Time for an Upgrade! But Which One? 🤯

After eight years, it’s finally time for my trusty old computer to retire. Right now, just starting it up takes me almost half an hour! 😅

The problem is… there are SO many options! What’s the best choice?! I’ve always been an Apple girl 🫣, so that’s my preference, but I’m open to anything!

I’m curious: What does your VO setup look like? Do you go for Apple or Windows? And why did you choose it?

If you can help me out, I’d be super grateful! Let’s talk about it! 👇🏼

✨Dreams can come true✨

My dream came true when I decided to pursue a career as a voice actor. As a child, I was always fascinated by the voices in the cartoons and series I watched. It quickly became a challenge for me to distinguish and recognize different voices. I insisted on watching all movies in Dutch so I could identify the voices.

It wasn’t until I was about 16 that I realized this was an actual profession, and that people did this for a living. I knew I had to do something with this! But, at 16 or 17, I was very insecure, which held me back. Back then, I sent an email to a voice actress I admire, and she replied with a message that has stayed with me ever since as motivation. This became my dream. I earned my diploma and then went on to take an intro workshop in voice acting at .nl. It was so much fun and incredibly educational! So I took more workshops and training. And once I received my demos, I decided to go for it 💪🏼

It’s hard work, and I still have a lot to learn. That’s why I attend workshops and training sessions. I love discovering my own growth, and it leaves me wanting more.

I’ve been doing this work for a few years now, and I’m so glad I took the leap. This is a profession I can see myself doing for the rest of my life. It allows me to express my creativity and learn something new every day through the different texts I get to bring to life. There are still many goals on my list, and I’m excited to pursue them!

If you have doubts about following your dream, go for it!🤩

🎙️ Ever recorded in a room that ruined your audio? 🙈 Here’s why your recording space really matters!  
I got a huge reminder again of how incredibly important the room where you record in is.

I’ve been recording our podcast with at her place, her living room, to be exact. And we even took down the (very!) loud clock 😜 and put some extra blankets around us. But when I got back home and listened to the audio in my own studio, I could hear how bad the background noises and room tone still were. It was so frustrating!

So, we had two options:
1. Accept this bad audio
2. Re-record it in a better place

Well, for us, that was a no-brainer. Especially with my background as a voice-over artist, I couldn’t send this quality out into the world 😅
We decided to re-record in a different setting, and now it sounds much better. But it did make me appreciate my own little booth even more 😌

Here are five tips to consider if you have to record in a room other than your trusted booth: ⭐ Minimize reflections. Take care of hard surfaces like walls and windows. Use blankets, rugs, and thick curtains. ⭐ Test the room first. Clap a few times and try to hear where the sound reflections are the strongest, then focus on those areas. (I actually watched Edo Peters do this while he was treating my booth, SO cool!) ⭐ Use something soft beneath your microphone. This could be a thick rug, mat, or blanket. It will reduce sound bouncing off hard surfaces. ⭐ Limit noise sources. In our case, this was the really loud clock. But this also includes computers, washing machines, and air conditioners. ⭐ Use headphones while you are recording. This way, you can hear unwanted sounds, pops, or room reverbs as they happen.

Ideally, if it’s work-related, I’d ask my client if it would be okay to record when I am back in my own studio. 😅 Most of the time, this is no problem.

What was the worst place you had to record in? And what did you do to fix your space?

I had such a fun live session! 🤩

I still find them a bit nerve-wracking sometimes, even though live sessions are part of the job. But the session I had today was amazing! It was fun and creative. And that’s very important in our job! 😄

Here’s what really helps me right before a live session:
* You’re here for a reason; the client chose you and is happy to work with you.
* Know that clients enjoy listening in just as much as you do working on it.
* Prepare yourself as best as you can for the project. Make sure everything is set up properly.
* Stay hydrated! Keep water nearby during the recordings.

What do you do when nerves tend to take over? 😬

Is this Monday really so “blue”?

I believe you play a big part in creating your own happiness. Of course, there are always circumstances you can’t foresee. But if I wake up in the morning thinking, “Today is going to be a great day,” my day starts completely differently than if I wake up thinking, “What a lousy day.”

So if I do start the day feeling lousy, I try to refocus on what I want to achieve. Working on my personal brand or fun projects gets me excited! Starting the day with good intentions automatically makes me more driven to get things done. Making a plan for the day the night before also helps.

Blue Monday is supposed to be the day when our “good intentions” start to fade. But isn’t that mindset exactly what brings us down?

I think it’s all about a shift in perspective, and I’m in control of that.

That said, every once in a while, when I do have one of those lousy days, I just give in… And that’s okay too! And boy, I make sure I enjoy that lousy day. I do nothing or just whatever makes me happy at that moment. These days, we pressure ourselves to always be productive, to always strive for more. While that’s a great mindset, it can also be very draining, and burnout could be just around the corner.

So, what are you up to this Blue Monday?
Did you start it with good intentions? ✨
Or are you embracing your lousy day? 🛋️💙

✨I believe your message deserves the best! 🎙️
That’s why I’m sharing why hiring a real voice actor is so much better than using an AI voice. From authenticity to emotional connection, a human voice brings your story to life in a way AI simply can’t. Let’s talk about the power of real. 💬✨”

Adinda Bruining ★ Voice-over ★ Studio

Ik heb voor meerdere bedrijven leuke dingen mogen inspreken. Van commercials, tot web video’s en van games tot tekenseries. De passie die ik heb voor dit werk is terug te horen in wat ik aanlever, namelijk goede kwaliteit. Met een jonge, frisse, vrolijke en vrouwelijke stem kan ik vanuit mijn thuisstudio lekker aan de slag. Huur mij in voor TV- commercials en radiocampagnes, bedrijfsfilms, webvideo’s en animaties, apps, e-learnings en voice-responses.

Ik kan leveren binnen 24 en hou ervan om even een direct contact te hebben met een klant. Even een mailtje of telefoontje om alles even goed te bespreken.

Natuurlijk is ieder project anders, en vraagt dat om een ander geluid. Mijn stem is professioneel en helder, en daarmee kan ik elk project een andere draai of geluid geven.
