So, I try to keep it out of my sound booth. That\u2019s what pushed me to get a Smart Watch. I wanted to be able to see if my agent was calling or texting without having to have my phone with me. The other reason I need a phone or watch is to time the voice over scripts. If the client has specified a time for the spot, I want to time myself doing the script for an idea of pacing.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text text_lead=&#8221;small&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;624092&#8243;]<span class=\"font-primary\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other than those two things, I make sure my microphone is set and everything is ready to record. For a booked job, I make sure to have the script pulled up and ready to be marked up or edited, if needed.

How would you explain what the script says in your own words? <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"font-primary\"><strong>Determine intention.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> What is the client\/brand\u2019s intention? What do they want the listener to learn, understand, and do? This gives you an even deeper glimpse into the <strong><em>why<\/em> <\/strong>of what you\u2019re saying. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"font-primary\"><strong>Who are you talking to?<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Connection is key in doing voice overs. Whether it\u2019s someone watching an e-learning video or sitting through a commercial on YouTube, you want them to feel like you&#8217;re talking directly to them. <strong><em>How do you do that? <\/em><\/strong>By choosing someone <\/span><strong>you know &#8211;<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to talk to when communicating the script. This needs to be someone you have a close relationship with. Someone you can talk to about anything. Who can you immediately imagine standing in front of you? Who can you be yourself around? <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"font-primary\"><strong>Look at the details.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Did the client specify a specific tone? What is the type of spot (commercial, industrial, e-learning)? What is the allotted time? Use those as a guide but remember it\u2019s only your journey.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"font-primary\"><strong>Find the layers.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Are there parts of the script that call for more empathy, humor, a wink, a hint of sarcasm, emphasis, or teasing? This is what sets voice actors apart. Just make sure what you do still aligns with the overall intention of the script. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"font-primary\"><strong>Prepare 2 strong takes.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As you progress in your voice over career, you\u2019ll be able to do this faster and more confidently. You want two takes or recordings that not only show your range but the potential range of the project. For instance, if the script is for sparkling water and they ask for a friendly read, you may want to do one that is more commercial (that friendly, upbeat, bright read) and one that is more natural and real (still friendly). <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"font-primary\"><strong>Record and Edit.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Now that the prep work is done, record your reads and edit.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;30&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;7&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; back_color=&#8221;color-faded-sky&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;4&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;201477&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text_weight=&#8221;900&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;200607&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Super helpful, Heidi!

Think Like a Gardener.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Especially at the beginning, your goal should be to plant as many seeds as possible and nurture those. What I mean by that is do the training, connect with potential clients and create a good business foundation. Like a gardener, you will have times when things sprout and times when things lay fallow, but you will ultimately reap a harvest if you do the work.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-primary\"><strong>2. Diversify.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When you start out, diversify the areas and genres of voiceover you pursue. It\u2019s helpful to have various streams of income and skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text text_lead=&#8221;small&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;918824&#8243;]<span class=\"font-primary\"><strong>3. Create Mental Support.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Part of my story is that it took me <em><strong>four years<\/strong><\/em> to book my first job with my agent. Four years of consistent auditioning before seeing anything payoff. It\u2019s been over a decade since that first booking and my career has grown every year since, but there still are ups and downs. That does a lot to your mind. One of the hardest parts of having a sustainable voiceover career is mental fortitude. Go to a great therapist, surround yourself with supportive friends, and create healthy habits. These things will have a huge impact on the success and length of your career.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;95760&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;89&#8243; media_ratio=&#8221;three-four&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;185419&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text text_lead=&#8221;small&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;520648&#8243;]<span class=\"font-primary\"><strong>4. Know Yourself.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> While diversifying is great, you also should constantly be discovering the things you can do really well. Learn more about your voice, your perspective, and your skill. In a sense, voice acting is a product, and you can\u2019t sell a product you don\u2019t know.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-primary\"><strong>5. Watch what you want.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> What I mean by this is always watch and listen to things you want to book. It helps you to understand the trends, the content, and how your voice can fit.<\/span><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_weight=&#8221;900&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;748731&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Those are really amazing pointers!
