You are a treasure! I "discovered" you only today, but have learned so much already (and I've been doing voice overs for over 25 years!). Thank you for your generosity in sharing all this with us! 🙏

Thanks for these valuable tips. I've been pegged as an "announcer" since 2nd grade when I was cast in the school play as the voice of the "Mirror Mirror Upon the Wall". In a college speech class, my reading of Shakespeare was reviewed by the professor as "the first time I've ever heard Shakespeare read as a radio commercial!" She had me pegged, because I just retired after 40+ years on the air. I guess I really need to up my game as a more natural, conversational talent...not easy after decades of announcing!

The Denny's example was really funny. Thank you for showing me examples of differences between voice types. That was helpful.

This is really good. I always felt that with the announcing style you would be talking at the listener, rather than to them.

I was finding it a little difficult differentiating between a Narrators's delivery and the Conversational style. Your points are so helpful! TY - I am going to try this with the talking on the phone to the one person approach to see if my voice can change out of Narrator for the job I have right now.

I’ve often wondered if this conversational tone isn’t as new or foreign as some advice videos may make it seem. What they’re talking about *would* be quite different from a “Sunday, SUNDAY, Sunday...come down to Bob’s Carpet Emporium, where everything must go!” commercial or the “Tired of opening jars the old way, we’ll have we got a gizmo for you!” infomercial energies we used to hear, where they’re belting out the message. But those of us trained for more theatrical deliveries with more focus on natural sounding emotion may be quite familiar with the principles of the conversational tone. So a narrator’s delivery, where you’re describing things to and connecting with people instead of directing them, may be close to a conversational tone, already.

My old insurance agent from Manning SC told me a decade ago I should go into radio, he said he had a buddy in radio in Florence SC and that I should go visit him, I never did. Since then I've been in the background three TV shows several different seasons and featured in a few scenes. Now I'm auditioning for my first short film. I wish I had visited when I had the chance but Gods getting me right where i needed to be

Thanks for information. How many times do we have to rehearse script before recording..??
@jeanne88984 жыл бұрын
Until it sounds natural. You are voicing someone else's words and may sound stilted at first. I like to parse the script to identify times to add a pause or take a breath, or identify words where I should add inflection and emphasis. Try to convey the emotion in your voice (since you can't "show" that through facial expressions or body language - although I will still do those things behind the mic - it really helps bring out the emotion).

Thanks -- I kind of had an idea of what it meant but needed some extra input, and I think what you provided might be what I needed. I was at the point of if I saw another person who said "conversational" or "sincere" in an audition I wanted to smash them in the mouth. Maybe this will keep me out of jail. :)

Thomas, I know what you mean. I seriously thought that it was gonna be a hindrance to me being able to learn how to do voice overs. I think I’m just learning to get used to it. Because my natural voice is way different than I thought it sounded. Still learning.
@CaseTate4 ай бұрын
@@MrEdTaps I can tell you that NO ONE hears their recorded voice initially and thinks it sounds like them. But the fact is - it DOES. It doesn't to you because you have lived your entire life listening to your own voice through your inner ear, within your head! Everybody else hears your voice through their outer ear. That is why it doesn't 'sound like you'...
