practiced commercial TV and radio scripts #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

Thursday confession what I got done in my voiceover biz #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

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 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

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

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

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

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

continued learning on Self-Direction for Voiceover Artists #stolenvoice

learned how caricature/animation/kids demo reels are made and what role an accent does play #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)

Got an early, quick and dirty version of my commercial demo reel done - awaiting feedback from my VO peer #hip

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 (as an overview) how to use Reaper and Pro Tools as voiceover artist. Also learned: how to interpret briefs and casting instructions, editing my submission to a casting, how to get on casting lists, doing alternate takes, what it means to go over the top (OTT), the different types of agents and what rates/fee should be charged #stolenvoice

filled my first whiteboard with the structure of video show I'm having in mind #stolenvoice

(on Thursday 22) finished the "Home Studio" Drip emails, made it until "Module 11 – Delivery Speed – Fast" of the "Advanced Voiceover to Pro Standard" course, watched "British Voice Artists: Making it in America" webinar and wrote my weekly confession in terms of what I got done in the last 7 days #stolenvoice
