>> HELLO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HAVING
ME TODAY.
ME TODAY.
ME TODAY. WHAT IS A VOICEOVER ARTIST?
BASICALLY, AS IT SAYS, IT IS A
PERSON THAT IS THE VOICE.
IT IS IS IS A PERSON THAT HAS
STUDIED ACTING OR EVEN SINGING.
IT IS A PERSON THAT GIVES LIFE
TO THE VOICE YOU ARE LISTENING

QUALITY CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT
AT BUNNY STUDIO.
I MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS
RECORDING OUR CLIENTS RECEIVE
HAS THE BEST QUALITY POSSIBLE
AND WE ALSO MAKE SURE THAT OUR
PROS LIKE THE VOICEOVER ARTIST

FREELANCERS WE WORK WITH HAVE
THE BEST EXPERIENCE WITH OUR

EXPERIENCED IT, AND ESPECIALLY

UNDERSTAND. WE ARE TRYING TO BEND WITH THE
SITUATION.
SITUATION. I AM CURRENTLY IN MY KITCHEN.
MY HOUSE IS BEING DISMANTLED AS
THERE ARE SOME REMODELING
EFFORTS GOING ON.
BUT NORMALLY I WOULD KEEP MY
MICROPHONE HIDDEN AS WE TRY TO
CONDUCT AN INTERVIEW WITH AS
MUCH NORMAL NORMALCY AS
POSSIBLE.
POSSIBLE.
POSSIBLE. BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS
APPROPRIATE TO SHOW THAT.
WHAT DOES IT TRULY TAKE FOR
SOMEONE -- IF THIS IS NOT
SOMETHING YOU HAVE STUDIED.
HOW DO YOU BREAK INTO THAT
BUSINESS?
BUSINESS?
BUSINESS? >> TO BREAK INTO THE VOICEOVER
INDUSTRY, THE FIRST THING THAT
I BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE TO DO
IS REALLY HAVE MY CURRENT
DISCIPLINE, AND PASSION FOR
VOICEOVERS.
VOICEOVERS. IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU
WOULD JUST CANCEL ANY OTHER
CAREER OR CRAFT YOU DECIDE TO
DO.
DO.
DO. ESPECIALLY WITH ARTISTIC CRAFTS
THAT YOU HAVE.
YOU REALLY HAVE TO LOVE IT.
YOU REALLY HAVE TO ENJOY IT AND
YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED TO PUT
YOURSELF INTO IT.
WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO
GET STARTED INTO THE VICE
VOICEOVER INDUSTRY IS TO KNOW
YOUR VOICE.
YOUR VOICE. LISTEN TO YOURSELF.
RECORD YOURSELF.
RECORD YOURSELF. EVEN IF YOU ONLY HAVE YOUR
PHONE OR COMPUTER.
LISTEN TO YOURSELF AND RECORD
YOURSELF.
YOURSELF.
YOURSELF. START GETTING USED TO HOW YOU
SOUND AND HOW PEOPLE ARE
PERCEIVING YOU.
PERCEIVING YOU. HOW YOU ARE USING YOUR VOICE TO
COMMUNICATE.
COMMUNICATE. THAT IS ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS
I WOULD SAY.>> WHO ARE SOME OF
YOUR MOST FAVORITE VOICEOVER
ARTIST IN THE INDUSTRY.
ESPECIALLY NAMES PEOPLE WOULD
KNOW.
KNOW.
KNOW. BUT
KNOW. BUT FOR MY FAVORITE I WOULD
REALLY HAVE TO SAY IS MARK
HAMILL.
HAMILL.
HAMILL. HE IS LUKE SKYWALKER AND ALSO
THE VOICE OF THE JOKER.
HE HAS DONE ONE OF THE BEST
PERFORMANCES.
PERFORMANCES. HE IS REALLY AMAZING.
I REALLY LIKE LILY CARVALHO.
SHE VOICES NO ONE UP.
SHE IS AWESOME AND HAS A GREAT
VOICE.
VOICE.
VOICE. BUT I WOULD SAY THAT MARK
HAMILL IS MY FAVORITE.
>> IS DEFINITELY A LEGEND.
MAYBE NOT LEGENDS QUITE YET BUT
DEFINITELY SOME OF OUR FAVORITE
MEMBERS OF THE TEAM.
WE HAD REPORTER JOINED DIXON AT
EXECUTIVE PRODUCER CONNOR
HUGHES TO GIVE THEIR HAND AT
VOICEOVER WORK.
VOICEOVER WORK. I'M GOING TO LET YOU GIVE US A
BIT OF A CRITIQUE AFTER TAKING
A LISTEN TO THEM AND JUST FOR
THE AUDIENCE, SO YOU KNOW,
CONNOR AND JoANNE WERE SENT

