I hadn’t even decided whether I’ll be taking up voice over but after this gold nugget of an advice looking me in the eye and telling me how it’s done, I feel I’m running out of excuses not to do it. Precious. Thanks Bill!
Wow.. I can’t wait to use these tips, tomorrow when I work on my samples/demo etc.. so nervous .. happy to have something to work with. THANK YOU, again. So well timed:))..😊
Tips not just for VO, but for acting. Genuine feeling (without "showing"); authenticity (letting YOU come through, not your idea of what "they" want); and mostly, letting go of control.
Correct. Espeically for radio plays.
Great tips here, Bill. Especially in that we don't audibly sound the same as what we hear in our heads. It's a fight not doing retake after retake in the pursuit of perfection.
Thank you! Yeah, that's a very important one to understand. I think it's best to just do your best and keep moving. Appreciate the comment. Have a good rest of your week! 😁
Thanks for reducing the amount of jump cuts.
I feel Bill is back 🙌🏾
I actually agree
No problem! I appreciate all the feedback. I've been adding some new things to my channel recently, but I've heard everyone on the editing. I'm working on scaling it back.
Thanks for these tips, Bill. Especially for demonstrating them. It's one thing to be told what to do and how to do it, but it is so much more illustrative to see a seasoned pro give a demonstration.
Hi Tony! You're welcome. I've been trying to incorporate more demonstration in my videos so people can clearly see what I'm talking about. I'm really glad to hear you're finding it helpful. :-)
people told me I was dumb when I told them to grab a teddy bear grab or some water put it in front of you and speak to it. this voice over world is so toxic thanks bill these method is amazing and helps a lot when performing.
That's not dumb at all! Whatever you need to use to help improve your performance. If that's a water bottle or a teddy bear then so be it haha. Glad you're finding my videos helpful!
I'm Vincent, VO artist from the Philippines, and I just felt the number one tip right through the bones! Your videos got me more excited for next scripts to come! Thanks so much man.
Did my first recording today. I was performing as the eighteen year old rockstar (both of which I'm not lol) that I was reading. Even with editing I didn't love how it turned out. After watching this I realized my problem. Next time I'll focus on being real and think about how I feel. This video is gold! A master sharing his knowledge. Thank you.
Thanks. Just started... very helpful like all your shows!!!... Marc from Canada :)
This is so freaking helpful. This is what I was needing to finish getting started. Have the equipment and have worked so much on exercises. You are awesome and I am definitely looking into your daughters class. When I get a pro demo it will be with you.
Great tip about how to emotionalize the reading 📚
I have a VO audition coming up and I am so grateful to have seen this thank you!!!
Another excellent video. In my opinion, NO ONE else has offered such valuable advice. Thank you Bill.
Bill's version of method acting! Great stuff.
Just love this video! Thanks for sharing Bill, you just don't know how you have saved all those neophytes out there in this field! God bless you!
You are amazing, Bill. Thanks. I have also used spring boarding but I never knew there was a word or phrase representing it.
Another technique is to read it very slowly, like a first grader so it registers in your mind and you become familiar with the script at an unconscious level.
Wow! That was the best. That was amazing coaching. I started listening to you less than a week ago. You are truly providing great coaching . I’m truly grateful for your ability to give and share.
Awesome advice thanks Bill
OUTSTANDING advice, Bill. I am about to embark on this journey and through this is where I see the term "Voice Acting". I needed this to have an insite of education and direction. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing so much of your insight and content with the community.
Hi Bryan! You're very welcome. Happy to help. :-)
Bill I continuously get such great insights from listening to you and I have a background as an actor I have studied acting everywhere from the American theater academy to coaches to numerous to mention and yet you are able to condense down the essence and really the simplicity of connecting with a script and sounding natural and comfortable and conversational and this is such a great reminder for me because I still after all these years get intimidated by that microphone at times
Thanks Bill! These tips are REVELATIONS! Thank you so much for teaching me to deep think about how to feel and then read aloud what I read on a mic.
Awesome video, I’ve been struggling for 30 minutes to utter a single word for my first TH-cam video, I feel this was the key
Love this Bill!!! Thank you
Awesome tips thank you
Excellent tips! Thanks, Bill :)
Thanks, Bill. This is great advice. I’ll be writing these down and posting them in my studio. I need to move from “performance” to “vulnerable” to move up in VO work. I’ll be incorporating these tips in my future jobs.
