VOICE OVER TIPS | THE COLD READ

Welcome back to Crown Stag voiceover. In this voice over tips video we will be talking about the cold read. A cold read in voice acting and voice over is reading aloud from a script or other text with little or no rehearsal, practice or study in advance. Sometimes also referred to as sight reading, it is a technique used by actors and other performers in theatre, television, and film performance. But how do you get good at that and what is you are not very good at sight reading? Well, practice makes perfect, Reading aloud as much and as often as you can really can develop this skill for you and when in doubt, the "pregnant pause" is a lovely tool to user to change up your delivery and give you a moment to realign where you are in your script. Its a great acting technique to adopt. give it a try.

great tips here. Thanks again for being a guest and dropping all that knowledge. It was awesome having you on.

This is solid gold. I love it. One time I was doing an audition, and it was sort of a sad topic. I like to pause because I feel that timing is critical to create a mood or emotion or whatever you want to call it. I paused and actually sighed before going in to the next sentence. It sounded awesome. These are the types of thing that will ALWAYS set us little humans apart from those evil robots. I think AI is going to take a HUGE chunk out of the VO business in the next 5-10 years. So, I feel it is important for me to really, really, really work on giving those human elements that robots will NEVER be able to do. Like Pregnant Pauses. Great video, sir.

How is VO gonna be taken over by AI in your opinion?

[@CrownStagVoiceover]

The more sophisticated it gets and the easier it becomes to encode I can see it becoming a threat. That could be years away or even months. I have heard ads that say “hey I’m an AI voice and you couldn’t tell” - yeah ya can
