wrote script no. 1 of my commercial demo reel (a fictitious company called Caloa) #stolenvoice

attended voiceover mentoring especially with regard to auditioning #stolenvoice

finished the advanced VO course (doing post-production, working with directors, client-work remotely, physical and vocal health) #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

Thursday confession what I got done in my voiceover biz #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 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

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

transcribed 10 German scripts (commercials, sync/film, animation, presentation, promotion) to practice them #stolenvoice

finished the Advanced Voiceover to Pro Standard course #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

crafted the new recording environment with new (awesome!!!) gear: Sennheiser MKH 416, Pop audio pop filter, Shock mount by Rycote holding the mic (whereas the shock mount is attached to a Manfrotto tripod) and Focusrite 2i2 mixer. Best recording quality I ever had. Now, only my delivery can suck or better don't 😛 - oh happy day ^^ #stolenvoice

wrote more scripts (studio hub, studio list, el cubano aleman, carma cruise, free write camp, porzov, bardbright) #stolenvoice

finished editing 18 minutes of final material for #stolenvoice tv episode 5 (and 6 minutes of outtakes) - the result of 3 weeks not catching up (never again)

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

learned about the casting process and getting work as a VO, the preferance for custom demos or custom clips for the casting, and that success as a VO means to practice a lot (!) and learn tons. Did a light refreshment of a sound theory: e.g. difference of dynamic mics and condenser mics, sample rate, bit rate #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

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

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