raced through 40 pages of a branding guide today to start my voiceover business on the right foot. #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

confession time: wrote my 7-day revision of what I got done in terms of VO biz and VO art #stolenvoice

a "funny" it was, macmini came, skype call with my client with also uncomfortable topics (speaking of bureaucratic stuff that ultimately means I HAVE TO find new clients to create revenue from those) which essentially means that I have to move my ass into a direction where I do make money with voiceover and not only "play around" - that's life: a drama of high and low and all the things in between.... 😉 #hip

had first day of practicing voiceover daily - voice was a bit „in a bucket“ (in German it makes sense to say it ^^) #stolenvoice

after weeks of thinking I subscribed to Adobe’s Creative Suite so I have access to Audition, Premiere Pro, After Effects and Illustrator. Expecting that this is a good business investment for #stolenvoice with ROI in terms of the creations I’ll do which are voiceover recordings and voiced video animations (AVV)

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

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

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

what a weird day: started with day job direclty, didn't the the MIT (most important thing), then voiceover-related webinars, then more day job hours, then weird 4.5-hrs nap until 1.30 am, then wrote + recorded stolenvoiceIGTV (took almost 3 hours) and wrote my thursday truth in the GFTB community for another almost 3 hours. Life = weird? Yes. #hip

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

#me 🎉 try voice acting

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

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

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

attended the OneVoice voiceover conference in the last 4 days #stolenvoice

another voiceover practice session (tomorrow I'll dive into more theoretic work again to improve my practicing practice) #stolenvoice

found a place to do voiceover pro-bono work: librivox.org - it's not exactly for charities or non-profits but for the public domain #stolenvoice

attended voiceover mentoring especially with regard to auditioning #stolenvoice
