Hello! I am a trained voice over artist, with a particular interest in character and audiobook projects, especially in the realm of Fantasy and Sci-Fi. I am relatively new to pursuing voice over work, and I am excited to see what fun opportunities will come up along the way. Outside of voice over training, I have a background in theatre, a good portion of that being Improv Comedy.
Character Voice Over for Gaming and Animation
In this course, I learned how to apply my voice over abilities into creating believable sounding characters in an animation or video game setting. This class emphasized the importance of voice acting being acting, utilizing body language, immersion, and having fun.
I learned the fundamentals of Voice Over in this course, such as maintenance exercises/self care, cadence and timing, and the different ways to utilize your voice depending on the type of work. We primarily covered Radio and Commercial voice over readings and recordings.
In this course, I learned about cadence and timing in regards to what is needed for quality-sounding audio book voice over. We explored different types of audio book voice over, such as fiction, non-fiction, and Medical voice over. We also learned how to sustainably record long lines of dialogue in an efficient manner, without compromising quality.
In this course, I learned more about the fundamentals of voice over, such as script analysis, taking direction, and self direction, with the practice projects being longer. We learned more about having better quality sounding recordings, did group setting recordings, and PSA style recordings.
I am most interested in character voices for video games and animation. I enjoy voicing fantastical, non human characters, especially in fantasy settings. I also enjoy narration-style work. A narration/audio book demo will be provided in the future.
