Welcome to the page and keep guard of Hyrule Castle. You never know when some evil looking guy will take over the kingdom.

(Something technical went wrong quoting duffyweber -- I'm talking about what you said using different mics for different character voices) Oh, so THAT'S it! I'm sorry, I just thought people with a lot of mics were either collectaholics or needed to record other assorted people (to match the mics to) on a regular basis.
I think that over time, I'd be more of a collectaholic of mics...one of these days I'll go on a mic shopping spree lol.

I've always been a fan of the Blue Yeti for starting out since it sounds so much better the Snowball and a better investment. But I finally upgraded to a MXL 2008 and I'm so in love with it that I don't think I could ever go back to the Yeti. Once you get away from the Yeti, it's like breathing fresh air. (gathers in air) ahhhhhh, smells good!

I might add to Jono's and say in addition to professional VO on youtube, listen closely to commercials, adverts, and cartoons. They are COMPLETELY different kinds of performances. Close your eyes (or don't if the radio advert is on while you're driving!) and listen while picturing people behind the mic. Get a feel for what they're doing, and how they're delivering their lines. Is the delivery natural, or affected? What makes their delivery different from yours? Listen closely to their annunciation, breathing, and pacing. Then practice the same thing yourself. It'll be very instructive. One thing you'll find is that they annunciate more clearly than most people do in conversation. (And if you ever listen to VAs talk in real life, they've picked up the habit permanently - every word is usually clear an intelligible.) As much as I hate commercials and the fact that they are everywhere, closing my eyes and hearing the read helps out the most. Also to add, be sure to check out voice over workshops at cons. I can't tell you how much great info I get from these, even if it's one thing a year, I make sure to always learn something from others. I was in a 3 day workshop and I did a ton of things: sides, scene study and ADR the old fashioned way. It basically mimicked a real cattle call audition. And yes, I brought the green apples too lol.

I just go online to one of those word pronunciation sites and hear how it sounds, go back and practice the said word until I have it down, mess it up a few times, and then get it perfect.
I email the client to see if that is how it's pronounced. If not, I go back in and fix it for the client.

I know we talked a lot about mics on Skype before, but I'll throw this one out in the public eye. The Aston Origin is my new baby and I'm enjoying the holy poop outta it. Jono: I remember that! And it is one heckuva good mic. Glad you've been enjoying it! You'd just gotten it when last we talked. Good to know it's doing what you wanted. ^_^ It better be doing what's needed lol, otherwise it be a very expensive paperweight, not a good one at that.

Hey there VO peeps, Jono here and I have taken a look at the VAC again after lurking at this board for a looooong time. I am glad to see this site went over to the original productions side of voice over. I think I'll be checking up on here a lot more often now. Looking forward to working with peeps on this site!!

Practice, practice, practice.
Learn about the business and search on youtube for voice over videos made by professionals.
Go out there and audition regardless if you get cast or not, it's a lot of fun and you'll learn more as you go along with reading for different characters.
Did I mention practice?

A youtube comment I had and I was like "VAC went all original?" and I just took a look and was pleasantly surprised by the results of the new look and attitude on here. Finally, I can register on here after lurking for a few years xD
