(Except for one terrible VO video game audition in 1992) Do I put myself right on top of the mic? Or away from it a few inches? Or any tips? Keep yourself squarely facing the mic so that as you read the copy you don't duck your head into your chest or turn away to the side. Hopefully they have a hanging mic or one that's in a comfy position so you can easily read the copy without having to do too many gymnastics. Have a great time!

Camo Guitar posted:Hey guys and girls - If anyone's looking for practice, here's a promo script you can sink your teeth into for something/our next 'cost us nothing' stunt we've got coming up in a week or two:  Tried the Technobabble script late last night but kept sliding into a Yosemite Sam voice for some reason?  I have a fun direction in mind for it so I'll give it another shot at some point.

Incredulous Dylan posted:I had some fun with this one! Little did I know due to my headphones being on that the girl scouts were calling around the neighborhood and every dog decided to freak out on most of my little takes You actually sound like a newsreader, which really is not a bad thing at all  Couple of tricks to help out - breath. If you need to take a breath, do it. At the end of each sentence, breathe. We have so many people that walk into the booth thinking they have to go from start to finish in one take without drawing breath, it's amazing. Stop when you need to, catch your breath (it takes a while to get used to) and try to approach each sentence with the same energy you started the piece with. A bottle of water handy is a very good idea. One thing I encourage clients voicing ads to do is imagine the emotion of being at their favourite sporting event with 2 seconds to spare before it ends and their favourite player has just scored the winning goal/point/whatever. With that feeling in mind, people brighten right up. And whoever mentioned smiling through a piece is bang on. Grin. Grin like there's no tomorrow. Grin til your face hurts. It's hard holding a grin from start to finish so when you breath, reset that grin and kick on. Compare a non grin bit of work to one where you've held a confident grin the entire time and you'll see a very noticable and positive difference. With more of a grin you'll put more of you in each line and less newsreader. However...I'm using your first bit as a newsreader anyway in our promo (because sometimes you hear something and think 'hey, that'd work much better!' so well done ) so I'll post it up shortly.

As promised, I present: Voiceover goons in action! With huge thanks to the contributors: Incredulous Dylan Smoothly kicks things off with a news report Cuddlechunks explains how it works with plenty of flair and emotion in the middle. And The Joe Man ends it with a great voice that wouldn't be out of place on Monster Garage. 3 different voices that were all clear, flowed well and had their own unique take on the script. Well done guys, awesome stuff and thanks for helping me make this promo!

Thanks everyone for the feedback so far! Here's another take at Summerset Hills: Here's the first one for comparison:  I think it's a vast improvement in technique, although I was experimenting with mic placement, and you can hear the room a lot more in it, which is probably not so good. Still struggling with the 's' sound (drat your safe and secluded streets), but I feel it's coming along. I welcome any critique.

It sounds much better than your first, but I believe you took a lot of breaks and continued a few setences which broke the flow. If it isn't you recording new tracks, and is just you editing out excesses noise during pauses, I would recommend fading out the pauses, and fading in slightly as well. While your actual voice is much better, your recording still doesn't sound very natural.

One thing I find really helps when doing reads is printing off the script and marking it yourself. Mark things like emphasis, where you want your voice to rise/fall, even where you breathe. It's up to you how exactly to mark it up; whatever you're comfortable with is best. But I find when reading scripts/lines it's a lot easier to map everything out on the page rather than trying to remember how you wanted to read the script. (Especially on breaths--I've read copy before that has had some stupidly long sentences, and it has helped me immensely marking exactly where I thought the best places to breathe was.) [edit] Also, it turns out my roommate has some pretty nice mics due to music stuff so I might try to steal some from him and contribute to the thread. It's been about six months since I've done voice stuff so I'm pretty rusty but this thread has sparked my interest to go again

