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

digitally connected with people I met at the voiceover conference #stolenvoice

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

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

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

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

watched more of the client work essentials training: how to get paid on time and doing the work #stolenvoice

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

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

practiced my narration voice when reading out loud the preface and part 1 of "The Thank You Economy" - 7 pages #stolenvoice

continued polishing the scripts of my commercial demo reel (iA Writer and Hemingway Editor helped today) #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

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

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

finished the Advanced Voiceover to Pro Standard course #stolenvoice

attended voiceover mentoring especially with regard to auditioning #stolenvoice

bought my new audio gear #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
