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

learned/refreshed my knowledge on setting up my home-recording studio, choosing the rigth mic (also for travel) and picking the right software. Current choice: Sennheiser MK4 (home mic) and MKH 416 (travel mic). In terms of software: Reaper or Studio One #stolenvoice

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

worked on my improvised home-recording setup, practiced more commercial scripts #stolenvoice

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

re-iterated on my recording studio by adding more foam overall - didn't take as long as I thought it would. The recordings sound good. I'm not hearing a space echo anymore. Only my performance is a bit weak due to allergy. Will give it a meal break and continue later to see whether I can push to a more healthy voice #stolenvoice

learned a bit more on mic selection and created my preliminary shopping list for home-studio recording gear - takes soo much time (cos me = relatively bad decision maker) - will purchase in a few days and try it all out - AND: learned a few tricks on how to record on the road traveling - SUPER EXCITING and if it works it would be a bit of DREAM COME TRUE :) #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

after a day off because feeling sick-ish and slight ear-pain I had an extended session today (but focussing only on style of delivery to perfect it) with a new recording setup: Sennheiser MKH 416, Pop audio pop filter, Shock mount by Rycote and Focusrite 2i2 mixer - is another level. Also I gave my recording environment a bit more room while still treating it with acoustic foam. #mictime #stolenvoice

Finished the recording studio setup

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

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

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

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

recorded, selected and submitted 5 of my currently best recordings for one script get pro feedback #stolenvoice

Setup very professional recording studio for voiceovers #life

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

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

🎙 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

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
