How do we know what people actually want? We kind of don’t, we have to bring our own interpretation then allow iteration

• Direction is useful, as is asking questions
• Experience builds this up
• Interrogate the script

What do those words mean:

• Vocal choices (pitch, placement, modulation, control)
• Delivery choices (pace, volume, mic technique)
• Acting choices (feelings, imagery, thoughts, subtext)
• Genre specific

It’s a starting place - things often change
Share your weirdest direction
What’s YOUR definition?
What do people tell you your voice sounds like?

Today we are talking the good talk on acting! If you have listened to us in the past you will know that to be a voice over artist, you have to be an actor. Simply having a good voice and the ability to read is not enough. 
So we are going to continue or chat on acting! It is such a massive conversation and we thought best to do a second episode.
Now if you are just joining us now, last episode we talked about…

• Its much more than just having a nice voice
• You don’t have to be an actor to get into voice over but at some point, you will need to do some learning and building an acting skill set
• Making choices as an actor, we need to think about the emotions and subtext and stakes.
• We talked about being an actor means playing and being vulnerable, stripping away our protective mechanisms to allow ourselves to play

SAG-AFTRA has recently announced an agreement for performers with Replica (an interactive studio). There are a lot of opinions across the board on this brand new agreement and on AI in general. However, the fact is that this agreement is something we should be educated on and discussing as it is setting precedence in our industry even if you do not live in the US or work on video games. Lets listen as the Good Talkers tell us about their opinions on this agreement. In "Sounds I Cant Make" the Goodtalkers take on David Bowie from a viral Tik Tok.

DISCLAIMER:Before we begin, we need to run a disclaimer that we do not represent either Replica or SAG-AFTRA nor are we giving legal advice. We are not lawyers! We are just three voice actors and one awesome producer who care deeply about our industry and have opinions to share.

Also, if you don’t know what we are talking about, please go ahead and read the Replica agreement that is available online. Or, if you find it difficult to understand contractual language, please go ahead and listen to Katie Sikkema and her 5 part instagram reel on what the agreement actually says. It is hugely helpful!