THEY WERE INSTRUCTED TO READ AS
THEY SAW FIT.
CHECK THEM OUT.>> THE KING

YOU NAME IT, WE HAVE THE PACKET
FOR IT.
FOR IT.
FOR IT. WHILE THE BACK.
GO GET YOURS NOW.>> YOU HAVE
HEARD BOTH JoANNE AND CONNOR.
LET'S GO AHEAD AND START WITH
CONNOR, WHOSE CHARACTER WAS AN
ANIMATED CHARACTER.
ANIMATED CHARACTER. SHE WAS ASKED TO VOICE THAT.
WHAT IS YOUR CRITIQUE AS A
VOICEOVER PROFESSIONAL?>> I
THINK CONNOR DID A GREAT JOB.
IT WAS VERY NICE OF VOICEOVER.
YOU CAN REALLY TELL THAT SHE
WANTED TO DO AN ANIMATED
CHARACTER.
CHARACTER. IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE MAY BE
IN THE MEDIEVAL ERA.
IT WAS REALLY NICE.
IT REALLY LIKED THE OVERALL
PERFORMANCE SHE PROVIDED.
GILLY THINK THAT I WOULD SAY, I
WOULD HAVE THREE MAIN COMMENTS.
FIRST OF ALL, SHE IS STRESSING
HER VOCAL CORDS TOO MUCH.
AND NOW SHE WAS TRYING TO MAKE
A DIFFERENT VOICE.
AND IT DIDN'T SOUND LIKE
HERSELF BUT SHE REALLY NEEDS TO
PUT A LITTLE BIT MORE NOT
STRESSING HER VOCAL CORDS TOO
MUCH BECAUSE THE KIND OF
PERFORMANCE IS NOT GOING TO
LAST.
LAST.
LAST. FOR
LAST. FOR EXAMPLE, BUT THEY SEE IS TO
RECORD THIS FOR 30 MINUTES OR
AN HOUR OR TWO HOURS, IT IS NOT
GOING TO LAST.
SHE IS GOING TO HURT HER VOCAL
CHORDS.
CHORDS.
CHORDS. IT WAS ALSO A LITTLE BIT TOO
MUCH LIKE ACTING AND SHE WAS
LEAVING UNNATURAL PAUSES.
I BELIEVE IT WAS BECAUSE SHE
WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE
SCRIPT AND SHE WAS STILL
READING IT AND GETTING FAMILIAR
WITH IT.
WITH IT.
WITH IT. THE WERE SOME PARTS THAT FELT A
LITTLE BIT LIKE SHE WAS ACTING
TOO MUCH.
TOO MUCH.
TOO MUCH. I KNOW THAT SOUNDS UNNATURAL
BECAUSE SHE IS ACTING, BUT WE
ALSO WANT HER TO NOT ACT THAT
MUCH.
MUCH.
MUCH. WE
MUCH. WE USUALLY FOR THESE KIND OF
CHARACTERS, WE WANT THEM TO
SOUND NATURAL LIKE YOU ARE
TRYING TO BRING A PERSON TO
LIFE.
LIFE.
LIFE. THEY ARE ANIMATED, BUT THEY
STILL WANT PEOPLE TO FEEL LIKE
THEY EXIST.
THEY EXIST. EVEN IF THEY ARE UNNATURAL OR
FANTASY CHARACTERS.
FANTASY CHARACTERS. IT WAS ALSO A LITTLE BIT NASAL.
SHE WAS TALKING TOO MUCH FROM
HER NOSE.
HER NOSE.
HER NOSE. IT IS NOT BAD.
A DEFENSE OF THE CHARACTER.
BUT I SOMETIMES FELT SHE WAS
OVERDOING IT A LITTLE BIT.
IT WAS A GREAT PERFORMANCE AND
I WOULD TOTALLY CULTURE A
LITTLE BIT AND MAYBE WITH AN
HOUR OR SO RECORDING TOGETHER,
THESE THINGS WOULD BE SUPER
NICE.
NICE.
NICE. SHE
NICE. SHE HAS A GREAT VOICE.>> WHAT
