practiced commercial TV and radio scripts #stolenvoice

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

worked on my improvised home-recording setup, practiced more commercial scripts #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

refined and finalized the last 4 commercial scripts. Finally I brought this to an end. According to my process rehearing is what’ll follow tomorrow (and audio recording them after). Wish me success! #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

spent a full work day finishing the course on my home-recording studio setup, starting the drip on the home studio, started and completed the course on improving my casting chances, and practiced the one commercial radio script that I want to home-run to perfection #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
