Great stuff, Bill! I really appreciate that you went through the script to demonstrate this. The other thing you did but didn't specifically mention was use your body. Your hands were moving with the flow of the script and you had facial expressions that matched. Physical movement can really help when interpreting a script. I think it's part of the acting in "voice acting" Great advice here. Keep up the great work!

@thegettig lol! Yes, good observation. It's funny because (like much of what we do) I wasn't even thinking about it as I do it but you make a good point which is that using your body (facial expressions, hand movements, etc.) can really help you with the read. Recording voice overs is much more aerobic than most people think :-) Thanks for the comment and insight!

Single best advice I've heard. I went into VO wanting to be 'the announcer'. This changes things. Thanks! Looking forward to getting coaching/demo someday soon.

Bill,

Fantastic example. Thanks so much for sharing that. Question: do you spend time analyzing each script / audition the way you described or is it more a natural result of your years of experience and training?
