practiced commercial TV and radio scripts #stolenvoice

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

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

practiced 3 English commercial (TV) scripts #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

edited a part of a novella which I'll be voicing as a pro-bono assignment and gave feedback #stolenvoice

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

sketched the „unlock“ page of stolenvoice.com #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

continued learning on Self-Direction for Voiceover Artists #stolenvoice

learned about more advanced humanisation techniques (non-scripted humane sounds), breathing techniques (e.g. staccato breathe) and de-breathing methods, handling commercial copy, the challenges when self-directing and self-analysis, controlling the mic (e.g. bass proximity effect) #stolenvoice

wrote script no. 1 of my commercial demo reel (a fictitious company called Caloa) #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

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

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

watched more of the client work essentials training: how to get paid on time and doing the work #stolenvoice

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

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