Well I auditioned on Saturday for that video game role. I was surprised that it wasn't in a recording studio, but in an annex of a local theatre. They were running a bit behind and I got to see 2-3 other girls and a guy audition before me. That was a little weird, but at the same time kinda nice to ease the nerves. I read my sides, was a bit more 'theatrical' than the other people I saw auditioning, not sure if that was good or bad. They also gave me a short monologue to cold read (although I saw the other girls do it). I tripped over a word, my childhood speech impediment decided to show up while I was trying to say the word "dark" of all things. But I just powered through it and didn't stop (but went back to reread that sentence). One of the other girls messed up, and had to stop and restart the whole thing while giggling and laughing and apologizing. In my mind, time is money baby! Anyway, long story short, I got 2 parts! Not the lead, but 1 small role of someone that gets killed, and one larger role that will be in all 4 episodes of this game, with a email confirmation that they will hire me for all 4 episodes. $100 for 2 hours-max of work. Not bad. I record this week or next, not sure yet. Anyway, thanks for the tips! edit: $100 for 2 hours of work sounds great to me, but I'm wondering if that's a normal rate. What do you commercial guys get, typically? (I know it's not about the money, I'm just curious) Meow Cadet fucked around with this message at 10:29 on Feb 13, 2012 |

Meow Cadet posted:
For videogames, it depends. For local and national TV spots, I have set rates based on the final length of the piece ($x for a 30 sec. spot, $y for a 60 sec., etc.) For web videos, I charge by the minute. I don't have my rate sheet with me at the moment, but it is also dependent on the final length of the piece, or at least the final length of my section. Videogames are the most fun things I do in the VO world, but they are also the most variable in terms of pay. I have done jobs where I do several hours of work for $100, and I have done jobs where I get $300 per half-hour of work. It really depends on the game, the size of the game studio, and the people you are working for. Also, when you are starting out, just take what you can get and add it to your reel!

Voicing is something I've been interested in for a while. I was inspired to finally record something, a poem from the D&D new Reddit thread about the recent child porn fiasco. OldTennisCourt wrote a poem based on Poe's The Raven and I decided to give it a shot. I know there's a lot of things wrong with it, a crappy mic for starters and being that it's after midnight, I had to be a bit quieter than I'd have liked so I didn't wake the neighbors and slight pacing problem, but since there's this thread, here we go.

Hahah nice text to read from. You have a good beginning and the background music fits nicely. You already know your microphone doesn't sound very good and that hurts the quality of the piece. It also sounds like you're too close or the levels are too hot and so the pops are really prominent and the peak levels sound like they are clipping. A new mic would fix some of that, sitting back a bit when recording and having a pop guard would fix the rest. The pacing of the piece made it harder to understand the emotion behind several of the lines. It's okay to take a little longer to say words. Something I've observed from listening to a *ton* of old time radio and audio books is that the reader is actually.....speaking.....each.....word....at...a...much.....slower....pace....than....you....think. It takes your brain a little bit to decode the words and put a sentence together so slowing your delivery down gives people time to catch up with what you are saying. Listen carefully to Vincent Price read The Raven http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27ZvwQd-wXw and you can hear each word and the space he gives them. The slower delivery also gives you a chance to wrap your mouth around the words and give some passages more emphasis or to really get dramatic with each syllable of the word.

CuddleChunks posted:Things! Yeah, sadly the mic I have right now is a headphone mic, did a few test runs trying to put it in a place where it wouldn't catch breath from "hard" sounds, but a bunch still snuck through. I'll probably consider buying a better one soon though. Thanks for the tips! I'll probably end up reading The Raven itself a few times in the same style voice for practice and maybe go back and find some other dialog from this thread here for other styles.

Roberto_Silencio posted:Yeah, sadly the mic I have right now is a headphone mic I'm not sure if it's actually clipping or is just a headset mic but try turning the input volume down so that your record levels are a little lower. Set the input slider to half of its current position and re-record a chunk of text. Check it out after recording and see how it actually sounds. Fiddling with the gain may make it work a little better. For an excellent story try "The Retired Colourman" http://www.archive.org/details/HQSherlockRathboneTCS Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce star as Sherlock Holmes and Watson. They are *pros* for vocal work. Rathbone has severe, clipped tones while Bruce is a mumbly, upper class Brit. Despite his blumph blumph blumph voice, he is usually quite clear for his narration sections. One thing you can do is pause a section, type up the words they are saying, rewind and then play it through. It should help illustrate how they spend a *lot* more time on each word than you do when reading the text in your head. They demonstrate vocal dynamics (louder and softer sections), emotive reading and other techniques. If you can get anywhere near what they did then you are heading in the right direction. This is from the 40's at the height of radio's popularity. In my opinion, these guys are among the many great radio performers of that age. Rathbone in particular gets to flex his vocal muscles in other episodes when he plays different characters. It's all great stuff. No matter what, practice practice practice! E/N is a great forum for finding seriously goofy passages to read. If you then use a mocking tone and throw in some effects you can be a real rear end in a top hat. If the OP completely freaks out then you can chalk it up to a job well done.

