without taking medicine. #stolenvoice

began editing the video+audio of the last 4 days at the voiceover conference in London #stolenvoice

voiced some German words for @nathanielchen1's #backpacklanguage #stolenvoice

Translation from stolenvoice tv 27 EN to DE done - 2.000 words the article, 200 words the scirpt for the actual video, 100 words the summary for the teaser on Insta #hip

practiced Baby Bubble Bath commercial script (very, almost childish style) but again experienced had mouth click issues. A good thing that happened: I discovered a style that puts more emphasis on each word like „soft“, „warm“, „snuggly“ saying it like I’m feeling it. Not a breakthrough but a step forward. #stolenvoice

finished the Advanced Voiceover to Pro Standard course #stolenvoice

learned about more advanced humanisation techniques (non-scripted humane sounds), breathing techniques (e.g. staccato breathe) and de-breathing methods, handling commercial copy, the challenges when self-directing and self-analysis, controlling the mic (e.g. bass proximity effect) #stolenvoice

continued learning on Self-Direction for Voiceover Artists #stolenvoice

installed and tried Audacity in my recording studio to make progress with my commercial demo reel (recorded studiolist script and compressed and normalized it, send it out to review the performance and quality) #stolenvoice

raced through 40 pages of a branding guide today to start my voiceover business on the right foot. #stolenvoice

attended voiceover mentoring especially with regard to auditioning #stolenvoice

finished the advanced VO course (doing post-production, working with directors, client-work remotely, physical and vocal health) #stolenvoice

Thursday confession what I got done in my voiceover biz #stolenvoice

learned (as an overview) how to use Reaper and Pro Tools as voiceover artist. Also learned: how to interpret briefs and casting instructions, editing my submission to a casting, how to get on casting lists, doing alternate takes, what it means to go over the top (OTT), the different types of agents and what rates/fee should be charged #stolenvoice
