\n

As a voice actor, you have heard coaches ask you, \u201cWho are you talking to in the copy?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, you choose a close friend \u2013 and it works in the first few moments but drifts away.<\/p>\n

What if I told you that there is someone else to talk to \u2013 who is so obvious that most commercial voice actors miss it \u2013 YOURSELF. Rather than imagining you are speaking to a \u201cbest friend\u201d during your copy read \u2013 TALK TO YOURSELF.<\/p>\n

Try this: Read this copy externally as though you are talking to someone else who is across the table from you.<\/p>\n

\u201cISN\u2019T THERE A BETTER WAY TO FIND HEALTH INSURANCE?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now read the same line \u2013 lower your volume \u2013 bring up the intensity \u2013 and go inside your head and ask yourself this question \u2013 TALK TO YOURSELF.<\/p>\n

\u201cIsn\u2019t there a better way to find health insurance?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t that feel very different? By internalizing your text \u2013 lowering the volume and increasing the intensity- you allow the listener to do the same. Trust the intimacy and use mic technique to let the mic handle the volume.<\/p>\n

So, feel free to converse with yourself during your commercial copy reads. Having an internal conversation with yourself \u2013 giving yourself advice, asking a question, or internalizing a memory -connects you to yourself, the copy, AND THE LISTENER, who will do the same thing.<\/p>\n

All voice acting must go back and forth between internal and external energies. How did reading with internal energy feel to you? Is this something you use normally?<\/p>\n\n
