Part 6 of PML's: How does a Voice Talent Prepare for a Session?




We asked some of our top 100 voice talents to find out how they get ready for a voice session. Here is what Jim says…
“As a working voice talent, the best way to prepare for a voice session is to get my copy as early as possible. I just can’t stress enough how important it is to get copy early. It allows to me to study the copy, take some practice takes for timing and really understand what they are trying to convey to the listener. After 20 years doing this, you learn quick that this is not always the case and you do the best you can with the prep time given. Also, just before a session begins, I like to take about 3 minutes and just relax to work out some of the nerves that come with different sessions. Yup, still get a tiny bit of butterflies after all these years. Guess some things will never change.”
More responses from other talents are coming soon!
