WHY DID MORGAN FREEMAN WIN THE VOICEOVER AUDITION?

www.danoday.com... 10 voice actors get an audition callback. Only one books the voice acting job. Why do some performers win more voice over auditions? Richard Horvitz explains in this live voice over workshop presented at the International Radio Creative & Production Summit (danoday.com/sum..., which is attended by voice actors, radio producers, radio production people, creative directors and radio commercial copywriters from around the world.

Anyone else feels like having a water?

Man that is so true. People can try and try so hard to force the emotion into their voices, thinking that if they sound it all out correctly - or have the right conviction (right? :P) - that they will make people believe in what they are saying - But... if you don't really believe in what you're saying - or "play pretend" like Richard says - then you'll still sound scripted no matter how many times you try. And if you really don't believe in what you're saying - no one else will, completely.

The "producers are telepathic" school of advice.

Hey! I want that water! How was that? lol

[@Skylord52]

Morgan Freeman got it because HE'S GOD

[@mikelthehook9884]

Did he want it so he could make wine?

[@junipersages]

Anyone who really believes that actors are chosen based off of talent alone is nuts--Morgan Freeman gets jobs because he is Morgan Freeman. The rest of the advice wasn't bad however.

[@fraddi]

This guys sounds like the guy from Red Letter Media!!

[@amateurwave3593]

Rich Evans? 🤔

[@THEKaitlynjanetm]

AND ZIM! XD

[@dvnobles]

I still think it was because he's Morgan Freeman...hehe.

[@mileslogowilliams]

Morgan Freeman gets the job because he's Morgan Freeman. But maybe back in the day this would be a good point
