Practicing Voice-Over on Your Own

I can’t afford acting classes, so I’ve been watching YouTube video to try and learn on my own

I have been listening and studying on how professional voice actors do it for quite some time lately. And I gotta say, it’s been very helpful for me.

isn't it cool that something you recorded 3 years ago, is still relevant? I'm a pro VO, and I just listened to this because I was looking for IVR examples, and a YouTube search brought this lesson 14 up as an examples. and while it's not, it's a great lesson, and you are so patient and giving as a teacher. Great JOB!

I really liked the "checklist" of questions for when you're listening to other recordings!

I have been preparing to start a career in VO and have my studio equipment ready and now I’m working on my quiet place :) I have been practicing and this video is SO helpful!! Thank you! I subscribed and look forward to your other videos :)

Man this is like the third video that I've watched from your channel over the last 7 to 10 days. I have to say I really like the information that you're sharing it flies in the face of the advice that all the professionals in the industry are currently giving that being do not make a DIY demo you must hire a vo coach etc etc. I'm an American expat living in a third world country and I can't afford to pay someone $600 Brazilian reais (roughly $125 US) per hour for coaching just starting out. I have mouths to feed and that kind of money would put us all on beggars row. So thank you thank you thank you for your videos I especially enjoyed this one because as I do practice on my own I often feel like I'm spinning my wheels and going nowhere, at least with this video I will have some bases for analysis.

I found myself Listening to this video before you gave the prompt...your enunciation was a revelation. Thank you...

In my case I just met someone randomly and asked her to coach me. In addition to being talented with languages, she has an exceptional ear. Also while being "very insightful and encouraging," she sees my potential for voice acting excellence, and requires this excellence And so from the intensive online research I've done, I taught her how to evaluate and coach me to improve. Our ultimate test seems to be "Was it simply a good believable performance, or did my acting connect so compellingly as to cause goosebumps?" The recorded samples produced using this appraxh has impressed industry professionals, and I'm about to record my first professional demo So maybe just as some potential voice talent have a natural gift, so may some potential voice acting coaches. However, I think both must be willing to trust each other, and help each other to grow

Another great video by Jason!

Useful pointers and tips, thanks.

Oh! This is so helpful! Thank you :) I've done full training and I'm auditioning, just started so I've been trying to figure out how to improve. This is great :)

thank you, I am also getting started and can use any information to get started right. I am currently studying and shopping for a different mic and it's been a good learning experience.

I am fascinated by voice over artists

Wow, what a fantastic and insightful video, this just put me on the right track! Thank you!
