Part 3 of PML’s: How does a Voice Talent Prepare for a Session?

# 74- Johnny G.


We asked some of our top 100 voice talents to find out how they get ready for a voice session. Here is what Johnny says…


“My prep for a session is simple:

· Get a good night’s sleep the night before.

· Clean glasses.

· No milk products with 1 hour before a session.

· Drink plenty of water!

· Tongue twisters to loosen up my mouth. I use two main ones and go back & forth between them.

· Vibrate lips as much as you can without making them fall off.

· Review your original audition MP3 if possible to see why you were selected.

· If a script has a lot of difficult pronunciations or ones that need extra help – practice script with a pencil between my teeth. Causes you to enunciate better.

· Give your undivided attention to the client and their time.

· Do your best. Remember you are not Superman. Be positive and don’t try and yak too much with client or producer.”


More responses from other talents are coming soon!
