A Talking Creative and Voiceover Social Podcast Special

In January 2022, Talking Creative and The Voiceover Social hosted a workshop: “How to Direct and Be Directed”.

A live event with an audience of voice actors, directors and producers.

This is the podcast from that workshop - part 1 anyway!

And the title says it all.

The original event was a panel discussion with audience Q&A about voice directing and how to get the best out of your voice actors, followed by a live directing session and breakout rooms.

This is part 1: the panel discussion - with added commentary from me, post event.

In this 50 minute episode we cover all kinds of practical stuff, including:

• How pre-planning makes the recording session run more smoothly
• Why music is such a brilliant addition
• How space can be your friend
• Active listening and how to layer a performance
• Finding alternatives to line reads

So if you've ever shied away from directing or thought - well what can I bring to the party, this is the episode for you.
