- In this video, I seek YOUR help in finding what works best for me. I will record 4 different styles voiceover; Commercial, E Learning, IVR, and Video Narration and play them back for you to help me determine which style suits my voice the best. #voiceover #commercial #niche
People have been telling me to do voice over my whole life, and I was always hesitant. Watching you is motivating me and showing me that the journey is just as important as the end goal. I appreciate your transparency on this journey and not just showing us all the highlights of life
Man, it’s comments like this that keeps ME going. I’ve actually been feeling pretty discouraged lately and my next video will explain why. But knowing people appreciate seeing the struggles has been my best motivator. Thank you for this. 👍🏼
❤😊
As it stands right now, maybe narration might be the for now path? But I truly believe you can nail them all. I think once you fully realize the range/capabilities of your natural voice, you'll be a force to be reckoned with! For example, if you re-did the car advertisement, imagine you're telling a friend about how you took this amazing car out on a test drive. And it was the most smooth and incredible you've ever been on. YOU'RE GONNA TELL THAT STORYYYY BROTHER ahaha. Figure out the (who you're speaking too) and (how you're going to deliver the message). Keep up the amazing work dude! You inspire me to keep the dream alive!
@@Marcus04053 Incredible feedback! Thanks, Marcus. You’re 100% right that I didn’t have that in mind when I recorded this. I’ve honestly not yet taking any actual coaching yet so I’m still just flying blind with this. Thanks a ton for the encouragement! 🙏🏼
@@DayOneVoiceover I'd definitely recommend it if you haven't taken any as of yet! It helps shift your perspective and allows you to be a bit more critical and tackle the script from a different perspective. If you're not ready for it just yet, there's plenty of videos out there on finding your natural voice. Already looking forward to the next video! 🙏
@@Marcus04053 I’m definitely looking forward to proper coaching and I’ll definitely be sharing what I learn here on my channel. Thanks, Marcus!
I really like your editing! The first read sounded a little flat, but the others are good! I'm still learning how to let go and get bigger with my reads! So yes, the more conversational, explainer type reads are a good starting place.
PS - I was planning to document the process with my channel, too, but I've been way too inconsistent 😅
Harley, thanks for the comment and thanks for sharing your channel! How cool that we both had the same idea. You seem to be progressing quite well though! Best of luck going forward and I hope we can continue this climb!
I really like your original BMW commercial narration. Transferring that style of voice into this car commercial will really bring out your soothing style of voice
Thank you, Tom. I secretly like that one better also but didn’t want to complicate the video by bringing that one up again. However, this exercise has definitely taught me that I have a long way to go to be able to replicate that style on the fly. I still have a LONG way to go. Thanks a ton for the feedback though!!
You and me both man! It’s all part of the exciting process
Haven’t seen that one yet. Will check it out
This is great, my man. I'm a bit late on this. I realized I hadn't seen one of your vids lately, so I jumped over here. I was sure to hit the notification bell so I don't do that again😆 You are so real, I know you'll make it.
Haha it’s definitely interesting to put myself out there like this but I don’t think I’ll keep doing it until I’ve progressed with proper coaching.
I love that I came across your video😊
I’m literally just getting started myself and it’s comforting to see someone significantly ahead of me in the journey but not so far away that it looks far reaching.
I definitely am learning a few things, thank youuu
Km glad you enjoyed the video! This has definitely been quite a journey and it’s only the beginning. I hope you stick around for more videos as I keep making my way through this.
Súper!! I think your interpretation is currently suitable for comerciales, UA-cam videos and e-learning. But if you continue practicing, you may inlcude more different VO types in your portafolio.
I think off of what I heard I have to agree with the others here and say your voice is great for narrations, explainers, documentary, real person casual kind of voice over if that makes sense. It seems you will knock those kinda of voiceovers out the park. Either way you’re gonna do great at every niche if you put yourself in whether that’s commercials, character work or anything else!
Thank you, Anthony! I’m glad to hear a general consensus so far. Especially since it matches what, so far, feels most natural to me. I appreciate the feedback and encouragement! I’ll keep sharing as I learn and grow and keep welcoming any feedback. Thanks again!
@@DayOneVoiceover You’re welcome! It’s always nice to see other beginner va’s finding their voice, I look forward to the next videos
I'm new to VO. Thinking of narrating bilingual children's books as my niche. I speak English with American accent and Spanish with a Mexican accent.
Robert, where are you getting the video for your spots? Downloading from UA-cam? Thx!
Yes it’s just a screenshot from UA-cam. Nothing too fancy.
@@DayOneVoiceover Hi Robert. I was going to ask the same thing, as far as where you get your videos. Because I can't figure out how to save UA-cam videos. When I right-click on one, it doesn't give me an option to Save. And if I use the Download option, it just downloads it to a special section on UA-cam - not to my computer. So how exactly do you save yours to your computer?
@@christophers.1685 I use the screen recorder. The thing is, desktop and laptop computers seem to be finicky so I use either an iPad or iPhone. The screen recorders on iOS devices capture video and audio with no problem. Hope this helps!
@@DayOneVoiceover Thanks for the reply but I'm using Windows, so I'll have to keep looking for a solution. Thanks though.
@@christophers.1685 by the way, give it a shot on whatever phone you may be using. Honestly, the resolution you’d get on a phone screen-record is going to have enough resolution for most video editing purposes. Give it a shot.
IVR & Narration seem like a good place to start. Your voice vibe is friendly and the read is clear. Also, I agree with @Marcus04053 regarding learning the range and capabilities of your voice. Plus, working on breaking down scripts will also help with choosing how you deliver your reads. Great video as always!
@@SolariaLoranala I’m definitely looking forward to proper coaching when I get there. Thanks for the feedback. The marathons stuff definitely feels comfortable at the moment.
Let's talk. I also know a great coach for you and work with her. Even the best still work with their preferred coach.
Hell yeah. If you don’t mind, could you shoot me some info through my website? www.rv-vo.com Thanks!
I vote for option 5: Explainers for business, face optional :)
@@krakkus haha face optional?
@@DayOneVoiceover Yeah, I like you talking to the camera, that's the best part of your videos I've seen,!
@@krakkus oh cool! Thanks for that! That’s great feedback! 👍🏼
I think you have a really good voice for documentary narration, but that doesn’t mean that in the future (once you hone your) that you won’t grow to be great in other areas.
@@staciaonmovies I definitely feels comfortable doing the narrations. Thank you! 🙏🏼
