Hey Tom, when i have videos that i have to out very specific information, i use a teleprompter. The only way to do it without sounding scripted is to practice, practice practice first. The more times you say it the better, then i capitalize words in the script that i want to emphasize, and use symbols for pauses. Larry

Thank you for this video. I am preparing for a new job as a news radio broadcaster and I need to learn how to read without sounding scripted. One of the things I have to work on is reducing the anxiety I feel when simply reading and definitely becoming too mentally excited to read the script smoothly. I want to do a good job (especially since I will be recorded). If I make a mistake, I end up self correcting to the point of giving up because I am too nervous. Please let me know how to get over this fear and read aloud with confidence.

*I am a new voice actor* with a burning desire *to take my skill to the next level*. (I don't have any formal training in acting) My question is: How do I act in a more realistically *resonant and compelling* way when reading -- that is, in a situation where the script isn't memorized? By the way, I really appreciated this video, it was very insightful and informative. While my voice acting realism with memorized scripts is relatively good, there is a problem: *This acting realism does not happen to the same degree when I'm actually reading the script out loud*. It happens when I'm beginning to memorize or have memorized the script. These two modes of acting (memorized versus reading) feel very different in my mind. In fact, I find that when *I've realistically acted a memorized script, and I then try to act it while reading the result is not as good as if I'm not reading. *I've noticed that after I've analyzed the script and eventually memorized it* the more I let go and imaginatively live the story *without reading*, (living the character and feeling his intentions as he interacts with other character(s)), I find that I'm even beginning to feel the characters' sensations bodily (breathing, tension or relaxation etc...) which really helps me act with realistic vocal variations (in my pace, pitch, power, and emotional tone etc...). However, I find it very difficult to achieve the same level of acting while I'm reading the script out loud. So again my question is: How do I act in a realistically resonant way when reading or when the script isn't memorized? My challenge seems to be (and I could be wrong): I have difficulty being fully immersed in or connected to "the theater of my mind" (as I've heard voice actors call it) as I read. As I said, I'm a new voice actor with a burning desire to take my skill to *the next level*, and I would deeply appreciate any feedback you can give. Thanks
@TomJackobs2 жыл бұрын
The method acting way... is to think about a situation in your real life that would bring out the type of emotion you need. But it's hard to do on a cold read... so you'll need to practice with the reading, and make notes on the script you're reading so you know when to pause, when to speed your speech and the type of emotion you need. practice practice practice...

Thanks for the question, I actually memorize parts of the script so I can look right at the camera, then when I need to look at the next section of the script I do, and then edit out any points where I look away.

She tells me NOT to do it because I sound “too carnivally” and that makes me sound of “salesy “. That I sound too much like I’m talking at them and not to them. But I’ve always felt like it always kept the convo more engaging and easier to hear. Especially when it comes to how payments start 4wks out or I tell them about the slogan for the campaign. It’s literally a 20yr old script that she claims she’s never updated because she’s never had to....saying “the verbiage is there for a reason...it’s worked this long. But the best caller on the floor doesn’t even follow her script to the T and she’s on the sales board DAILY. Opinions PLEASE!!
