This is an absolutely FANTASTIC video - objectively. It is *extremely* rare to see content of this caliber. And I'm not exaggerating. There is a Harvard lecture viewable on youtube called "How to Speak" - it teaches the ideal features of a presentation & how to be an effective educator. This video does every single thing the Harvard class advised. Seriously, this could be used to teach new creators the features of an effective educational video. If you analyze this lesson, you find every box checked off: - Introduction is brief and purposeful. Every sentence communicates meaningful information to the viewer. No padding or fluff. Quickly gets to the point. - No superfluous info. Background/history section provides important context while remaining as brief as possible. Additional, optional, reading is provided in the description. - In the first 30 seconds, it is directly and clearly stated what the viewer can expect to know by the end of the lesson. - Extremely useful, novel information. Genuine, high density educational material. Not just recycled self-help BS. - Not only delivers on the promise, but vastly exceeds expectations and over-delivers by a factor of 7000x (!) - Tons of examples, all demonstrated by an expert and accompanied by purposeful explanations. Every example is clean, clear, and concise. As are the explanations. - Strong pacing. Does not perseverate or become redundant. Consistently moves forward without showing every single combination, respecting the viewer's intelligence and time. - Engaging, energetic, lively presentation. Not monotonous or boring. Inspires excitement and a desire to learn & improve. - "Advertisement" at the end is placed _after_ the content and is well-earned, passionate, and convincing. Clearly for a product you sincerely believe in (obviously, as it is your own product). I happened across this video by chance, while looking up how to edit voiceover audio to sound professional. Countless numbers of people have told me I have a fantastic voice and should do radio or voice acting, but I never seriously considered it due to my career in medicine. I am most inspired by this video though, I must say. This is the first video I've EVER seen that was of such high quality it actually made me want to buy the service being advertised at the end. Excellent, excellent stuff. Keep this up!

Like Ive never been able to comprehend how voice actors did this and you kinda made it about the story of who the people are. which understanding characters is something "feel". like are they stuck inside their head - nasaly or are they louder and more confident, what happens when you take the timing of the louder character and compliment it with the high twinge of a 70s cartoon villain? pace the timing a little more as if yelling at lackeys passing-who are-giving you items you "SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED THEM NOT TO TOUCH"....( so it doesn't sound like a villian monologue, atleast to me.

Breaking down the aspects of voice into different volumes, rhythms, textures, etc. is such an incredibly valuable set of lessons; it cannot be overstated how important knowing and understanding this is, and it's shocking that I haven't seen anyone else mention these before (not to say there aren't others bringing them up and explaining them, rather to emphasize when searching for advice on speaking, acting, changing your voice, etc. this is a one of a kind video, from my experience).

This has honestly been really helpful! I want to become a voice actor so badly so I am trying to make up different voices. I have a very high pitched voice and I really want to lower it, do you have any advice?

Check out my videos on getting a lower voice. They should help!

This has to be hands down one of the best KZbin Videos I've watched in the last like 19 years. Thank you!!!!

[@ImproveYourVoice]

Thank you very much for saying so! Is it something you’ll use?

[@WizardOfAuxDJ]

@ImproveYourVoice Oh heck ya. I'm working on animating a series and I'm most likely going to be doing most of the voices and instead of using effects, this will be wayyy better. I'm not a voice artist myself (I don't really like my voice) but I'm definitely going to be utilizing these tips! I put it on my watch later list so I can take notes of the different categories that I can mix and match the way you so beautifully laid it out. It made me even more excited to keep creating :) Cheers!

[@KimNiemi]

Love this so much. I studied Laban in theater school, and NEVER would have thought to apply it to the voice. And all of this, of course, is before considering changing posture in any way, or using another bit of physicality, which ALSO impacts how all of these would sound. Amazing. Thanks!

[@ImproveYourVoice]

Thank you! Yeah I learned it at Acting school and we did in fact use it in many ways including like this for the voice! It’s such a great system. Thanks for your comment 🙏😁

[@PhotoMentor]

THE best video I have seen on this topic. Everyone else I find shows them doing impressions but no one breaks it down to this level. EXCELLENT !

[@ImproveYourVoice]

Thank you 🙏 any other video ideas?

[@PhotoMentor]

@@ImproveYourVoice Great question. Based on how popular this video has been and the fact that it is evergreen, I would suggest you break down elements in this video to smaller sections. There is a lot in here to absorb. For example: I am not doing VO's professionally and I would assume others are not as well. I just want to create a character or two for my own videos. So maybe take one style and put them into one or two genres. For example... Start by selecting one group and show us how to develop that character. i.e. Male, Age Group, and Character.... Bob, 35, Businessman or Gerald, 65, Know-it-geek. What seems to be missing is creating the backstory of a character. The voice is a lot of practice but how important is it to create a persona around a character you are creating so you can imagine them?

[@mariawalker3720]

I'm just trying to become an audiobook narrator. This went so far past what I was expecting. Thank you the the parts of developing voices. Now I just gotta work at them. I figure if I can manage 20 (I don't see needing 5000) over the next 6 months well I will be happy. Thanks.

[@jeffreyelya9996]

This guy is good, and his direction on how to get to the different tones is slightly different than how someone who, say is more of a singer might get there. I started vocal lessons in high school, and most of the time I am able to do stuff like this without cracking up. I've kinda made a name for myself as the 'other' voice behind the Aflac duck....

[@ImproveYourVoice]

Thanks for saying that. So it came in Useful then?

[@jeffreyelya9996]

@@ImproveYourVoice I'm going to say yes and no. I got through maybe half your video, and plan to come back to it. What I usually do is work on scales and different pitches on my keyboard to make sure they match up with the note. As a baretone singer, I managed to disprove the idea that guys can't get higher than the middle C note, but I would imagine you already knew that. I sometimes sing along with songs performed by females, but not all that often.

[@MichaelGray-gn9fv]

Thank you Darren for breaking it down in such a useable fashion. This is absolute gold.

[@barton1516]

Didn't see it listed in your "3 people" but saw others say it below, definitely here to be a better dungeon master who can create a better variety of voices for NPCs...now if I could only figure how to make sure they all have unique names...for some reasons players don't like it when you name every NPC "Alex" and "Pat"... :P. Either way, thanks a million for making this video!!! :D

[@jessicaj.1011]

No doubt this video will help anyone wanting to do their own voices. This is great! I only wish I could get rid of the sound of my voice. It’s recognizable in every voice I try. I realize some people are so good that they can hide theirs.

[@tashlentine]

OMG THANK YOU!! I'm 2/3 through my first term at drama school and we've had one class on LABAN where we spent 3 hours flailing our arms around and rolling around on the floor. All our other teachers refer to LABAN constantly and I had absolutely no idea what it really was or how to apply it to anything else until now and my course is so intense I don't have time to sit down and read any books on it either. I'm working on my entry for the Carleton Hobbs award at the moment and have been struggling to make a male voice seem legit aside from just lowering my pitch - i haven't even watched the whole video yet but this LABAN section alone is invaluable!

[@ImproveYourVoice]

Where are you E15?

[@ProfessorXenoblade]

This was an awesome video and extremely informative. I'm currently enrolled in a Voice and Movement class but they haven't gone into nearly as much detail as you have in this short video. Those notes will definitely help for the future. I'm trying to enhance and hone my vocal skills since I'd love to become a VO artist; extremely glad this video showed up.
