Hi Guys, I'm beginning to test a few demo pieces and wanted to get some feedback. Earl said that the first clip in your samples should be a strong one, with a little punch. The next one softer, then softer and back up. I had an idea for this one as my first heavy hitter but I'm curious if it's way too much. First off, I know it's longer than 10 seconds, but give it a listen and tell me if it's strong enough or am I completely missing the goal by not using my normal speaking voice. At any rate, I'd be interested in other thoughts.

Just got in my new hat today. I love this red. Many colors available 🤩 T-shirts, mugs, and more Get yours here! https://earl-hall-studio.myspreadshop.com/all

Hi GADQ family happy Monday, looking for some free money to build your VO career, here are the Grant's that I was referring to I found this info on Instagram, hope you find it useful.🎛🎧🎤⚙ https://www.instagram.com/reel/CpQhF7YAv0b/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=

What did you read today? No! Not just about voice over. But for your personal growth? Me? I started reading: The obstacle is the way by Ryan Holiday. What did you listen to today? Did you find the answer to a problem today? I watched a video on “why you hate the sound of your voice.” Followed by Bill DeWees “3 tips on making your voice sound better.” And Earl Hall’s, “How to read a script.” And did you practice using your DAW? Remember if you aren’t working on you. The person who gets that job you wanted so bad. Might have work on themselves.

Sound test coming soon 🚀

Creating a good #voiceover demo is a challenge for many #voiceoverartist. A decade ago most #voiceactor would have never even attempted it. We were told to go and pay a “real professional” to get it done. A decade ago you would have spent upwards of $5K to get a 60-second commercial voice-over demo. I have said since the beginning of my career that 2 things would happen and people literally laughed at me. Now it has all come true. What I said over a decade ago was… The home studio would become huge and king Every voiceover artists needs to become something of an audio engineer Now when it comes to your demo. I want you to think about this. If a “professional demo maker” makes your demo and you put it out to the world then you are saying that you can produce that same exact sound. Could you? If you are just getting into voice over then you want to make sure that the demo that you put out there is completely reflective of what you can produce. Now, this process of demo creation is simple but not easy. But I am firm on my stance that you should be able to produce your own commercial voice-over demo. You can learn to do this and I will show you how. What we will do is… 🚀 Come up with an original script written just for you 🚀 5-8 scripts that can show your range and talent 🚀 I will help you do your professional read so that it is spot on 🚀 Together we will edit and master that demo All of this will be recorded just for you on video using your DAW so that you can always refer to it to create great audio every time. I truly want you to get over this hump of creating your demo and lose the fear of it now sounding right. The total process of us working together to… 🚀 Come up with an original script written just for you 🚀 5-8 scripts that can show your range and talent 🚀 I will help you do your professional read so that it is spot on 🚀 Together we will edit and master that demo All of this will be recorded just for you on video using your DAW so that you can always refer to it to create great audio every time.

Did some research last night to find my old studio in my basement 😀

In Upwork: What does it mean when the buyer makes this request - "Must provide me with the copyrights to your audio as well."

Test 3 was where I was try to read it just like everyone. Boring (To me) That's why it's so short, I just wasn't feeling it. But once I got that out of my head. I went for me. I can hear where I need to work on my pronunciation. And what I call lazy talk. Kind of like not fully sound out the word on some words. But I like were Colored River was going. I was looking for a feel of putting the subject on trail and letting the reader of the book by the judge.

For a voice actor, the interval time is everything! That is...whatever you can do to set up your audio correctly on the front end, will definitely save you time on the back end. For example: In the process of taking more time than usual to process my audio for auditions, I discovered my compression settings were way off. Not sure how that happened! I thought my settings were saved. This was going on for months! It's just a reminder that as a voice actor, you can't necessarily set it and forget it regarding your audio. More time saved means more time for auditions. Or eating seafood boil! Thanks Michael!

