voiceover training #iian

day 37 of vocal warm-up and pitch training #iian

Speaker training #ss

began a singing course (did the first 8 modules) to discover my voice even more #stolenvoice

attended voiceover mentoring especially with regard to auditioning #stolenvoice

day 38 of singing/warming up (Stevie Mackey’s extended derivate this time) and pitch trainer #iian - just like an instrument gets out of tune so does your voice, so daily vocal exercises are "key" (cuz your voice is an instrument) - and the musicians/vocalists probably get the "play on words" joke with _key_ :P

long training session today in a new setup with better acoustic treatment (way better sound quality) - will try to improve it step by step #stolenvoice

finished the How to Compress Vocal Recordings course #stolenvoice

Generating voices #melies

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

start speech therapy #life

Edit & practice pitch #jovial

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

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

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

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

another voiceover practice session (tomorrow I'll dive into more theoretic work again to improve my practicing practice) #stolenvoice

#me 🎉 try voice acting

continued learning on Self-Direction for Voiceover Artists #stolenvoice

finished the Advanced Voiceover to Pro Standard course #stolenvoice
