Quick tip to improve your voice over performance.
So today I want to talk about the importance of setting the scene.
So a lot of times we are given specs for our auditions about how the casting director wants the spot to sound conversational, speaking to your best friend. Then we set our scene, but a lot of times we set the scene where we are starting the scene ourselves. And when we start the scene ourselves, that is almost like a precedent-setting monologue. Meaning, I am in the scene now, and I'm going to start talking to you, versus having a scene set where we enter the scene, or maybe we're a part of the scene and things are already happening so that when we voiced those very first words, we need to be reacting to that scene and not just speaking a monologue.
