We asked some of our top 100 voice talents to find out how they
get ready for a voice session. Here is what Ben B. says...
When I receive copy,
the first thing I do is read it to myself in silence. Then I read it at a whisper, followed by reading
it in a soft voice using my interpretation. Once I've completed these steps, I know I'm ready
to attack the copy/script at full force. Most of the work I do for Propulsion Media Labs is Retail
Automotive, and most of that is "hard sell". So, I give my best at full strength. I also need to check for words (ie..town names,
dealership names, etc.) that I'm not sure how to pronounce. If need be, I contact Pro Media and ask the
writer for assistance on those words. This prevents the producer from having to send the Voice Over back
to me for revisions.
Also, don't forget
that your routines are just as important...Like my cup of coffee or room
temperature water for my voice...occasionally some sweet tea (since I am from
the South).
More responses from other talents are coming soon!
