Nice job Lenny! Even for a seasoned veteran, it's helpful to hear your intelligent and well articulated voice over tips.

[@HeyLennyB]

Hey Rick! I appreciate that. Hope you're doing well!

[@asianguy6174]

Two schools of thought on this. One that you should focus on the emotion and not pay so much attention on trying to sound a certain way, the other that you should pay attention to your tone inflection, etc while focussing on the emotion. It’s a difficult balancing act I still struggle with.

This is so helpful thank you so much. I am literally just beginning VO and there’s so much information out there and this is something to hold onto now and for the future. Cheers

[@ToddStarkVO]

Thanks to this video, I have a new motivational message to post in my office to ensure my emotional connectivity is always top of mind: "Taste the Pepperoni!" Awesome!!

[@matthewcebrian]

I”m a lawyer considering getting into VO work, I’ve been advocating the importance of focusing on emotional connections as a lawyer for at least a decade, this video makes me think this VO game may not be as hairbrained as I might have once thought. Also, all of your advice is essentially just the fundamentals of classical rhetoric. Nice.

[@narrationbycat4492]

I love this, and it gets me excited. I'm new to the VO space, but I'm also a brand message consultant (and a former copywriter). Focusing on the emotional impact of the message has always been the priority.

[@HeyLennyB]

Hi Narration by Cat. I appreciate the kind words. Let me know if I can help you with anything.

Lenny B professional, simple, contextual descriptives especially for novice, Dr. P. Delaney

[@monicaleon2601]

yes yes yes!

[@b-koz]

Thank you for this advice. I'm working on a voice over today for an unboxing series I'm starting and needed this. I've got a great script but delivering is not easy! I'm breaking it down section by section.

[@HeyLennyB]

Thanks for taking the time to write! I'm happy it's helping.

[@GoldenAgeNow]

Excellent video! Thank you so much for posting!

[@shaww8721]

Thank you. I’ve been trying to voice over a video essay I’ve been working on. That’s what I’ve been missing, the emotion and how to project it. Thanks. Now it will actually sound lively.

[@monicaleon2601]

"Theater of the mind" ;) reading James Alburger?

[@0shockadelica0]

Dude, man, brother,; thank you

[@VocalsbyDisha]

Thank you for the video :)

[@erinford4267]

Thank you! Now all I can taste is pepperoni. Jk. Seriously Thank You so much for this. I'm just starting out but this little bit of guidance helped to ground me as I record my demo reels.

[@HeyLennyB]

I'm glad you found it helpful. Are you going to be working from freelance sites? Where are you going to place your demos?

[@asianguy6174]

I’ve been dabbling in voice over on a part time basis for 20 years and still can’t consistently read more than 20 seconds without messing up or not giving it the right feel! Lol.

[@sirbaerias3456]

I use specific instrumental music to get in the emotion I want. Like upbeat music or sad music. I play the music while I record my voice.

[@Daubentonia88]

What would you say its a vivid narration? Got that description for a touring audio

[@HeyLennyB]

Hey Pablo, I'm not sure I understand. Can you explain further?

[@RegisBladeStudios]

Well, I definitely want Pizza now . Thanks for the tips!

[@rogervioletjr1693]

MMM...pepperoni
