watched explainer on how to use Adobe Audition as a voiceover #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

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

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

bought my new audio gear #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 Voiceover to Pro Standard course #stolenvoice

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

Setup very professional recording studio for voiceovers #life

totally didn't see that coming, but after having attended the GFTB webinar "2018 Annual Roundup: The State of the Global Voice Industry" in combination with my general "pendulum swing" attitude I decided that starting in 2019 I'll solely focus on voiceover (voice-acting) as my profession. Side-projects like studiolist.io or voiceoversdream.com will only play a role when I have energy and time left, and in case I need a change from voiceover or just something else to "play with". What a surprise! #hip

reviewed the last 7 days in my voiceover biz and shared it #stolenvoice

continued learning on Self-Direction for Voiceover Artists #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
