A Guide For Voice Artists On Voice Over Training

wakeairc — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 01:17:54 +0000

A voice actor essentially works harder than a Hollywood superstar. It is quite tough for a voice actor to put feelings and emotions to what he is reading, all the while knowing that he’s not seen on screen. He must get into the skin of the character and pump life into the dialogues. It is in this realm where voice over training is necessary.

Voice over artists are able to master the craft of voice acting and find good employment in this field by undergoing voice over training. There are 1000s of cartoon and animated TV shows, web shows, TV/radio advertisements, web videos, and movies being made continually. Take note that about 20 to 30 characters make up the cast of a single movie or TV show. There are global opportunities galore for a voice actor.

Voice over training course – the basic skills that you ought to have

One of the most important tools of the trade is diction. The student must have perfect enunciation and therefore must attend speech classes to get his diction right. A voice talent would always have two roles to perform – the “acting,” and the “lending voice.” This means that getting a perfect diction is not enough to be able to join a voice over training, enrolling in an acting course is also necessary for the student.

What does a voiceover training program teach?

The student learns how to evaluate and interpret commercial copy for announcer and real-person roles. He also comes to understand how to interpret narrative copy and gets the hang of technical copy as well. The course teaches the student how to proficiently coordinate mind, mouth and voice so that he can sound true to his character. Taking direction is also mastered by the student.

A great voice actor training program makes students read, record, play back, listen, and then do it repeatedly until they get it right. Students warm-up and perform vocal exercises and learn strategies like timing, inflection, and articulation. They figure out how to maintain their voice health. Half-way into the voice over training course, students become proficient at using and adjusting tone, pitch, delivery speed and volume for a selection of jobs.

After the main training is over, students learn how to promote their skills, tap the appropriate contacts, and get voice over work. Instructors of the voice over program also help them in creating a voice over demo, which would become part of their portfolio. An opportunity to experience working in a real studio is offered in a solid voice over training course for students. They also learn what the do’s and don’ts are whenever they are behind the microphone or in a sound booth.

Selecting a voice over training course

There are two aspects to voice training. A commercial voice over course must be chosen by students who are interested in selling. Commercial voice overs are employed for selling. TV advertisements, radio ads, phone and other media feature these voice overs. The voice over course also addresses selling skills because all commercial voice overs sell a product or a service. This course does not include acting skills. If a student is interested in showbiz, then he should opt for dubbing and a movie or TV voice over course. Lip-synching is needed by such courses, hence, the voice over talent also needs to master acting skills.

To conclude, all the world’s a stage and we must play a part. So, if you wish to play your part as a voice actor, enroll for a well-known voice actor training course and learn how to raise your voice.

Top 10 Facts about Wakeboard

Wakeboarding is a surface water sporting activity that was brought in in the late 1980s. It has come forth after the coming of ski boarding, and that is now widely regarded as snowboarding. The sport entails riding a wakeboard and making it possible for it to run over the surface of water at top speed. This sport is extreme and it requires talent, skill, and ability so as to excel. If you are a novice and want to learn and become an expert in the sport, it is essential that you are aware of everything that covers it – from its origins to the basic techniques of wakeboarding. Here are top ten facts that you should know about the sport…

1. Wakeboarding was initially unveiled in the 1980s. Actually, it had many name versions including “skurfing” from Scotland, “skurf board” in Queensland Australia, and then the names SSS, “Wake-snake”, and “surf ski” from the US.

The name “wakeboarding” was created by Paul Frasser. He is also the one that introduced the concept and design along with his brother Murray and a Pro snowboarder.

3. The World Skiboard Association was established in 1989 and it was in Island of Kauai, Hawaii that the first World Skiboard Championships occurred.

4. Wakeboarding game began emerging in the early 1990s until it was added as a competitive sport in X Games II. Eventually, the World Skiboard Association was re-named to now the World Wakeboard Association (WWA).

5. Wakeboarding was arranged by the International Waterski and Wakeboard Federation (IWWF)and was officially made part of the World Games in 2005.

6. Wakeboarding was derived from the mix of snowboarding, surfing, and water skiing routines.

7. Wakeboarders are towed behind motorboats at high rates of about 17-24 miles sper hour. But this is dependent upon the water condition, rider’s weight, size of the board, and the rider’s comfort speed.

8. Wakeboards are normally created to be buoyant and are usually made of honeycomb, foam, blended with resin and coated with fibreglass. Bindings are hooked up thru metal screws. The setup and positioning of fins and bindings are adjustable could differ depending on the rider’s liking.

9. The wakeboarder is frequently towed by a motorboat. But he can also be towed by other means such as closed-course cables, PWCs, trucks or cars, winches and ATVs.

10. The best way to move or cut outside the wake, the rider employs edging techniques. Jumps are carried out by hitting the wake and launching the board into the air. Being able to ride the wakeboard is a challenge. Using edging techniques, riders are able to ride or cut the wake without falling or submerging into the waters.

This information only demonstrate the rich evolution of wakeboarding sport. With the merged efforts and pursuits of wakeboard enthusiasts, they are able to form and show a surface water sport that has captured the interest of many who want a new taste of invigorating water sport experience. For everybody who is actively participating in any kind of extreme sports but hasn’t tried wakeboarding yet, the best way forward is to try it! It is a laudable sport that hones discipline, determination, dedication, and drive.
