Right now you are my hero and my benefactor. Your videos are truly educating me. I am creating an instructional series on RU-vid. I am totally new at this and am making all the mistakes in filming, narrating and editing. To make matter worse, I'm dealing with "old lady voice" because I'm an old lady. This video will help me overcome the problems I've had with reading, even though I've written the scripts. Thanks for your wonderful lessons.

@laminedconde6275 Год назад

You’re a genius. Thanks for giving me a clearer path to correct my mistakes when I read. Speaking English as a second language, it’s hard for no native English speaker to sound good in reading out louder. Any more advice will be great!

“If you can’t get through 30 seconds of voiceover copy” [obvious cut-and-splice] “you’re going to have a great deal of difficulty reading an entire book.”

@lytnin88 3 года назад

I didn't notice the "obvious cut-and-splice." Or were you just trying to be funny?

@genobambino 3 года назад

1:00

@PaulMcCannWebBuilder 2 года назад

You also see it when he's talking about stumbling and going back to fix the words at 7:40 These splices might just be edit points where breaths are removed.

@ayomideomolodun7973 8 месяцев назад

This hit me. And makes so much sense.

@jameswoodard4304 8 месяцев назад

I think the problem is that he/the editor are operating based on a Voice Over mindset rather than RU-vid video creation. In VO, people try to get perfectly clean audio and will cut-and-splice to remove the inevitable loud/long breath, pauses, etc. But for YT video content, naturalism in communication is at least as important as precision, if not more so. So, splices that would normally make sense in VO are unnecessary and distracting on YT. Also, it's harder to get a clean splice on video than audio. In audio, the material (sound) is naturally coming and going, starting and stopping, and you can plug the pieces together like legos. But visual media is a steady stream. So, unless you happen to physically blink at the right time, it's impossible to miss a visual edit. I think they are just editing YT videos with too much of a VO mindset. And yes, it's ironic and kind of funny.

@jazznutz 2 года назад

Guess what? I'm doing my first paid audiobook and can't get through 30 seconds of copy without making a mistake!! It's a grind. I appreciate the tip on keeping your eyes and mouth in sync by following along. I'm not really dyslexic but feel like it. Your description of what it eyes do helped to clarify. Thank you!

@AlisoCreekVoiceOver 2 года назад

For audiobooks you should consider using the "punch and roll" recording technique. I'm producing a video on "punch and roll". It really speeds up audiobook production.

@jazznutz 2 года назад

@@AlisoCreekVoiceOver Thank you, I just finished my first book and got pretty good at lunch and roll. I was taught the clicker method so to some adjusting. I do think it's faster.

@AlisoCreekVoiceOver 2 года назад

@@jazznutz With the "clicker method" you have to go entirely through the material again 1-2 times. With punch and roll you end up with a clean take after one pass. In audiobooks we only remove the initial breath in each chapter bu leave the other breaths. So punch and roll reduces the production time by a factor of three. Very important with a 10-hour book!

@manojjrkhiara240 3 года назад

It was really informative. Love from India.

@tenaciousstudios03051 Год назад

I usually don't have any voice-over copy to read from when I'm doing my indie voice-overs, so I ab-lib my lines as I record what I'm improvising, so I'm basically giving myself plenty of leeway to go back and fix a line I phrased improperly or something like that.

@CRMayerCo 4 года назад

Thanks. 👍🏻

@globalfunseeker6733 2 года назад

The biggest problem performing voice overs is the person's voice. I have a raspy, deep voice that is ill-suited for this type of work. No matter how many times I try, it pains me to hear myself. And continuing on after making a mistake has never worked for me because the second time around my voice is always different. So, I have to rerecord the entire copy. I wish there was software available that would allow you to alter your voice. I've tried changing the pitch in Audacity, but it hasn't helped enough. Thanks for your informative videos, I enjoy watching them.

@-whiskey-4134 3 года назад

I always mess up reading aloud when I over think it and focus too hard lol when I dont think about it it flows naturally. It messes me up when I start to record because I end up putting in too much effort rather than just having fun with it and I have to remind myself to be more animated and try new things.

@dakkopec3877 2 года назад

I've just watched a couple of hours of useless rubbish about VO and I was prepared to dislike this video, but I LOVED IT! Finally someone who genuinely provided good tips and information without the judgy demotivating opinions, or the Blah Blah.. I'm so great... Blah Blah! I'm not a kid, nor am I looking for a career change. I only want to pursue my pet projects and do as good as I can. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for being a good guy and giving me some good information and tools to work with.

@stanmanmedia 3 года назад

You are excellent man.. and the quality of the video and sound on these videos is proof in the pudding. Do you have a good reference for editing vocal voice over type audio. I know there is a great deal out there, but I watched your video on using normalization last, but do you have other such videos that go through some good basic editing of spoken word audio. I can do it already, but I'm sure not as well as you, as I can hear how great your sound is on these videos. If you have none, can you point me to another's video? Thanks!!

@StanTheBland 2 года назад

I can obviously read on an average level in terms of just keep it in my head, although whenever I try to read out loud it's almost as if I'm trying to predict the next sentence or I skip a word

@AlisoCreekVoiceOver 2 года назад

Stan, that's because we don't read letter by letter or even word by word. We actually read in phrases of words and we often "guess" what the phrase is rather than reading the exact phrase. As an an example suppose the copy says "a half an hour". We might say "a half hour" (no "an") or "half an hour" (no "a"). The best way to fix this is to point to each word with your finger as you read to force your eyes-and your voice- to see and speak each word. I hope this helps. William

@dragonchr15 2 года назад

So true. I tried reading a few pages of a novel out loud....I was so exhausted after 20 minutes and was missing words, etc.

@TechieSewing Год назад

This video is brilliant and I haven't seen it addressed before. The things like what software or format are you reading from, do you use text formatting to mark the pauses and emphases, how narrow to make a window to stop that eye jumping thing, and the things you've covered about how to actually stop jumping. I'm using a teleprompter app, it helps me to stay on the line a bit better but I'm going to methodically try all the advice from this video. Reading aloud is a skill I need to work on. The title could be more specific and more inticing though, I have watched it and struggled to find it in my watch history afterwards ;)

@AlisoCreekVoiceOver 2 года назад

O wad some Pow'r the giftie gie us; To see oursels as ithers see us! - Robert Burns. The tricky thing about voice over is that you can create any character: old or young, hero or villain. But you are unique in the world. Don't try to "be" Homer Simpson. They already have one. Be yourselves and let others chase your unique sound. And yes, it takes a long time to "objectify" yourself, to hear what that amazing quality you have that nobody else in the world has. If you read the comments you'll occasionally see someone say about me "I love this guys voice!". I still can't hear what it is that they are hearing. I know when my performance is accurate and professional. But I have no clue what the listener is hearing in the actual quality of my voice. Coaches will say, "just be yourself". But that's like looking in the mirror and deciding if you're good looking. Great performers finally figure out what their "thing" is (think De Niro for example). But it's a struggle. In a way you have to "disappear to yourself" to finally let go and find yourself. Thanks for the comment. William

Running in to a similar problem when reading sales script. The flow and how I would present legal disclaimer have nothing in common. Specifically "I have a question" does not flow with "this call is being recorded..." Not sure how to make both ends meet and not be a robot.
