Real Voice L.A.

“We [voiceover artists] all need to live comfortably in the subtleties of human speech.” - Donovan Corneetz I chose to take this class as I've felt (prior to today) that #Promo was my underdeveloped #VO muscle. While I have much more to learn, I no longer feel behind-the-8-ball in this genre. I am grateful to Real Voice L.A. for having Donovan Corneetz , widely recommended by numerous of my trusted colleagues, to work with us. Donovan, THANK YOU for the most comprehensive and clear approach to Promo I've yet received in my journey as a #voiceoverartist. I'm most grateful. Tom's Takeaways (quotes are Donovan's): • "You don't 'sell' the TV show [per se]. It's more about selling an emotion or experience the show will provide." • "When you focus on what you will sound like, you're already focusing on the wrong thing." • Know the sonic #branding of the various networks (this can and should be researched). • It's inexcusable to mispronounce words. • "[in promos] you're the seasoning not the steak. The story and the script are the star." • "When you see antonyms [in the copy] close to each other, play them off of each other." • Value intensity and importance over volume and pitch for conveying emphasis. • [on how to know what to emphasize] "Any word or phrase in the script that helped you tie into to [your unique take] that's what to emphasize. Additionally: the show name, the network name, any people -- those are emphasized." Reach out to Donovan for Promo Coaching -- he will share his tried-and-true method for approaching promo copy as he did with us today. Thank you, Donovan! - - #voiceover #voiceoverlife #thickskincreations Tom Antonellis #voiceoverartist , #dialectcoach , #branding and messaging consultant for #VO talent | #podcast co-host of Back Through The Basement | Rep - The Library Agency

Had a blast in the Voiceover for Video Games workshop with Real Voice L.A. taught by Michael Orenstein. Today, I was a brilliant cyberneticist who fell in love with her A.I. It's so fun being people I'm not and putting myself in situations I would never be in. We got to exercise all sorts of efforts: getting punched, running, even getting set on fire. Good thing my neighbors didn't call the cops. 😝 It's wonderful meeting and learning alongside other VO actors as well!

One of the main differences being a voiceover actor 🎤versus an on-camera/stage actor🎭 is that you have the advantage and disadvantage that you’re not being seen.⠀ ⠀ As a traditional actor, as in our “real life roles” our nonverbal communication including our body language and tone account for over ninety percent of what we’re trying to “say as opposed to just the words.⠀ ⠀ ☝️With voiceover acting, we must use our body language 💃🕺to inform and channel our intentions, but it must all come THROUGH the 🗣️ voice. And especially when we’re Giving Great Voice to our animated roles we must “move” our bodies when acting so that the animation artists can close their eyes and start imagining us as the characters they’ve envisioned.⠀ ⠀ My next Animation #VO class with Real Voice L.A. has one spot left and plenty of audit spots if you want to watch an learn. If you would like to work with me privately to help you #givegreatvoice please 📩 message me or email me at [email protected].
