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

📷 setting up Premiere Pro & after effect & audition

continued voiceover course (cabling, audio interfaces, hardware, recordings software) #stolenvoice

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

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

(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

Thursday confession what I got done in my voiceover biz #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

(was Friday, Feb 16) finished course "How to voice commercial", read the article related to that, continued the drip on setting up a home-recording studio and watched the webinar on "How to Record Yourself as a Voice Artist" #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

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

wrote my Thursday confession / 7-days review of what I got done in terms of VO biz and art, submitted my new VO performances to get pro feedback and some interaction with another VO student #stolenvoice

began editing the video+audio of the last 4 days at the voiceover conference in London #stolenvoice
