practiced commercial TV and radio scripts #stolenvoice

recorded 10 scripts (commercial, character, corporate, narration) for practing purpose and feedback #stolenvoice

transcribed 10 German scripts (commercials, sync/film, animation, presentation, promotion) to practice them #stolenvoice

continued the commercial VO course and learned the art of speed-reading, how important getting physical is, how to understand the copy and visualize the audience, and learned a thing or two on timing, rhythm, attitude, prosody and projection (it's a trapp :P). I also practice that commercial script on theme park rollercoaster more and submitted a version to let it be reviewed and critiqued professionally #stolenvoice

learned how to make a commercial and dramatic demo reel (each under 2 minutes) #stolenvoice

started with how to voice commercials course and practiced that one script I’ve been dealing with for some time now (I’m still not satisfied especially with the my timing of the screams and some pronunciation) - wanting to improve but I know it’s a process that takes time #stolenvoice

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

recorded, selected and submitted 5 of my currently best recordings for one script get pro feedback #stolenvoice

continued polishing the scripts of my commercial demo reel (iA Writer and Hemingway Editor helped today) #stolenvoice

performed three version of Baby Bubble Bath commercial script (calm-warm, playful with laughter, low-pitch-slow) #stolenvoice

another extensive recording session on the mic recording a commercial script and my first reading-out loud session to start developing my hybrid voice (hybrid because I want to unite my writing and speaking voice to one) #stolenvoice #mictime

practiced Baby Bubble Bath commercial script (warm, caring style) #stolenvoice

practiced Baby Bubble Bath commercial script again with intentionally lower pitch so it fits better my optimal pitch („resonance frequence“). Will experiment a bit more on the script the next days. #stolenvoice

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

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

attended voiceover mentoring especially with regard to auditioning #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

wrote more scripts (studio hub, studio list, el cubano aleman, carma cruise, free write camp, porzov, bardbright) #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

asked for references of British and US voiceover so I have a reference on what to aim for with my VO deliveries #stolenvoice
