Timed Auditions: Why Storytelling Is More Important Than the Clock
Timed auditions can feel stressful, especially when the script seems too long for the specs. But here’s the thing—you don’t book the job by racing the clock. You book it by telling the story with confidence, clarity, and connection.


The Power of Concluding Your Thoughts in a Script Read

Voiceover isn’t about speeding through lines—it’s about telling a story your listener can follow. Learn why intentional pauses and pacing are key to creating authentic, engaging reads.


Don't Fake Your Way Through a Script
Don’t fake your way through a script—interpret it first. Understanding the message and intent behind the words leads to an authentic read.


Why the Word “A” Might Be Hurting Your Voice Over Performance
In voiceover, the key to authenticity is in focusing on the noun or object that follows “a”—not the article itself. Learn why “uh” is your secret weapon for a smoother, more engaging read.


Sound More Authentic in Your Podcast
