PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. ep104
It’s always a good idea to expand your skills. Committing to VoiceOver can help to improve your acting ability. Follow these seven steps:
1. Master self-direction - As a voiceover actor, you are beginning to master self-direction with every audition.
2. Engage Your Imagination - Applying your imagination to a script that lacks imagery is vital to your performance. The greater your imagination, the greater your performance.
3. Practice vocal health - Your voice is considered the core expression of your performance. You improve your ability to express yourself well when you pay attention to your vocal health. VoiceOver allows you to do this.
4. Discover microphone techniques - VoiceOver is the ultimate crossover medium. Become familiar through reading or watching videos about mic techniques to help you to deliver a seamless performance.
5. Step out of your comfort zone - Only through exposing yourself to controlled risk can you learn to trust your gut and create with every take.
6. Focus on your acting ability - Voiceover allows you the freedom to play roles for which you might otherwise never be considered. This allows you to branch out and apply your acting chops to a number of roles to help you grow as an actor.
7. Practice Makes Perfect - Use your performance muscle or it will atrophy. Nothing improves your skills and innate abilities, to remain sharp as exposing yourself to multiple auditions. Pursuing VoiceOver requires you to audition often, each day. Remember, practice makes perfect.
