Is It Better To Keep It Simple?

July 21st, 2008 Posted in General Info, Voice Over Instruction

In this world of too much information too much of the time, maybe it’s better to simplify, especially with voice over. I mean the whole idea is to be authentic, believable and appealing to the listener and one way to get there is to stop over thinking. That’s one of the VO techniques teacher Bill Holmes (The Voice Over Doctor) uses to help voice talent create successful careers.

In tomorrow’s (Tuesday July 22nd) Voice Registry podcast, The Voice Over Doctor part 2, teacher Bill Holmes continues to help “Student/Patient” Bill Miltenberger deliver the Federal Express copy in a natural way. The doc says, many voice actors simply try too hard. “In voice over you don’t have to work that hard!”

Check out our NEW Voice Registry series, The Voice Over Doctor (part 1), where Bill Holmes, does one on one sessions with voice over actors using his techniques to help you get the job.
