I gotta just say that this is pretty impressive. I just happened to watch a parody of a cartoon and found myself curious of the voice over process. The main thing that sticks out to me is the passion that this guy has for this, and I applaud it! I know this vid isn't anything major but from his passion and detail I'm now possibly looking to learn more about this. Great job! I salute you for sharing something you feel strongly about. Keep going, and dig in to it even futher!.
Thank you! Very informative! I'm also a Senior Pastor with a desire to venture in the area of profession voiceover. I pray God's blessings upon your pursuits in that area.
I'm just a kid who loves any type of acting and has been voice acting for a bit. I don't have fancy equipment or anything like that but I hope to someday. I just have to say the you are so incredibly passionate, that it's inspiring! Thank you
Remember this -- dboyd 1985 -- God gave you a unique voice that no one has--use it and be you. Everybody is born unique but many die a copy. Be you and use your natural ability. With Gods help you can do this and have a great future in this field of voice overs.
JayJay, I want to encourage you, if this is something you would enjoy doing than GO FOR IT. Don't worry about what other people voice sounds like. You can be sure of one thing....NO ONE and I mean NO ONE has your unique voice. There is only one of you and that can never be replaced. There is so much work out there in this field I am sure you will find your market. God Bless You and Be Confident. Remember you can do this.
6:50 I am touched by your performance along with the music. I enjoyed it and I am going to repeat it over and over. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.
Thanks so much, that would be really awesome! At the moment I don't have much in terms of voice overs in my briefs, but sometime at the start of next year I should have some big projects coming up. Thanks again!
i love this video it really helped me with making my voice over audition tapes...ive booked 5 voice over jobs..because of this video thank you so much!!! god bless haha
Ay bro. Loved it, especially the Jesus part! I am starting out in VO and have faith that the lord will lead me so that I will prosper in this area. My name is Marshall and your prayers are appreciated.
Thank you so much for your informative information!! That was Awesome, I have always been interested in doing voice overs, my friends say that I have a nice voice!
Oh man that would be awesome! I still have a few weeks before I record anything and I will definitely send you the script if I am completely lost..lol I'll double check with my friend if he's cool with me sending it off =D
There is more work than there are voice over artists. Look at your local businesses in your area. They are always looking for voice over talent to do a spot for there company. Mom and pop shops are a great start to build a client base. Remember not all small businesses stay small many times they grow and you should grow with them.
My set up is a very very very simple set up. All I have is a Generic Mic called" Stirling Audio Mic with a 0db and -10db (Decibel) roll off switch-which cost $299.00 at Sam Ash Music. I use the Apogee Duet $500.00 for my Mac Computer and Garage Band software that come with the mac. I use the "Podcasting"Setting in Garage Band and under that setting look for "Male Radio Noisy" effect. This is what works for my voice. You might need to try other effects for your voice. --God Bless
Such an inspiring video! I wish you every success in your ventures. I'm seriously looking into this field and you helped that. Can I ask one thing, where do you get your background music from Jay?
gerald612-I don't use a processor. I am using the Apogee Duet with a Generic Mic call a Sterling Audio mic I bought both at Sam Ash. I can tell you with all honesty what you here is plug n play settings. I don't add anything to my voice. The duet is a excellent system for home use with pro quality. I sometimes use the basic Garage Band effect Under the "Podcasting"Setting "Male Radio Noisy" If I did use an effect this is this one. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hey Jay I like what you said. BTW I am from Saudi Arabia and I really have my passion on Voice Over. I has my voice long time ago, I started to show my voice to my country as voice over in Middle east. Yeah. I would like you to check my voice over to teach me or show me the right way. My voice Over are Arabic Language and I do English as well. Thanks Jay.
The trend for some years has been a very conversational almost unprofessional "sounding" read. CONTAGIOUS7 has a beautiful voice, possibly very consistent with what might make a successful DJ. You have a great announcer/promo voice and will probably have success there. I've been in the business since '93 and there is a lot of prejudice toward announcer sounding guys when it comes to commercials.
well considering that I am a beginner, anything can be helpful. I really need to figure out how to increase range and consistancy. I've agreed to help a friend do a voice or two in an internet series he's trying to put together based on Halo =D
This is really helpful Jay. Am an amateur in this. I don't own a mic yet but do you think it does much of the magic to the voice? Otherwise I thank you for sharing the important stuff you know with the world. Really awsome.
That was a great clip sounds wonderful! What kind of set up do you have? Mixer, mic, etc. What did you use to get that movie trailer effects in this clip? Thanks Rob
Keith it would be my pleasure to help you out . The good thing about voice over is that it is a very flexible career. Shoot me a script sometime. I'd love to do it.
I really enjoyed watching this! It is really helpful except I don't have any expensive equipment.... Anyways, what would you suggest on doing small voice overs for like sims youtube videos?
I'll work on putting something together that should help you. It's going to take some time since I'm doing a narration for an independent film. Let me think out what I'm going to video tape before pushing the RECORD BUTTON and up loading it to my RUclips PAGE. Also keep in mind that if you would like for me to help with some recording, shoot me over a script.
I must tell you that my set up is very simple. I plug up my headphones directly into my computer. This is probably not going to help you BUT i will look into it for you and get you your answer. Thank You God Bless
Hi you sound really great! Very professional! I am a student animator and I was just wondering if you would ever be interested in the future if I passed on a few lines of script for my animation projects? This would be really appreciated, but I can understand if you don't really have the time for this sort of thing being a family man and such. Thanks for your time Keith
Do you still do voice overs? This was a long time ago you made this video but I think you have a great voice and would like to work with you on some voice overs!
@bornagain3377 USB is Ok to start with but after you make a few bucks you should upgrade to a good condenser microphone that connects to a regular mic cable and into some interface that connects to your computer. An 'Apogee' a great option.
The Mic that I used in my "Learn to do Voice Over" youtube video is a "Sterling Audio Mic" with a 0db and a -10 db (decibel) roll off switch. It is a generic mic of the more expensive types.That's what I used in my You Tube Video the cost was $299.00. It is well worth every penny. If you have any other questions feel free to write back. Jay
hey nunca me imagine encontrar un pastor q hicera voice over yo quiero aprender como hacerlo para editar las presentaciones de mi iglesia si pudieras ayudarme te lo voy a agradecer
@tylerdurden1971 I received a message on my Voice over page saying, "My Voice Is Better" I believe you, just do something with it and make a difference in the world. God Bless
What software are you to process your voice? More important what setting are you using in your software? I have two different software packages Audition and Sonar and can not get my settings correct to create that movie trailer affect to my voice. It seem everyone that I find wants to keep that part of voice over work secret. I am working to do voice overs for my church commercials and TV broadcast. That way I can have excellence for the Father above.
Hi Jay, I want to ask you a question, my wife is very talented when it comes to making voice overs in Spanish, do you have any idea where she would start to get to work doing voice overs in spanish for movies or cartoons? or anyone else that can help, would be very highly appreciated, thanks, Jesse
hi great video, could you give me some help. do you know how it is possible to monitor your voice in real time ? i have a samson C03u usb mic and it isnt possible to have live monitoring, do you know what mic and pre amp i will need to run on a vista computer with live monitoring . hope you can help, thanks
I'm still so confused. I have an IPad and I like to shoot videos on there. And I have Video Effects Live and apparently you can do voice overs there. How do you do that!
The mic is a generic "Sterling Audio." I'm use garage band. for software. I have been traveling all of Latin America on tour with my band. It's hard to find time to do more videos. I will do one soon I promise. Check out the band CONTAGIOUS777COM
Dude you have an AWESOME voice. You sound like a DJ. :)
"Love, peace and hair grease." That, right there, made my day. Wonderful vid. Loved it. Thank you for the advice! :D

