Nerves

At Voiceoversonthenet, we work hard to calm our Voice Actors’ nerves. Our studio and office convey a relaxed and casual atmosphere. Actors are free to wander, stretch, and warm-up, have a chat or even swim in our pool to relax before or during a session.

Not all studios are like ours. In fact, most recording facilities I visit are in corporate buildings with lots of glass, sharp edges, prim reception attendants and formal waiting areas – not the sort of place you can jump around shaking your arms and hands like a chicken while you stretch your face. At times like these you need some alternative techniques to help you through. I often use the trip to the studio to warm up. An old favourite is announcing signage, be it street signs or advertising billboards. If nothing else it makes for interesting viewing for the people travelling alongside.

Listening

You need to:

1.      Listen to the Direction

2.      Process and Understand what is being asked of you, and

3.      Deliver the Direction you are given.

You cannot successfully perform Steps 2 or 3 unless you have accomplished Step 1 first. Always listen!

Script Analysis

Another reason clients are reluctant to hand over their script prior to the session is, if you’ve been given your script in

advance, you won’t be a blank canvas for them to work with - they will have to work long and very hard to change

your mind set and performance if it’s not what they want.

In addition, particularly in Advertising, there are confidentiality issues to protect the campaign from being leaked.

Remember, recording studios charge by the hour and a Client will employ you again and again if you saved them studio time, and money.
