START HERE! WELCOME FROM PETER BAKER
🎤Welcome to the Voice Power Coach Community! 🎤 This is your one stop shop for everything regarding improving the power, clarity and confidence of your voice. If you want to boost your communication skills, you've come to the right place. ☺️ A little bit about me... I’ve been behind the microphone for most of my life, starting in radio broadcasting and media production in the 1970’s and now a very busy freelance voice artist and vocal trainer based in the UK. My colleague Mark Laxton and myself started writing, filming and producing training courses about the voice about 20 years ago; we’ve now trained over 175,000 students around the world and have created 33 courses that get very high ratings and feedback to help people improve their voices and communications skills as well as train voice actors. 💡 How this community works... As well as a platform where you can learn to develop a strong, confident voice with the courses in the CLASSROOM section, the idea is that you are very free to post and comment on anything voiceover related and we can all help each other. Maybe you need to improve your voice and confidence in your work, or to make new friends in your leisure time. The voice is the main communication tool we all have, it's so worth while to make the most of its potential. Please be respectful and helpful in your posts, please! 👉 Questions to me? I check in when I can. I can't promise fast replies, but questions that keep coming up will get included in future courses! I'm sure active community members will be pleased to assist as well! 📚 What's in the CLASSROOM (Top tab): Complete and comprehensive video-based courses, often with useful downloadable resources. ✳️ VOICEOVER BEGINNER COURSE ✳️ 30 DAYS TO A CONFIDENT VOICE! ✳️ 7 DAYS TO A DEEPER VOICE ✳️ VOCAL TRAINING ✳️ 70 TOP VOICE EXERCISES ✳️ PUBLIC SPEAKING SUCCESS ✳️ SPEAK ENGLISH CLEARER ✳️ BEGINNER VOICEOVER COURSE

Video games
I've had a go at most things voice over but never done a video game, what do you think? have I got what it takes? Would you believe me if I said I could destroy the cosmos?

Is this too good to be true?
Hi everyone, Just quick question, as I’ve been offered a role that sounds almost too good to be true. Earlier this week, I received an email from a company called Nova Publishing, asking for a voiceover for a project. I replied to them earlier this morning, asking for further details, and I’ve just received the follow up email, describing the project. The production that they need help with, is for a Spotify immersive drama with a final fee of $2,500. The creative director has offered me this role without asking for an audition or about the equipment that I use to record. I’m extremely suspicious of this too good to be true offer, and wanted to know if this was, indeed, a scam (possibly a AI scam), or if anyone had heard and worked with Nova Publishing before? Thank you everyone.

Heard of "box breathing?"
Here's a useful technique that forms the basis of many breathing exercises to give you more power, more focus or even to help you get to sleep. Katy Brody and Peter Baker explain what "Box Breathing" is. For more breathing tips and exercises, check out the "70 VOICE EXERCISES!" in the classroom section!

Introduction
Good morning Peter, Mark and all the members here. I've been an actor for over 40 years and have bumbled around in all the usual "bits n bobs" ( a lot of panto!) Voiceover had played a small part in that career, dubbing foreign films into English, voicing corporate videos on artificial insemination in cattle and knitting machines, some audio drama with my Dr Who contacts for BBV and the fledgling Big Finish creators on cassette in the 80's "audio visuals", animation in Naples etc. Then I was able to join the roster at Oakhill publishing narrating those big box sets of cds for libraries in 2011 which led me into ACX in 2016 which has provided regular work over the past 10 years. I've been on Skool since last July, my recording set up does include a lovely Kube Diamond soundbooth which stands like a Tardis with it's chameleon circuit working in the corner of our cellar conversion in Crewe in Cheshire. Those things are sooooo heavy! I've been lucky enough to get some commercial VO's recently and have voiced the welcome video to Blists Hill Victorian town which plays on a loop to all the visitors, so I'd like to do some more of those kind of things as audiobooks are hard work! a lot of words! I have always made little films for fun, so I enjoy making my little adverts for my audiobooks in adobe premiere and after effects and I'll attach a sample here for you. If any of you are also acx ers I run a facebook group for you to distribute your promo codes for free with 34,000 members to advertise to, which I'll be happy to share if that is allowed. Looking forward to meeting everyone and hopefully making some new friends and contacts.
