performed three version of Baby Bubble Bath commercial script (calm-warm, playful with laughter, low-pitch-slow) #stolenvoice

practiced Baby Bubble Bath commercial script (very, almost childish style) but again experienced had mouth click issues. A good thing that happened: I discovered a style that puts more emphasis on each word like „soft“, „warm“, „snuggly“ saying it like I’m feeling it. Not a breakthrough but a step forward. #stolenvoice

practiced Baby Bubble Bath commercial script again with intentionally lower pitch so it fits better my optimal pitch („resonance frequence“). Will experiment a bit more on the script the next days. #stolenvoice

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

practiced 3 English commercial (TV) scripts #stolenvoice

practiced commercial TV and radio scripts #stolenvoice

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

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

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

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

attended voiceover mentoring especially with regard to auditioning #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 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

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

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

practiced first script of my commercial demo reel but eventually stopped. Due to my pollen allergy my voice was too „nosy“ and I wasn’t able to change that. That’s an issue because I haven’t found a solution to it yet - without taking medicine. #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

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

asked for references of British and US voiceover so I have a reference on what to aim for with my VO deliveries #stolenvoice
