00:24:42 Feedback on John McKinney's Class
Conviction vs Enthusiasm - intention
There is never a neutral phase
Voice acting is a collaborative effort between the scriptwriter and voice actor
The announcer's voice is different from the actor/narrator's voice
Feelings have many layers, and you need to communicate that well
They liked the practical reads (advice in action)
Getting into the essence of the script (John likes to call it concepts) - before you get committed to a script and have conviction, you need to know what you are talking about - the big picture
To know about concepts, you need to be watching commercials. Knowing the essence of what a commercial is, lets you set up a good delivery even from the first line/get-go.
What is the spark/entertainment value the copywriter is proud of—that's where you want to make your connection
- 00:55:56 Learning about the process of producing audiobooks, not just voicing it
- 01:12:33 Using a CRM for a voice actor (Carrie uses Cloze, it's a paid CRM, but you can use Chrome CRM extensions for Gmail); one member recommended SpitFire CRM and also Find Leads Fast
- 01:21:49 Carrie shares her two cents on the question from 00:55:56
- 01:37:19 Book more e-learning course feedback for those that have been through it/joined, feedback for a marketing course for voice actors
- 02:00:00 Marketing yourself as a voice actor
Voice acting is a personal brand
You have to strike a balance between sharing yourself, your life, and your work
Jen’s sample website/channel marketing herself in a band before: https://ofbloodandbone.bandcamp.com/, https://www.youtube.com/@thisstellarmadness6574 - 02:11:38 SEO for voice actor websites
- 02:14:32 Voice actor website branding – revamping a brand (is it a good decision?), website auditing (example: https://samanthaboffin.co.uk/voiceover-coach/audit/)
- 02:36:00 When you get coaching, do you have a coach that can stay with you through the years or phases? (Like how a member noticed that you get voice coaching up until you get a demo, and then get another for other things)
Have any questions?
Feel free to ask anything voiceover-related and Carrie will try to answer it in the next Office Hours.