Great vid! :) Do you have any advice on how to do voiceovers on videos that are more informational, like instructional/tutorial videos?
I'll work on putting something together that should help you. It's going to take some time since I'm doing a narration for an independent film.

Chuck Bass from Gossip Girl should do voice overs lol

Hi you sound really great! Very professional!
I am a student animator and I was just wondering if you would ever be interested in the future if I passed on a few lines of script for my animation projects? This would be really appreciated, but I can understand if you don't really have the time for this sort of thing being a family man and such. Thanks for your time
Keith
Thank you for your words of encouragement. I really appreciate that. If you ever need a voice over shoot me an e-mail.
Do you still do voice overs? This was a long time ago you made this video but I think you have a great voice and would like to work with you on some voice overs!
@bornagain3377 USB is Ok to start with but after you make a few bucks you should upgrade to a good condenser microphone that connects to a regular mic cable and into some interface that connects to your computer. An 'Apogee' a great option.
@beautyandnobeast Use tooble then import it in a program like garage band and mute the audio track in Garage Band

You have nice sound man! What microphone is that?
@odalager YEAH, YOU ARE VOICE IS AMAZING. ALL YOU ARE BASE ARE BELONG TO US.
Do you do voice exercise for expanding low range? If so, which ones?
Pro tips!
Fantastic, I'm General
very nice voice that you've got pastor.. i'm a DJ here in the philippines. i just don't know how to get a DJ voice over from u.. how much? lolz..
so like changing your voice like how Morgan Freeman's voice pulls you into a story/movie or no?
What software are you to process your voice? More important what setting are you using in your software? I have two different software packages Audition and Sonar and can not get my settings correct to create that movie trailer affect to my voice. It seem everyone that I find wants to keep that part of voice over work secret. I am working to do voice overs for my church commercials and TV broadcast.
