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

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

attended a mentoring session on voiceover - helpful for my next biz steps and goal-setting #stolenvoice

rehearse-recorded the Studio List script and realized that my new recording setup has too much room echo. So, gotta have to work on reducing the noise before I can make proper recordings for the reel. Also abandoned Reaper as my DAW/recording software (it’s just a PITA to use it for me) and choose PreSonus Studio One Prime instead #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

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

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

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

recorded 10 scripts (commercial, character, corporate, narration) for practing purpose and feedback #stolenvoice

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

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

attend voiceover webinar - 5 Voiceover Technology Products You Didn’t Know You Needed! - #iian

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

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

A great effect of a sabbatical is clarity: Today I defined the merger of stolenvoice tv and IGTV to become one show (one format) and only to published once a week (Friday) instead of daily IGTV (Mon-Fri) and weekly stolenvoice tv (Fri). Also, I'll use stolenvoice.blog as the place where I'll write the full-text article whereas stolenvoice.tv/ followed by the episode number will lead to the IGTV episode directly. Also, I'll be using my third 4 hours of my 12 total productive for either studiolist.io or music-making. #hip
