Just like a carpenter needs a hammer and nails, a voice actor needs the perfect toolkit to bring characters to life.Here's a rundown of the must-have equipment and software every voice actor should consider:1️⃣ Microphone: Invest in a high-quality microphone to capture the nuances of your voice. Look for a microphone with good sensitivity and low noise levels to ensure crystal-clear recordings.2️⃣ Headphones: A good pair of headphones is essential for monitoring your recordings. Opt for closed-back headphones to minimize sound leakage and ensure accurate playback.3️⃣ Pop Filter: Reduce plosive sounds like "p" and "b" by using a pop filter. This simple accessory can make a big difference in the quality of your recordings.4️⃣ Acoustic Treatment: Set up your recording space with acoustic treatment to minimize echoes and unwanted noise. This can include acoustic panels, foam, or even blankets to create a more controlled environment.5️⃣ Recording Software: Choose recording software that suits your needs and budget. Popular options include Adobe Audition, Audacity, and Pro Tools. Experiment with different software to find the one that works best for you.6️⃣ Script Management Software: Keep your scripts organized and easily accessible with script management software. This can help streamline your workflow and ensure you're always prepared for your next recording session.7️⃣ Voiceover Booth or Portable Sound Booth: If possible, invest in a dedicated voiceover booth or portable sound booth to create a professional recording environment. This can help minimize background noise and ensure high-quality recordings.By assembling the right toolkit, you'll be well-equipped to take your voice acting career to new heights.

Australian Voice Over. Boosting your audience engagement: commercials, corporate video, medical narration, eLearning, IVR and more, from my pro home studio.
Looking for the best #voiceover for YOUR #video project? Here's how to make sure the right voice actors are seeing your listing and interested enough to audition:1. In your listing title, use keywords describing the actual voice you need, eg "Australian female age 40-50" or "male 30-40, natural London accent". Titles like "voice for company video" don't mean anything to a voice actor and don't contain keywords a #voiceactor would have in their profile, so we're likely to skip over it or not see it at all.2. Define your budget (or budget range), and make sure it's a good one. If you don't know the industry, search for voiceover rate guides and find the appropriate range for the type of project you're doing. A professional budget will attract professional talent.3. Provide an easy to read script sample. More than once, I've noped out of an audition listing because of a poorly-formatted or strangely-named script file. Frankly, I don't want to waste time downloading a hard to understand file, and it makes me a little suspicious of the client's professionalism. The best way is to copy and paste a section of your script into the designated section of your listing.Voice actors can get super busy with auditions, and most #castingsites prioritise speed/order of response, so audition listings that create extra work for us or don't come across super professional are likely to be ignored by the more picky voice talent (those are the ones you want for your project!)#VideoProducers or VO's - got any more tips for using online casting sites?

When preparation meets opportunity 🤝🏼 Here's how it played out for me...Recently, I received a call from the brilliant team at ShareStory—they wanted me as the lead for a commercial with one of their major clients (YAY). But here’s the kicker: for the voiceover, we’d be recording at 3p Studio! What Sharestory didn’t know was that recording at 3P was right at the top of my goals list for this year!After two incredible days filming, it was finally time to get into the studio. Walking into the booth felt like stepping into audio heaven. Like our previous days on set, the session was seamless, collaborative, and just good old fun! All thanks to the creative wizard Samuel Dunstan, top-notch producer Andrew Barnes, and the audio expert Wiaan Van Der Westhuizen. Together, we knocked it out of the park in under an hour, and everyone was stoked (especially me—I’d just ticked off a major 2024 goal!).So, why was recording at 3P such a big deal for me? They’re not just any studio—they’re one of the best in the biz and consistently recognised for their work. And here’s a little extra: being a self-represented voiceover artist recording in one of Brisbane’s top studios is kinda rare. Regardless if you're repped or not, if you can do the job, you belong in the big studios.Thanks again to ShareStory for trusting me with this role and helping me tick off a goal. More BTS to come for this job!Now onto the next goal 😏#voiceover #voiceacting #studiorecording #professionalgrowth #Brisbanevoiceover #careergoals

How do actors captivate audiences? 🎭3 #PublicSpeaking tips from their toolbox: 🧰Just like actors, #speakers must learn to command the stage and engage their audiences. Here are three ideas to elevate your #speeches from mundane to captivating:1️⃣ Use a team to help you prepare 🤝: Good actors don’t merely pretend, they embody a character. They are supported by a team of professionals: the playwright, stage director, fellow actors, and technicians. As a speaker, invite others into your process. Ask for advice from a mentor or a friend. Small changes can make a huge difference in #communicating your ideas. 🎯2️⃣ Practice stage presence 🎬: Acting is highly physical. Actors keep the audience on the edge of their seats via the tension of their bodies. Speakers can learn stage presence as well. It’s more than keeping eye contact. It’s about using the expressiveness of your body, mind, and soul onstage in a manner that compels the audience’s attention. 👀3️⃣ Play with pace 🎼: Pay attention to how actors use vocal pauses, allowing the #audience to digest what has been said. Vary your speaking pace in a way that conveys the points you are making. Plan your gestures and words, then plan your pauses and stage movements. This will give your presentation a natural flow. 🌊The way you deliver your speech can be as impactful as the content itself. Have you already though of turning your speeches into more of a #engaging performances? 💬