ABOUT JoANNE WHOSE VOICEOVER
SCRIPT WAS A COMMERCIAL, OF
SORTS.
SORTS.
SORTS. >>
SORTS. >> FOR JOANNA, ALSO BELIEVES HE
HAS THAT COMMERCIAL TONE SPOT
ON.
ON.
ON. SHE
ON. SHE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT SHE IS
DOING.
DOING.
DOING. I'M SURE THAT SHE KNOWS A THING
OR TWO ABOUT COMMERCIAL VOICES.
SHE IS PROBABLY VERY USED TO
COMMERCIALS.
COMMERCIALS. HOWEVER, I WOULD HAVE SOMETHING
FOR HER.
FOR HER.
FOR HER. I WOULD MAINLY SAY SHE WAS
DOING IT A LITTLE BIT TOO FAST.
WHEN YOU LISTEN TO THE
RECORDING AND VOICEOVERS ARE
HAVE TO ENUNCIATE EVERY SINGLE
WORD REALLY WELL.
WHEN YOU DO THAT TOO FAST, THEY
START GETTING MUFFLED AND YOU
START MISSING VELOZ AND WORDS
AND START MISSING SYLLABLES.
I WOULD RECOMMEND HER TO GO A
LITTLE BIT MORE EVEN PASTE AND
SLOWER.
SLOWER.
SLOWER. THE SECOND ONE IS IT A LITTLE
BIT TOO MUCH OF SALES.
WE ARE USED TO THOSE
COMMERCIALS FROM THE 90s AND
EARLY 2000, BUT RIGHT NOW THE
VOICES, THE COMMERCIAL VOICES
THAT ARE THE MOST SOUGHT FOR
AND LOOKED FOR OUR NATURAL.
CONVERSATIONAL LIKE YOU ARE
TALKING TO A FRIEND.
YOU'RE TELLING THEM LOOK AT
THIS.
THIS.
THIS. I
THIS. I HAVE THIS NEW PRODUCT.
WHEN YOU COME AND TRY IT OUT.
IT IS REALLY COOL.
COMMERCIAL IS A NICE MIXTURE
BETWEEN NATURAL VOICEOVERS AND
THE COMMERCIAL SALES A VOICE
THAT IS TRYING TO SELL YOU
SOMETHING.
SOMETHING. BUT PEOPLE PSYCHOLOGICALLY
REACT BETTER WHEN THEY FEEL
ENGAGED AND I FEEL THE PERSON
IS TALKING TO THEM AS A FRIEND
OR IN A MORE NATURAL
CONVERSATIONAL TONE.
CONVERSATIONAL TONE. THE REST WAS REALLY NICE.
SHE WAS USING HER NORMAL
NATURAL TONE OF VOICE.
THAT WAS REALLY NICE AND I
REALLY LIKED IT.
I THINK WITH A LITTLE BIT OF
PRACTICE AND LETTING HER
PERSONALITY FLOW IN AND APPEAR,
I THINK IT WOULD BE -- SHE
COULD BE A GREAT VOICEOVER
ARTIST.
ARTIST.
ARTIST. >> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. WE APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE
TIME ALL THE WAY FROM COLUMBIA.
ONE LAST QUICK QUESTION.
WHAT IS ONE PIECE OF ADVICE YOU
WOULD GIVE TO SOMEONE WAS
WATCHING TODAY WHO SAYS I WANT
TO KNOW MORE AND SEE.
MAYBE I COULD BECOME A VOICE
ARTIST AS WELL.>> ONE PIECE OF
ADVICE IS REALLY PRACTICE.
VOICEOVER IS A MATTER OF
DISCIPLINE AND PRACTICE.
I AM THE KIND OF PERSON THAT
BELIEVES THAT EVERYTHING A
PERSON AND THE WORLD CAN BE A
VOICEOVER ARTIST.
VOICEOVER ARTIST.
