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

Good day. First, 5 hours day job then 7 hours of producing and publishing stolenvoice tv 32 #hip

produced + published episode 3 of #stolenvoice IGTV on tongue twisters

Got that ep 28 of stolenvoice tv done - after 15 hours and 6.000 lines of text #hip

was so "crazy" today to skip producing & published today's show (stolenvoice tv 29) and relax and nap instead. I needed and almost don't feel bad I did. Tomorrow I'll do it then because I know it's important for me to get it done. But I also want to take time for rest when it's the right time. #hip

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

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

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

wrote conclusion and action steps for #stolenvoice tv episode 5 - this episode will be jam-packed!

Feeling good, feeling in flow (something I've been longing for to feel like for many months). Two factors are responsibility for that: an accountability partner keeping me accountable every day (!) my new voiceover show with a new episode (of Stoic philosophy) every day - yes DAILY is the primary keyword, and SOCIAL and PHILOSOPHY are the other (secondary) keywords #hip

finally published episode 4 of #stolenvoice tv

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

worked on my improvised home-recording setup, practiced more commercial scripts #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

finished editing and post-processing part 3 of the London voiceover conference 2018 footage - took longer than expected because I got picky / "perfectionistic" by adding more sound effects and smoother and more intentional transitions - it became a little film again 😉 - now exporting the file and uploading after - also got a little distracted from the editing work because I heard the Zoom H5 picking up the Canon G16 focus motor sound quite a lot - the Zoom was attached to the shoe mount of the camera with no audio absorber, that's why. So during the editing time I improved my vlogging setup by attaching both the camera and the mic seperately to the grip and tripod. Should work better. #stolenvoice

Last week, I finished connecting the 3rd-party LMS to our internal LMS for the bridge-time while I build out the dream version. I'm actually really enjoying not being tied to daily workshops that fit into week sprints. This opens up a lot of interesting opportunities. #pe New videos about screenshot tools, writing a blog and why/where/how, and collaborative white-boarding tools for documentation

after a day off because feeling sick-ish and slight ear-pain I had an extended session today (but focussing only on style of delivery to perfect it) with a new recording setup: Sennheiser MKH 416, Pop audio pop filter, Shock mount by Rycote and Focusrite 2i2 mixer - is another level. Also I gave my recording environment a bit more room while still treating it with acoustic foam. #mictime #stolenvoice

It's been a day job intense (~13 hours) with good conversations and various tasks. Because of that and my Stoicism voiceover show it was a rich day. #hip