I have a small business of my own where I do a lot of videography for weddings and other events. I have bought everything from voiceover work to logos on Fiverr. Those that use Fiverr when someone messages you about a job and you make them a custom offer. Would you then message then 2 minutes later with another offer for needing more money. I am trying to figure out if this is normal on Fiverr. This makes me feel that it’s almost scam like. I offer you let’s say 20 bucks to get you in the door and then do the bait and switch to get more out of you. Any thoughts on this?

Back in the day (Mid 70’s), We went to see a new little known movie called Friday the thirteenth. We watched and laughed all the way through it mainly because it was set in Ill. And the road Jason was traveling was coming right to Peoria where we were. Plus they showed things that were a scream (very funny) to us. Like they showed the law was looking for him still in Ill. But it was obviously a desert. None in Illinois. But fast forward to today. Friday the thirteenth is still around. And poor Jammy lee is still fighting him. The moral is, keep at it and maybe you’ll one day find yourself some thirty years later a big hit too. And just think Jammy lee just won her first Oscar after some thirty years.

Yesterday I received and email from a client whom I had sent a audition to. The platform shows if they listened ( which they did) and if they like they can shortlist you ( which on the platform they DID NOT). After the cordial greetings they mentioned that they had selected me as 1 of the 5 finalist for the job ( electric truck manufacturers). Their question was that they were pressed to meet deadline and if I was selected for the job would I be able to provide a turnaround by the end ( end of day) this was at 3pm est and their end was 7pm est. My response was ABSOLUTELY ( yes actual response all caps) . At 4 pm o recieced a response that they were going in another direction, but the representative stated that I was his choice. Would I mind if they added me to there personal list of vo artists as to avoid the hassles of searching ? Again I responded yes and thanked them for just being considered Your customer service , wether you do or don't get that job can determine your jobs in the future , and establish your reputation Just my 2 cents

#Live AMA Zoom Session 02.11.23 All the tools U need to get started that's for sure...

Forgot to post a photo of my set up.....Duh! So here it is. Like I say she may not be the prom queen but for now she gets the job done. And yes I stand up. When I started They started us standing up. the thinking was the you get a better range from you voice. Just in case your wondering there's a folded thick towel under it and two thick towels over it and behind it. My thinking was create an area that stops as much sound as passable. There is my Kindle standing up where I copy what I need to read. My lap top in open three drawers down. so the fan doesn't interfere with the sound. And the mic is set near the side and slightly sideways. so I have to talk toward the side and back of the box. you can see my headphones on top of the box, so I don't have to look all over when I start to lesion to my recording. the test3 recording I hit it with ns1 wave. Amp. Eq, presets total time 20 minutes. This was because I set and saved my presets. I want to get my time down on editing my work. preset are the way to go.

#How To Set Up Your Recording Space Since creating a good recording space is so important I have been looking into it. I thought I would share some useful websites and information with everyone. How to build your own vocal booth : https://www.musicianonamission.com/diy-vocal-booth/ Useful information regarding making Vocal Booths : https://www.youtube.com/@Vocalboothtogo I have been told that Packing Blankets can be used. I haven’t tried this yet. Here are the links I have been sent regarding this: Sure-Max 8 Moving & Packing Blankets - Ultra Thick Pro - 80" x 72" (65 lb/dz weight) - Professional Quilted Shipping Furniture Pads Black : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CJHH7J8 To hang the blankets (I presume that if you are creating a booth using PVC Piping you probably won’t need these) : YeYeBest Double Curtain Rods 30 to 87 Inch, Metal Extendable Double Drapery Rod Set for Windows, Black : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09QFV4KG5?th=1 Curtain Rings with Clips 1.5 Inch Set of 20 Heavy Duty Curtain Hooks for Drapes, Caps, Pictures - Rustproof & Decorative Black Curtain Rings for Bathroom, Living and Guest Room : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08KWM35C2?th=1 I hope that this information is useful.

I Highly recommend this course.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I got motivated and finally found the perfect space to treat and put together a sound booth. It's a small storage closet in the basement but it will work for what I need. I stopped here for the night, but next, I'll be moving my essential equipment in for the right spot to record in. Here's a few pictures of the beginning and end of the project for now.