Just searched for a thread like this, it is exactly what I need exactly when I need it! I finally got a phone inbox for my drum company and my voice message just plain sucks balls. I'm looking for anyone with decent vocals to get me a professionally sounding outgoing message. Length: n/a Due: ASAP, my voice just does not do my company justice. Notes: "B Meson" is pronounced "Bee Mess On". The web address can be said the same way. Can you read the lines a few times so I have enough to edit around with, thanks. Script: "You have reached B Meson Custom Percussion. You've reached the inbox of B Meson Custom Percussion. Please leave your name and number first followed by a brief message. Custom drum quotes can be received online through our website at bmeson.com. https://www.bmeson.com. Thanks for your call. Thank you for your call. We'll return your call promptly. Be Inspired, Be Unique, B Meson. Have a nice day. Thank you. 315-451-7282." Pay: I dont have paypal but I'd like to pay $10 to the one I finally use. I think you can send me an invoice or something. But I also don't want to get someones hopes up if I don't use it, it needs to be fairly good.

That was awesome! I loved it. Is there any way you can just do the lines with the "B Meson" in it and try it with a little more of the "O" in meson. (Right now it sounds more like "Mesan" or "mesin" if that makes sense.) I already know i'm gonna use yours so this would make it perfect!

Mutant Headcrab posted:Name: Mutant Headcrab 1. Turn your recording levels down. What I hear happening is as you get louder you are peaking out what the mic can record causing it to clip. This makes many parts of your speech sound fuzzier than they should. It sounds like you're using a cheap mic or a headset or something and that's fine for getting started but learning how to tune your record levels is a critical first step. 2. GRAMMETERS. There is a lot of emphasis put on that particular part, why? 3. Breathing and emphasis within the lines is tricky with this piece. It's a notorious wall of technobabble so this is a good script to take a pencil, read through a section a few times and figure out where you need to breathe. Then, see if you are the end of a line or in the middle of a statement. If you are, you need to figure out where to breathe earlier and *mark your script*. This will show you when to stop after particular passages so that you don't get halfway through a frambulated decrampazoid and <breathe> still need to tell them about the oscillator. 4. Vocal inflection choice. I'd consider this a comic style reading because it sounds like you're going for a 30's or 40's announcer. They often sounded all compressed and shouty because the recording technology just couldn't reproduce the sound for poo poo. Watch a Bugs Bunny cartoon where there is an announcer coming over the radio and you'll hear That Voice. You can simulate it pretty well with some very expensive electronics or by cupping your hands in front of your mouth. Give that a try and see what it sounds like. The Newsreel Announcer Sound. This is a British newsreel from 1939 and gives you an idea of what those types of announcers sounded like. The History Eraser Button from Ren and Stimpy. Listen especially to the diction of the announcer and how his overall levels don't change much in his performance. He sounds energetic without shouting. If you don't mind re-recording that piece, try adjusting your levels and marking up the script so that you know exactly where you want to take a breath. The sentences are meaningless gibberish but they still have to sound like a real life product - that's the purpose of the piece. Congrats Camo Guitar! Also  you sneaky foreigner, comin' in and takin our jorbs!

I have a humble request if anybody is interested in doing free work (where you can utilize whatever voice or style that suits your fancy) for an absolutely inane purpose. Essentially, in the Sonic & Friends Get Trolled thread a comic of... unbelievable quality was posted. I took it upon myself to begin animating it, of which I've done the first page of the first chapter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGrprj9D1QI&hd=1 Now, I voiced this first episode as I consider my voice perfect for a hateful troll, but there's a lot of Sonic characters (as well as Elmer Fudd, the Hulk, and others) with... uniquely written dialogue that need to be brought to life. I finished doing the image prep-work for page2, and have a good voice for Shadow (who is a bad hedgehog of some sort that hurts people), but Sonic desperately needs someone to fill his role. Here is page2, and the full comic can be found in the previously linked thread. The specific lines that I need to animate page2 are as follows (this is the correct punctuation): Tails Gets Trolled - Sonic posted:he has been getting trolled. you know how it is . there calling tails gay and poo poo he can't take it I wish I could pay for the effort, but I'm literally animating this because it makes me laugh, which is the same reason I do most of the things I do. If my laughter could shoot coins into your pockets, believe me I would do so, or maybe I'd just find a way to game it and shoot funny-money into my own clothing, I dunno. I'll be animating this specific page over the next few days, but if it takes longer for any brave souls who want to attempt this there's no real deadline. If anybody wants to do lines for any of the characters (wouldn't go any farther than the first chapter though), I would greatly appreciate it.

