Creating Variety By Changing Cadences in Voiceover Reads

Very often the direction one receives is, "Ok, give me three versions of that line".  It is very important to move the emphasis around when you're doing multiple takes. A lot of times people just try and vary the melody while they use the same cadence and that usually isn't enough. So try moving the emphasis.
i.e. "it is better to give than receive" "It is better to give than receive" "It is better to give than receive". Variations of cadence combined with slight shifts in the melody and where you breathe will give you endless combinations that will make any booth director your friend.

VoiceOver Recording Tips

A number of people have been asking why their recordings sound hollow. There seems to be an invasion of hollow recordings.

The general problem is that people are standing way too far from the microphone.
There is much better saturation if you stay about 8 to 10 inches from the mic.
This will give you a nice firm clean recording signal with much less room noise.

VoiceOver Success by Yourself

The most important element for voiceover career success is persistence. If you never take a voiceover lesson from anyone and record and playback your readings, you will be amazed at how much you will learn. Keep refining your reads until they sound natural and convincing to you.
