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

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

revamped my studio with more acoustic foam inside the cupboard and made the work surface in the studio plain. Also fixed the blanket so now they're all the time at a fixed location. Makes a quick recording more straight forward. #hip

record pitch video, the new mic slays for these #serverlessreact

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

buy fancy new audio gear

🎙 spent an hour testing out my audio setup, mics, trying to reduce noise and then recorded an hour of audio to help with a few new projects #mylife

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

setup for recording #fajarsiddiq

Shitty 1h recording session. Spent 40 minutes only configuring again PreSonus Studio One (the solution was easy in the end) and had only 20 minutes for the scripts itself which is when I didn't feel like voicing anymore and felt how tired I was as well. Calling it a day. #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

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

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

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

another iteration for the recording of script 1/7 of my commercial demo reel, awaiting the feedback on the artistic performance level and the technical audio quality - making little progress while having fun in the studio imitating monkey because heck the script is about jungle and rainforest *haha* #stolenvoice

bolder and more targeted name "Best Recording Studios for Digital Voiceover Nomads" (instead of "Voiceover studios for Actors, Audiobook Narrators, YouTubers and Podcasters") #studiolist

practiced Baby Bubble Bath commercial script (happy, bit playful style) but experienced (like yesterday) that at a high volume gain I had super audible mouth clicks in the recording (a sign of dehydration) which means in consequence that the recordings of today and yesterday I wouldn’t be able to use. #stolenvoice