topenga posted:For a reading like this, it's hard to imagine talking to someone directly because it's so scripted. I think the best "out" for this script would be a slightly over-exaggerated reading. Crazed. First thought when buying a can of expired peanuts is "how can I kill someone with this can of expired peanuts?!?" Did a voice-over role of a haunted house for a student film recently, I'll post it when I see it. I wanted to go full-on Skeletor/Megatron/Murray but they told me to "tone down the evil" and go for a casual/hip/urban sounding house, yet "kinda mean at the same time BUT NOT TOO MEAN!!" Basically, they didn't know what the gently caress they wanted. I think my reading sucked because I constantly had to force myself to hold back on what I knew would actually sound good, purposefully over-the-top, and make the movie unique and funny. As it is now, the thing doesn't even make sense and I just lazily berate a Native American dude for 5 minutes. Just....just let me go full-on Skeletor....

Hi, I'm Sulphuric Sundae, and I'm an amateur voice actor. At one point, a shy 18-year-old me got drafted into doing intercom announcements of specials at my job at a grocery store. So every 30 minutes, every Saturday for like 6 years, I would excitedly tell customers that they could get strawberries for 2 for $4 or Sauer's brand mayo for $1.98. And don't forget to pick up a fresh pecan pie in the bakery today, buy one, get one free! On top of that, I would always volunteer to read aloud in school. Years of that really helped me work on my natural speaking voice. In the days before internet distribution became mainstream, I worked with a local studio on a couple shows for a CD series of original Twilight Zone-ish stories. I don't think the $20 CDs sold well, I didn't get any royalties, the studio dissolved, and I never actually got to listen to the final product. I've done a few shows with a group that performs old radio shows here in Richmond. They're called the On The Air Radio Players. Like much community theatre, it does not pay. BUT (like other community theatre), it's definitely been good for networking. We have a few people who work on the shows in some capacity or another who also do commercials and some other voice over work in the area. If you have a radio players type dealie in your general vicinity, check 'em out. You should have a blast, get to show off some character voices, and (hopefully) be working with a few knowledgeable people. I have a little bit more free time and spare dough than I used to, so I'm gonna start shopping for one of the wonderful mics mentioned in this thread. If I manage to make a passable demo in the near future, I will post it here.

Our script contest last year had like 5 submissions or something, and I think they were all from the Richmond area. But I was talking with the board last week, and they told me they got something close to 40 this time. Maybe it's just because the criteria isn't as narrow as it was last year, where the scripts had to be confined to a specific genre. Next paycheck, I'll buy a mic. But, as I sit in my house in the suburbs, I realize that there's a lot of noise around. People mowing their lawns, birds chirping from the tree near my window, children playing, young fellows trying to impress ladies with their loud, souped up pickup trucks and motorcycles. Should I be using an SM58 or some other dynamic mic like that to help mitigate the outside noise?

Hi. I'm helping to create a short narrative historical documentary about the early days of Canada's National Film Board for a university history class. Unfortunately, a voice actor bailed at the very last minute, and we really need to find someone that can do these lines with a scottish accent. Due: Before Wednesday night, March 28th. Notes: John Grierson was a scottish filmmaker. You can find a sample of his voice here, around 23:49 and 26:10. If it would be possible to have the lines read a couple different ways, that would be very much appreciated. Script: My hope has been that film will secure the future and serve the still wider needs of the people of Canada. John Grierson. Those who had studied the development of propaganda were constantly warning that a highly organized Information Service, national and international, was as necessary as any other line of defence. The National Film Board will be the eyes of Canada. It will, through a national use of cinema, see Canada and see it whole--its people and its purposes. So there you have it. There are two sides to propaganda, and two sides to the film at war. In that way I have thought to rescue from these barren days of trouble something we can hand on to the future. Pay: We don't really have a budget, but we would be able to offer $20 as a token of our appreciation and gratitude.

Just checking in with everyone to see if anyone's done some voicework in the meanwhile and if you've been successful in finding local acting lists to sign up for and buffed up your resumes. Also offering any free coaching advice for a bit (at least until I get busy again).
