Always invaluable vo info! Thank you Elaine!

❤❤❤❤❤❤ a big thanks. It's very helpful.😊

Is this safe to do long term? Can I hurt my vocal cords if I talk from the chest for too long?

This is gold. Thanks a lot for this.

I am learning a lot from these episodes and incorporate the techniques into my auditions!

Thank you. I speak nasally and high pitched. I will try this. I want to acquire a mature voice rather than uptalk which I didn't realise I did.

I love your channel it really helps me with enunciation ❤ Thank you!

I can't believe..u r amazing but u deserve more subs

This is one brilliant woman! Thank you for sharing your wisdom Elaine. Your book has helped me sharpen my skills tremendously. I was so excited to stumble on your KZbin channel, I'll be binge watching your videos in the weeks to come.

Hello Elaine! I'm a huge fan of yours. Your insights have had a profound impact on me, and I hold your advice in the highest regard. I'm constantly inspired by the depth of knowledge you share. For me, the more I write good about you, the less it will be, thank you, Elaine!

Thanks for taking the time to make 52 episodes! Wow! I would love to hear a Real Talking Tips future episode about voice rehabilitation after respiratory illness. Thank you for changing my life!

Thank you so much

All your work is excellent. I wonder if you're planning to do an audiobook of "There's Money Where Your Mouth Is". I have been traveling to and from work approx. 2.5 hours recently and I thought if it was available, I would like to listen to your book!

Not everyone can do that. I do not have the luxury of accessing my memories manually plus I'm not too keen on the idea of reliving emotions. 🤔

Nope

Great thecnigue

Incredible

Elaine Clark I am an actor and I would love to learn voice over ASAP! 👍🏽

This is brilliant. Thanks Elaine!!

Fascinating! Very well-explained. Thank you Elaine!

This Talking Tip says it all! Thank you Elaine!

Thanks. I had two jobs tell me I talk too fast... today. So I am here for the reminder and tips.

I'm lovvvin' this one. The fine points of coloring the phrases. I remember talking about this with you, and how to "set up" what follows and do it right. So helpful when you point out the differences between this and "upspeak". There is so much loot packed into this episode, if you get a million views it may be because I have it on auto-loop. Thanks!!

It all flows better with a little hand and body action! It's a great feeling to practice these moves and see how much better I can sound right away. OK, gotta go put that word emphasis chart on my ceiling!!

This episode really tied a few things together for me from your book and apps! Look forward to more tips and applying them to practice! Thank you, Elaine!!

Love these Elaine, always learn something valuable!

Elaine, I LOVE your Real Talking Tips! I keep watching your videos and keep practicing... Thanks for everything you do!

Organic and honest on so many levels! Once again, these valuable capsules are precious. Talk about instinct. This lesson reminds me of how, as a young ruffian, I used to gloss over the negative and proudly proclaim the positive when explaining my dubious actions to my parents. A lesson with Elaine is like giving my hands a private lesson with Arthur Murray.

Dearest Elaine, one of your students from SF. I just LOVE your Real Talking TIPS! I glean so much. I have yet to get your PODCASTING book; however, I did want to ask you a question about charging for sponsorships when you're NOT a Tim Ferris or Joe Rogan. After 16 years, the 1 hour talk show that Jack Perry & I produced for Air America Radio Network back in 2005...my green dream will finally Wo-manifest, Planet Check TV. Think a female green Howard Stern on-camera with IN-STUDIO guests and my favorite feature which I've been doing since 2004 is "Green Rock STAR" where I interview a musician/activist but this time? They'll play just 1 acoustic set in our SOLAR-POWERED RECORDING STUDIO here in San Diego. This is probably a longer convo but since I'm self-funding this passion project, I highly doubt I can afford a consultant of your fine caliber. You'e been on my 2-DO List, "Contact ELAINE ask about rates for sponsors." As I write this, your best seller, "There's Money Where Your Mouth Is" rests on my night stand next to Paramahansa Yogananda's "Scientific Healing Affirmations" funny, both books are orange & yellow--COSMIC! Sonically Yours, ~Mo Mellady www.planetcheck.org

Super helpful in recognizing the ways to deal with lists, and actually looking forward to handling them. Since lists are here to stay, let the hands have their say!

So often while listening to ads on TV and Radio I hear "AND" almost shouted in the message delivery, this tip resonated so well, thanks Elaine.

Finally! A valuable expose' on that often way over-emphasized little word. It so frequently is the loudest word you hear in ads, and now we have a path to make it so much more effective. "And" thanks!!

I'm always informed by your experience and insight with the voice/body connection. Starting with a dance background, I understand the emotion of the body, but later acting classes teach one about an inner history/fantasy/ etc. to draw from. To have the freedom to employ your body, as you're not seen in VO, to color your dialog is a huge advantage when alone in a box sounding "real". Fundamentals that one might never discover without years in front of a mic, before you get there. Thank you, please continue...

Thank you for these videos. I have both your books and the "Activate your voice" app. And, one of my colleagues had mentioned your video training VHS over 2 decades ago! I looked for the tapes everywhere...never found it (pre-social media era), but these videos are a boon! :)

What a great way to conjure up that much-needed aura.

These are the definition of great vocal exercises: ones I didn't know how much I need.

I watched this once. I watched it again, and somewhere along the way-BAM!!...a "weakness" is actually able to be a "strength" in certain VO scenarios. Looking at it all objectively now, ah the truth shall set you free. Like you said, powerful stuff.

Well that was fun. and Useful!

Thank you for making Real Talking Tips. I enjoy it very much. I am currently reading There's Money Where Your Mouth Is and it's wonderful! So much to learn and it's so fun!

Very helpful! Just bought the app :)

Thanks Elaine...you rock!

Short & to the point. I love it! I followed the steps and plan to reference my list from time to time. I am a Voice Actor who hosts a Podcast. Which book would you recommend reading first?

Well done, I am going to follow and take the class.I can always use the tips and your right, don't like my voice and would like to find ways to change it.

Yeah :) 👏👏

So excited about this!
