SCRIPTING for Voice-Over SUCCESS Artwork

VOICE POWER

I will be sharing my experience as a voice-over artist. Including: my beginning, determination to succeed, the importance of networking. Public speaking started early which created confidence, resulting in numerous successful voice related employment opportunities. My early experience at CHUB Radio, Nanaimo left a clear impression on the value of communication. The importance of communication and many early life opportunities along with positive voice comments, led to The Radio Program of BCIT in Burnaby BC. I have completed 94 projects with diversity. My experience of completed voice-over projects includes 50 Promo videos including 5 Vimeo Videos, 1 Kickstarter Video, & 44 YouTube Videos with 275,431 views and counting.

SCRIPTING for Voice-Over SUCCESS

August 26, 2021 • Earl Thomas "The VOICE" • Season 1 • Episode 13

Whether you are a business owner or not I will make this applicable for you. When you have a passion project or any personal project you are responsible for that you need to write a script for you will be able to convert the scripting principles to your personal needs.

It is exciting when a client sends their script for their voice project. It is vital to confirm that it is the finalized script as making changes to a script is more costly & time consuming. I would rather wait & be 100% certain that the script is finalized. Always be clear on costs when a client changes the script after it’s been finalized. Here is my Revision Policy from when I was subscribed to Voices.com 2 free revisions for mispronunciations, for pacing/tone & general feedback. For script changes $40 per sentence to a maximum of $85.

Each word is important & pronunciations are vital. I never take anything for granted if there is a chance that the pronunciation is uncertain. I will proof it by going into Youtube or Google for the correct pronunciations. I will use a syllable method of pronouncing the word. Take for example Similkameen Region I will put right in the script Sim-il-ki-mean, Similkameen Region.
