You are a treasure! I "discovered" you only today, but have learned so much already (and I've been doing voice overs for over 25 years!). Thank you for your generosity in sharing all this with us! 🙏
The Denny's example was really funny. Thank you for showing me examples of differences between voice types. That was helpful.
The best find on the internet in years as far as VO training! You guys Rock! William is by far the best teacher I have seen so far!
Thanks for these valuable tips. I've been pegged as an "announcer" since 2nd grade when I was cast in the school play as the voice of the "Mirror Mirror Upon the Wall". In a college speech class, my reading of Shakespeare was reviewed by the professor as "the first time I've ever heard Shakespeare read as a radio commercial!" She had me pegged, because I just retired after 40+ years on the air.
I guess I really need to up my game as a more natural, conversational talent...not easy after decades of announcing!
My old insurance agent from Manning SC told me a decade ago I should go into radio, he said he had a buddy in radio in Florence SC and that I should go visit him, I never did. Since then I've been in the background three TV shows several different seasons and featured in a few scenes. Now I'm auditioning for my first short film. I wish I had visited when I had the chance but Gods getting me right where i needed to be
You can't regret the past. It wastes your energy. Concentrate on what you can do today and in the future. Best of Success!
I would've liked it more if you actually gave an example and read from a script to show the contrast in styles. Thanks.
a trick: you can watch movies at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.
He's performing each description while describing it. It's subtle, but that's the point.
What a way to make it understanding , conversationally....Thanks William
Sir, you deserve a Oscar award from voice over industry.💙 you teaching us in very nice way.
This is excellent, William. Thank you!
This is is the most useful! Thank you Uncle Willi!
Good advice! Thanks!
Amazing video! many thanks
William Williams! Thank you so much for this! Precise and prefect.
Exactly what I was looking for thank you thank you!
This is really good. I always felt that with the announcing style you would be talking at the listener, rather than to them.
You are so amazing! I wish you all the best sir!
Stumbled across your channel today - - THANKS
Useful thoughts. Thank you.
Thanks. As a new RUclipsr I need to learn to talk to the camera like a friend. This helps a lot.
Well done; highly informative.
Thank you, very useful.
Thank you sir. This is so informative.
Excellent advice
Thank you for good tips
Amazing insights.
I was finding it a little difficult differentiating between a Narrators's delivery and the Conversational style. Your points are so helpful! TY - I am going to try this with the talking on the phone to the one person approach to see if my voice can change out of Narrator for the job I have right now.
I’ve often wondered if this conversational tone isn’t as new or foreign as some advice videos may make it seem.
What they’re talking about *would* be quite different from a “Sunday, SUNDAY, Sunday...come down to Bob’s Carpet Emporium, where everything must go!” commercial or the “Tired of opening jars the old way, we’ll have we got a gizmo for you!” infomercial energies we used to hear, where they’re belting out the message. But those of us trained for more theatrical deliveries with more focus on natural sounding emotion may be quite familiar with the principles of the conversational tone.
So a narrator’s delivery, where you’re describing things to and connecting with people instead of directing them, may be close to a conversational tone, already.
sir you are doing excellent work today i found your video its really helpful for me and those who want to come in this field
Thank you sir!!! Cheers!!! :)
Thank you
Very helpful
listening to the VO of the 1930's is night and day to animated VO. A theater background will do that to your performers.
Well done sir...well done...
Mighty algorithm hear our cries, elevate Mr Williams
Thanks -- I kind of had an idea of what it meant but needed some extra input, and I think what you provided might be what I needed. I was at the point of if I saw another person who said "conversational" or "sincere" in an audition I wanted to smash them in the mouth. Maybe this will keep me out of jail. :)
I have accent, english is second language. I work at the call center, can you help to speak more clearly?
Thanks for information. How many times do we have to rehearse script before recording..??
Until it sounds natural. You are voicing someone else's words and may sound stilted at first. I like to parse the script to identify times to add a pause or take a breath, or identify words where I should add inflection and emphasis. Try to convey the emotion in your voice (since you can't "show" that through facial expressions or body language - although I will still do those things behind the mic - it really helps bring out the emotion).
Thanks for your reply....
@@jeanne8898 What a thoughtful and educational comment, really contributing to the conversation. Very helpful.
Is this video considered conversational?
3:37 apparently you haven't been on twitter.
lol
What do you do when you hate the sound of your recorded voice LOL
Thomas, I know what you mean. I seriously thought that it was gonna be a hindrance to me being able to learn how to do voice overs. I think I’m just learning to get used to it. Because my natural voice is way different than I thought it sounded. Still learning.
