Part 2 of PML’s: How does a Voice Talent Prepare for a Session?

#93- Donovan C.


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


“For preparation, all I really do is get a bottle of water ready and make sure all of my equipment is functioning properly, especially my ISDN line, if needed. If the session requires a specific sound or read (outside of my normal speaking voice,) then I go back and listen to the audition I submitted to book the job. That way, I can practice and make sure I can recall that sound when the session begins. Of course, I will also go over the script again, so that I won't be reading it for the first time when the client is on the line. I never want to over-think the script or character, so outside of those things, I remind myself to just keep it cool ... and have fun.”


More responses from other talents are coming soon!
