As a voice actor, you might have heard coaches ask you, “Who’re you speaking to within the copy?”
So, you select a detailed good friend – and it really works within the first few moments however drifts away.
What if I advised you that there’s another person to speak to – who’s so apparent that almost all industrial voice actors miss it – YOURSELF. Quite than imagining you’re talking to a “finest good friend” throughout your copy learn – TALK TO YOURSELF.
Do that: Learn this copy externally as if you’re speaking to another person who’s throughout the desk from you.
“ISN’T THERE A BETTER WAY TO FIND HEALTH INSURANCE?”
Now learn the identical line – decrease your quantity – deliver up the depth – and go inside your head and ask your self this query – TALK TO YOURSELF.
“Isn’t there a greater solution to discover medical insurance?”
Doesn’t that really feel very totally different? By internalizing your textual content – decreasing the amount and growing the intensity- you permit the listener to do the identical. Belief the intimacy and use mic approach to let the mic deal with the amount.
So, be happy to converse with your self throughout your industrial copy reads. Having an inner dialog with your self – giving your self recommendation, asking a query, or internalizing a reminiscence -connects you to your self, the copy, AND THE LISTENER, who will do the identical factor.
All voice performing should commute between inner and exterior energies. How did studying with inner power really feel to you? Is that this one thing you utilize usually?
