I have been so nervous to try and do this myself, but video is exactly what I needed to feel like I actually know what I'm doing! Having a blueprint to follow is so helpful, thank you!

[@jaymyersvoiceover]

Rock on! Good luck and have fun with it!

[@erikacalvert9481]

Jay, you are amazing! Thank you so much for this…..so many pearls of wisdom! You are such an invaluable resource to the VO community, especially those of us who are struggling to fully understand and appreciate all of the tools in their DAW. Also loved hearing your thought process for trimming the script. Bravo!

[@jaymyersvoiceover]

Thanks Erika! :)

[@brianfairbank6178]

Wow Man, that was killer. Your previous technical videos were what brough me to the channel. Getting all the steps laid out in order like this was wicked cool. Thanks, B

[@oluwaseyiosagie9333]

Wow! What I’ve been looking for to ease me into the world of voiceover work! I’ve been struggling on how to prepare my scripts. Thank you sooo much.

[@jaymyersvoiceover]

I'm so glad!

[@suzieprater8083]

I can't wait to watch this! Thanks for doing this video! And if you get a chance, will you do a video showing how to use the mouth de clicker in the Izotope software. As soon as I feed my dogs I'll be back to watch this!

[@erikacalvert9481]

Thanks!

[@ManMediaTz]

Thank you so much

[@jaymyersvoiceover]

My pleasure! 😇

[@zsleeper5]

Thank you so much for your help !

[@jaymyersvoiceover]

Of course!

[@ozlit_audio]

Yes! Thanks for coming through man, this gold is getting mined. Comprehensive as heck!

[@jaymyersvoiceover]

Absolutely mate!

[@cives]

So you explain how to edit in Reaper with the standard included plugins, except for the clicks. Isn't there a good plugin for the clicks? I get them as well with my speech and I can't/don't want Izotope plugin in my workflow, since I work in Linux. Except for that incoherent piece of advice, your channel is quite useful. Congratulations!

[@jaymyersvoiceover]

I’m not sure Reaper has a declicker which is why I didn’t include that step.

[@richardbarr223]

hey good day, what mic pre and eq are you using?

[@jaymyersvoiceover]

Hey! Most are linked in the description. Eq varies, but I have other vids on that specifically. 😊
