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

reviewed the last 7 days in my voiceover biz and shared it #stolenvoice

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

confession time: wrote my 7-day revision of what I got done in terms of VO biz and VO art #stolenvoice

finished editing part 1 (day 1 out of 4) of my time at the London voiceover conference #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

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

continued learning on Self-Direction for Voiceover Artists #stolenvoice

practiced my narration voice when reading out loud the preface and part 1 of "The Thank You Economy" - 7 pages #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

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

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

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

wrote my Thursday confession / 7-days review of what I got done in terms of VO biz and art, submitted my new VO performances to get pro feedback and some interaction with another VO student #stolenvoice

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

learned about other reels (corporate, "voice of gods", audio book"), began a webinar on self-directing my recordings as part of the vo beginners drip, learnned bits and pieces on mixing, playtesting and targeting my reels #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

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

(was Friday, Feb 16) finished course "How to voice commercial", read the article related to that, continued the drip on setting up a home-recording studio and watched the webinar on "How to Record Yourself as a Voice Artist" #stolenvoice
