VOICE OVER



Voice Over Technique Performance		Voice-over Acting is all around us. From television to radio, from corporate voice-mail to talking toys, from computer games to corporate videos. We need interesting and unique voices to make our world diverse, upwardly mobile, successful, and exciting. Our lives would not be as rich without the wonderful voice talents we hear everyday. I can help you find your natural, conversational sound that is unique to you and that no one else in the world can deliver, but you. Straight voice-over is based on using your natural voice. Listen to a documentary or a national television commercial, and you’ll probably hear a natural-style voice-over.

Voice-over producers typically search for voice-over artists who can use their natural voices in front of the microphone. Some voice-overs artists sound contrived, trying to affect their voice to sound like someone else. If a producer wanted a voice type different than yours, they would hire someone who naturally had that voice. Make sure that any training classes you attend teach you to use your natural voice. I teach you to be free with your emotions, and develop the skills for complete control. I prepare you for voice-over producers; Equipping you with the tools you need to create and deliver the sound, quality and performance they require. These tools are what voice talent needs, including pacing, volume, range, how to create a character using your audience, lead lines and back-story.

Character Voices Animation		Character voice-over is anything that isn’t straight. Finding your own new voices you have never discovered within you is fun and rewarding. In my sessions we work on different placements and resonating areas to discover what your unique voice can do. Once all you voices are realized and polished and you have learned how to read copy naturally and you’ve mastered the techniques and industry lingo used in studios, we start assembling your demo.
