attended voiceover mentoring especially with regard to auditioning #stolenvoice

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

practiced the commercial script ("All The Towers" theme park) and liked some aspects of my performance, but not everything, especially that clipping occured. Can't wait for my new mic + mixer to arrive so I can regulate the gain level better. #mictime #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

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

wrote how I chose my voiceover software for recording and editing my voice - draft for #stolenvoice blog

Though I made a recording "for the trashcan" (cos I wasn't able to submit it) I still had more mic time in German which allowed me to practice more and maybe even get feedback for my VO delivery. #hip

finished editing part 2 (day 2 out of 4) at my time at the One Voice voiceover conference in London (almost a month ago - what?!) - now uploading to Vimeo #stolenvoice

after a day off because feeling sick-ish and slight ear-pain I had an extended session today (but focussing only on style of delivery to perfect it) with a new recording setup: Sennheiser MKH 416, Pop audio pop filter, Shock mount by Rycote and Focusrite 2i2 mixer - is another level. Also I gave my recording environment a bit more room while still treating it with acoustic foam. #mictime #stolenvoice

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

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

took longer than planned but finally done, my first #stolenvoice IGTV video episode about the most important voiceover advice - hydration

practiced 3 English commercial (TV) scripts #stolenvoice

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

attended the OneVoice voiceover conference in the last 4 days #stolenvoice

attended a mentoring session on voiceover - helpful for my next biz steps and goal-setting #stolenvoice

had another #mictime session with some progress but still wasn't happy with the performance (it's a tricky one because I try to combine a calm, conversational tone with a mix of fear and joy). So that's work in progress 😉 #stolenvoice

finished the Advanced Voiceover to Pro Standard course #stolenvoice
