Thank you for the helpful comments on voiceovers. Its always good to get more ideas. One thing that is a big challenge for a lot of people is in finding the error parts of a long recorded track of a voice-over track to edit. Without a 'trigger' that is visual that you can find on the track, it is hard to find the errors without listening to the whole lot again. The easiest strategy I use is in counting to 10 at the error point and not stopping the recording. Two things happen with that. Firstly it helps you to ready your voice to repeat and improve on the error part. Secondly it helps you find the error when you are ready to edit the track in your DAW. Hope that helps. Thanks again for the good comments on your video.
I adored Ryan's natural raspy voice. I love the world of audiobook reading. And the most important part is having a coach who teaches you the right way through reading and being successful.
My gosh, I love love love this. Insightful, Thoughtful. Helpful. Each and every second being so very valuable. Ryan is a star storyteller. Thank you Khristine for giving Ryan those little nudges in the right places. She "gets it". Thank you both!
These videos are very helpful. I have always wanted to be a voice over artist. I have degree in Art and experience in theatre and performing arts. I never pursued acting or used my acting skills for years. This will be a great opportunity for me to work from home and do something that I have a passion for. Thanks!
I think Ryan sounds great! I also love your direction, Khris, about feeling the character with one's body, and differentiating between male and female tones and inflection. The market for the content definitely makes the difference between an emotional read vs. a "colder" read.
I noticed her voice was very raspy. Is this something that would be a hindrance for her as she expands into different book styles, or is it something she can learn to develop to create her own "voice" in audio book narration? I'm asking as I have a bit of rasp in my voice, and am trying to manage it as I work into this as well.
Everyone’s voice is unique, Rasp is just another voice quality, just like age, and gender. They are so many books that want a raspy voice, there are a lot of actors with raspy voices, who can indeed modulate and work to get rid of it if need be.
She is speaking right on her vocal chords, it seems very little breath. Notice the coaches suggestion of pitch and using the full body, which includes breath. The notes are wonderful but I could not listen to the whole thing because of her speaking on her vocal chords. It drove slightly nuts. Anyway good luck to all🎭🎶😎
Very helpful! I am interested i becoming a Producer, but I am not certain what is required in terms of enacting various characters. So this video gives a very good illustration. Thank You!!
The direction is very illuminating, though the narrator has such deep vocal fry, I found it a bit distracting - possibly just my taste though. Is it a hydration thing, or a habit of speaking into the back of the throat that does this?
CAMERADO I thought the same thing about her vocal fry. I thought she did a great job on taking the coach’s direction, and this was all very helpful, but I, too, found her raspy voice distracting.
Raspyness bothered me enough that I wouldn't be able to listen to an entire book. I hear her and visualize an older, heavy smoker and expect coughing at any moment.

Gosh, this session was incredibly insightful as well! Your masterclasses are amazing!

That was a great video. The beautiful Ryan was good at the start but she was truly excellent at the end. I closed my eyes and I was there.
This is so interesting! Kristine Hvam is my all time favorite VO Artist!!! My family's fav also, so talented!!💓💓

I'm really looking forward to chatting with everyone online! See you all soon.
A newbie here! Where can I practice? Have nothing but a cellphone, a whole lot of books at home and a roaring excitement to learn!
so good. I felt it the shift and the intimacy after she closed her eyes. wow.
I like the narrator's voice and performance. And the coach is remarkable.
Great session! It was lovely to watch. I love voicing audiobook narration
This is fantastic....I need more of this in my life!

Way raspy haha

Trace Taylor oh no :( ya it was hard for me to listen too also
Kristine Hvam! This is awesome!
I like this, this something I would like to do but I see it takes practice.
Lets practice together! I'm new, no experience and interested too!
I’m new and very interested...

I love listening to audio books and I always thought that the variation of the voices were worked right in the sound equipment.
Woah, Im not a VA but this is interesting and fun
Why Acx does not pay authors and never answer to emails???
Halfway through an audiobook narration at the moment so I'll have some.
looking forward to it.
Can anyone please tell me if this video is downloadable?

Yes, me too. I hear this type of tone a lot from teen girls, almost like they force it to stay in the throat.

@@portuguese-translator That's an interesting observation.
wow this narrator is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
I won't be able to attend the live episode. Does anyone know if they'll provide a recording?
This video will live on our RUclips page and in our Performance playlist (bit.ly/2mJYWB8) after the premiere is complete!
Please, can I do reading from my country (Nigeria).
very impressive
What book is she reading?
Wow it's amazing
Hi, Waiting
Ryan's raspy voice is so easy to listen to here.
A millennium, not a millennia. Or just millennia, which is multiple millenniums.