Yesterday I got a call from a friend, she has a grandson who thinks he wants to be a voice over artiest. So since she knows I'm work on being one she called me. She started talking about how they goggled voice overs. And found about six tons of information. And started asking me lots and lots of questions. I sat as she asked them. She can be as stubborn as me so she didn't like the answer I keep giving her. Earl Hall. Why are you asking all these questions When I tell you the answer is Earl Hall. Go and look at his videos. And I'll tell you right now, Only his videos, because you know just enough to look at tons of videos until you end up watching cat videos. Because you'll become confused and lose in the million and as half different ways to become a voice over artist. Your tiring to help him, but you can't. Her: But how does he keep from being scammed? Me: Earl Hall. Her: But,.. Me stopping her.: The answer is going to be the same, Earl Hall. But since you're not hearing me.I started telling her a long list of things she had no clue about. And the last on that list was telling her they were going to be as lost as a bitty in the weeds. So now are you hearing me? And You will not be able to explain two things I things I told you to him. So stop fighting and you two set your butts down and watch Earl Halls videos. Now that's the last thing we need to talk about until he goes and look at Earl. And show up on his live pod cast next Friday. So What are you two doing this weekend? (we got it like that.) Were end she told me she was confused and need to get off the phone. Me: Cool I still love you talk with you later, bye! For people who want to take the blue pill thinking it's the instant answer to all their questions, They need to talk with the oracle who's going to ask them the question are you really serious or just shopping. I think that's the last time we'll have at conversation. But until her grand son is willing to put back stage Grand mom in the audience while he stumbles blindly looking for the answers. No need to go any farther. (guess Eal has rubbed off on me) 🤣

Today is round two Sent out 40 email of introduction this morning lets see what happens. Also I thought while I was at it. look up publishing houses in the valley. And start a list for them. I need to do some research on small book publishing companies since I know zip about that business.

You might want to buy an external hard drive and save your work to it,...just in case you have a computer brake down I have a 1Tb Toshiba I got it back in 2020 cheap for 49.00. And if you have old hard drives you can get the connections to turn them into external hard drives (done that too). With your backed up work(that includes you presets) you can save time once you get a new one or get the one you have back up and running.

Do you prioritize your time? I started by working on getting to know my DAW better from 7:30 am to 9:00 am. I trun off my phone, turn off notifications on my laptop and Kindle fire. And keep my door closed. I let everyone know I'm out of pocket at that time. I also do it the afternoons while practicing my reads. Most people know that on Saturdays I have a zoom meeting.They can call but I'm not going to talk with them.

Want to pass me on the leader board( please do. it's cold up here.) one tip you need to do all of your videos in the classroom. And make one or two, three would be best, comments more then me. And bingo you pass me up. And I will not hate on you. But you will have to live with Road Runner comments from me.🤣🤣🤣

#How To Set Up Your Recording Space still working on it.

Sent off the first ten emails to production co. Haven't hear from nine of them yet. But one did come back. undelivered, doubled checked the email address,and called the number disconnected. Oh well there's still about 99 more to go.

#Live Zoom AMA 03.04.23 In the beginning we all start at zero! And... we need to be consistent to grow! We need to put in the work and take action! Doing an outreach.. do you have fear of rejection? Yes, I do.. and yet... (I'm telling myself) don't let that stop you... keep pushing forward!

Ho I forgot, they sound better with headphones on.😏 just saying.

I was looking at you tube for some circus music to work on adding it to my reads. And like a lot of time I got carried away. I don't know if this is royalty free so it strictly for in house use. I used my phone to recorded it. Did my Mp4a to Mp3 conversion. And then started playing with it on Audacity. The first one is the normal version. No.2 is after I played with it I had to fight my urge to over process it. It's a habit from process my photo work where I like to push the colors on a lot of my work there. Since I had worked the script contest this month. Let's do this, can you tell me how I did the second one.😉

2nd week in on the "Voiceover Domination" course, I had no idea how much I didn't know, and we're just getting started! I'm overwhelmed but getting "unstuck" in so many areas. Thank you for the outstanding guidance!