Thanks again.
Thank you Bill for another superb video!
You're welcome! Appreciate the comment. Always nice hear that my videos resonate with people. :-)
This is very helpful, thanks Bill, im having difficulty with engaging the script and making it sound genuine. Your point about controlling how I should sound is so on point. I am training locally and in the early stages of it. Your videos compliment my journey greatly, cheers
Thank you! you are amazing!
Thank you Bill DeWees. Great advice.
Hi Bill, thanks for the Video.
I have never used the Springboard by adding to the script, but i will certainly try.
So far, i tried to channel the emotion by acting the emotion (eg. Smiling, Laughing, Yawning, Remembering certain moments), which also changed the reading significantly.
Fantastic! Really glad that's working so well for you. Yeah, I'd give it a try. It may help improve your reads even more. 😁
Thank you for everything you do!
You're welcome!😁
Notification bells are turned off for your videos. Liked and subbed, though!
Great advice, Bill. Thanks for sharing!
No problem! Glad you enjoyed it. 😁
You are a great guy, Bill!🙂 I look forward to see much more videos of you - it is really helpful! Greetings from Germany!🙃🎙
Thanks for sharing Bill I will try it out.
You're welcome! Please do and feel free to let me know how it works for you. :-)
Thank you Bill, great stuff here, we are all blessed....
No problem at all! Really glad to hear you enjoyed it. :-)
Thanks for providing these incredibly helpful tips and directions. I find them extremely useful.
No problem! Really glad you're getting a lot out of them. Appreciate the comment. :-)
Awesome advice, Thank you!
No problem at all! 😁
🤠Always great to watch your videos Bill
Thx bill!
Bill... Once again GREAT ADVICE... Thank you so much... Be Well and Safe
Thank you, Charlie! You too. You're very welcome. I'm glad you thought so. :-)
Excellent.
This is Soo nessecary video! Thank you for these tips! 😊
You're welcome! Glad you think so. :-)
Hi Bill,
Very helpful and valuable tips again. You really are an expert and very knowledgeable.Thanks my freind.
These are great techniques. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
AND! Vulnerability!!!
Illinois misses you Bill!
Wow, thanks so much, I like the technique. I am subscribing so I don't miss any video. Thanks
Thank you for your information I’m a beginner however I’ve done a couple scripts and I’m getting the hang of it working on editing and back ground music
I like the advice about speed reading the script. I always think about how i feel when i am reading , but sometimes it is difficult to connect. Do you have a video about reading material with different characters (i.e., Peter Pan)
Great techniques! Thanks for the teaching! Looking forward to incorporating them in my next reads! Also, Thanks for the tip on The Voice Over's Webmaster. I've been working with Jeff and Brian to get up and running! should be ready to go soon.
Fantastic! Great to hear. You're welcome! Glad you're getting something out of it. :-)
Great advice. Thank you!!!!! ;)
You're welcome! 😁
THank you bill
You're very welcome! Happy to hear you're enjoying the content. :-)
Good job, bud.
Awesome advice. Thanks Bill. Can’t find the link about the whisper room though and would like to know more.
Thanks.
No problem! Here's the link: bit.ly/bill-youtube-k5
Personally when I need to really feel the character I'm voicing I spend about 5 minutes watching/listening to something related with them. It helps me get in their shoes
Excellent strategies. How do I get started in voice work?
Great video...lots of info. Lots of harsher edit cuts in this one too ;-D
Bill's videos have become impossible to watch because of the way he's been editing them lately. It's obvious he's editing for the best audio pacing, but watching the screen constantly "glitch" out because of his edits is making them unwatchable. I haven't been able to get all the way through a single video since he started this practice; I unsubscribed last week.
Very sorry to hear that, John. I've been trying to add a few new things to my channel recently, but I realize some of them haven't been received well. I'm working on finding a balance. Appreciate the feedback.
@@VoiceCoach-BillDeWees don’t listen to him, this is a very common and effective editing technique to shorten video time and connect the ideas more smoothly.
Wow
Acting with emotion is the biggest part of voice over that you just won't find in an AI read ever.
Very true. Can't replace that. :-)
I will payback very good if you assist me getting in.
