The
Voice Over Talent by Don Capone.
The voice over industry has changed because of the internet. Many
advertising agencies and production houses directly rely on the internet to
find new voice over talent. The internet has made it possible for voiceover
artists to record voice narrations in their home studios either via live
ISDN voice , direct email, download or FTP.
Voice Over Talents are the men, women and children who perform in a
voice talent studio either in there home or a state of the art recording
studio. These voice over talents in their home voice studios usually take
direction from a director who will call through a dedicated ISDN voice
talent phone line. Most Hollywood voice over studios request an ISDN direct
voice or phone patch. So if your serious about becoming a voice over talent
you need to get a ISDN or phone patch line like a Telos Zephyr.
Voiceovers can be formatted for .wav, .mp3 or .aiff. and sent thru
FTP download, burned on a cd then sent FedX, or emailed.
Voice Overs come in many different delivers.. Like the Hard sell
aggressive voice overs usually your local car commercials are hard hitting
and fast paced. The Soft sell more sincere and smooth. Then we also have the
Regular Guy voice over or the Guy Next Door voice, like friendly and
approachable sell. Voice Overs are delivered by the voice over talent
through ISDN to the voice over production studio.
Voice Narration refers to the way a story is told. First Person Voice
Narration focalizes through the perspective of a single character. Third
First Person Voice Narration is from the observation perspective.
Documentary voice narration is not an easy task for the voice over talent.
You must reflect mood and fact and your vocal delivery must set a pace and
have authority. You must be believable and not sound like your reading a
script.. It must flow out of you when speaking. This is one of the most
difficult voiceover deliveries to achieve.
