She;s got personality babe!
So often as voice actors we are asked many ways to read and deliver copy. “Can this sound more comedic, more directive, more approachable?” I think one of my more favorable vocal qualities is how you can make your voice sound more authentic.
I think before you dive to deep into the copy, the best way to bring out more authenticity is to make the read more personable. I tend to think as if Im speaking to a family member or a friend. If this is a commercial read, I always like to figure out who the commercial is directed to, who is the company trying to reach. Even better? Think of someone specific – your friend Sarah or your Dad and speak directly to them. The read will automatically sound more authentic and at ease.
Happy recording!
