It's sink, or swim for me im afraid as I have never used my voice in this capacity. But im hopeful that my top reading skills will give me some advantage when it comes to flow, and character changes. As an avid reader i can say that ive done alot of voice over acting, only in my head! (I hope that makes sense.) What i mean is, whenever im reading, i find myself imagining and then imitating how the character would sound if spoke aloud! Now ill just have to use their voice, with mine out loud!
When I was in school my classmates would always want me to read if the teacher was looking for someone to take over because they appreciated the fact that i didnt stumble over my words, that I read at a well pace, and I spoke clearly, with great punctuation, and with a voice that wasnt too quiet, or meek. They never had to strain to listen & i never gave them a chance to be annoyed by stumbling or mumbling like they did with other reader..I suspect that it was my smooth pace and rhythm that helped insure that more pages of material could be covered in class, and less at home that they really liked! Whatever it was, I know that those skills will come help me read any material thrown my way so that I can begin the recording process and complete assignments accurately and before deadlines.
