Voiceover BTS
Added 2021-04-05 22:40:17 +0000 UTCHello!!! Happy April everyone! It's officially been one year since I've had a Patreon (I should probably do a shoot to celebrate). Sorry for the posting delay this month... was wrapping up some stuff at work. Anyway, I'm giving you a double header of professional content tonight, and will have a new sexy set up tomorrow (if that's more of your thing).
This was a voiceover audition for Oatly (the oat milk), which was honestly a bit extreme. They wanted EACH line read 3x back to back, then the whole script all the way through twice. I recorded this in my closet (because the clothes muffle the sound so it doesn't reverb throughout the whole apartment), and it probably took me over an hour because then I went back through and edited out the bad takes and any breaths in between the lines to make it sound super polished.
The verdict is still out as to whether or not I booked this one because it was due Friday.... so fingers crossed. Just for more behind-the-scenes context, this job pays $2,000 and then I'd have to pay my agent 10% of that.
Let me know if you have questions about VO work in the comments!

I would think this is very difficult , I would have a hard time doing that type on reading

2021-04-06 01:51:09 +0000 UTCDo you find yourself getting random lines stuck in your head after doing these? I might have "Tony's mother disagrees" stuck in mine for a little while :). Good luck!

2021-04-05 23:34:06 +0000 UTCI think voice-over work would be cool! How did you get started doing that? Is there like a job board just for voice-over work? Do they tell you to do different inflections each repeat? And direction at all? Like sound happy, be all business like, etc? I can not tell you are in a closet at all. :)
