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

watched explainer on how to use Adobe Audition as a voiceover #stolenvoice

started the course on character acting for voiceover: learned about method/naturalistic acting (Stanislavski), expressive action; brief history of acting/drama (starting with Greeks); when to choose which method of acting; the 10 questions to ask as an actor #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

had first day of practicing voiceover daily - voice was a bit „in a bucket“ (in German it makes sense to say it ^^) #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

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

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

today's mic time was only 10 minutes long because I practice late and shouting in the mic at night in a non-acoustically treated room is not a good idea if I want my neighbors to be friendly to me 😉 - so I used the rest of the time doing the course on character acting and I learned about the 7 keys to characterization #stolenvoice

practiced 3 English commercial (TV) scripts #stolenvoice

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

practiced commercial TV and radio scripts #stolenvoice

worked on a re-voice for a video, transcribed the text and added new background music. Final edit later #stolenvoice

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

learned/refreshed my knowledge on setting up my home-recording studio, choosing the rigth mic (also for travel) and picking the right software. Current choice: Sennheiser MK4 (home mic) and MKH 416 (travel mic). In terms of software: Reaper or Studio One #stolenvoice

finished the Character Acting for Voiceovers course (module 12 to 23 in five hours) #stolenvoice

another revision of the studiolist script recording for my commercial demo reel #stolenvoice

watched webinar with Scottish actor Lewis Macleod on character acting for voiceovers (super cool and funny guy!) #stolenvoice
