Learn the skills of performing for Voice-Over
Have you ever considered the possibility of using your voice to make a living, If you have? "The Art of Voice-Acting" is a good place to begin learning the craft.
The job of a voice-over performer requires training -- development of skills in acting and communication. In "The Art of Voice-Acting," you will receive the tools and training you need to get started, as well as real-world scripts and tips from many talented professional voice-actors. You will find tips, tricks of the trade, techniques and exercises in this book that are not available from any other book on the subject.
For more than 30 years I have worked on both sides of the glass as a voice-actor, producer, director and engineer. I have directed some of the top voice-over talent in the country, worked with live action performers and trained a number of audio operators, voice-actors and other performers. Along the way I have received 9 regional Emmy awards. An effective performance depends on an emotional connection between the performer and the audience. "The Art of Voice-Acting" teaches you how to achieve that kind of performance as a voice-actor.
The building blocks of a voice-over performance are: 1) understanding who the audience is, 2) knowing who you are as the speaker (your character), and 3) knowing why you are speaking those words at this time (your motivation and qualifications as the expert). These three things create the foundation upon which a performance is built. Character development, script interpretation, attitude and many other aspects of a performance are then woven together to create a believable and effective communication. Voice-over is much more than reading words off a page. Voice-over is really an aspect of acting, with all the techniques, subtleties and more.
"The Art of Voice-Acting" will take you on a journey through the world of voice-over and you will learn what it takes to become successful in this challenging and very enjoyable business. I promise that after reading "The Art of Voice-Acting" you will never listen to a radio or television commercial the same way again.
Good luck.
