Question by : What is the best Web Design book to learn from?
If the answer is multiple then list the best ones you know. I’m not looking to learn quick, and I know how “easy” it is to learn from the internet but I am a lot more comfortable learning from a text book and plan on putting my heart and soul into this. I’m currently majoring in web design and kinda want my own bible of webdesign to reference. I’m looking for anything that explains dhtml or the general design rules of websites. Thank everyone in advance! I truly appreciate it.

Voice Over Training Guide For Voiceover Actors

elyciadesign — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 01:15:30 +0000

A voice actor essentially works harder than a Hollywood superstar. It’s real challenging for him to show feelings and emotions while reading, fully knowing that he will not be seen on the screen. He must get into the skin of the character and pump life into the dialogues. It is in this area where voice over training is essential.

Voice over training aids voice actors understand the craft and find gainful employment in a growing area. Thousands of animated TV shows, cartoons, radio advertisements, web shows and movies are produced on a regular basis. Moreover, each movie/TV show has a cast of more than 20-30 characters. There are global opportunities galore for a voice actor.

Voice over training course – the basic skills that you ought to have

Diction is one of the most important tools of the trade. The student must have perfect enunciation and therefore must attend speech classes to get his diction right. Every voice over actor has two roles to fulfill – “lending voice” and “acting.” So, fantastic diction is not enough to begin voice over training – the student must also enroll in an acting course before joining the voice over course.

What’s taught in a voiceover training course

Analyzing and interpreting commercial copy for announcer and real-person roles are learned by the student. Interpreting narrative copy, as well as technical copy, are learned as well. Students learn to coordinate the mind, mouth and voice effectively, so that they may be able to sound really true to the personality they are playing. Taking direction is also learned by the student.

A great voice actor training course makes students read, record, play back, listen, and then do it all over again until they get it right. Students learn tactics such as inflection, timing and articulation. They perform warm-ups and vocal exercises as well. They understand how to maintain their vocal fitness. Half-way into the voice over training course, students become adept at using and adjusting tone, pitch, delivery speed and volume for a variety of jobs.

Once a student completes the training, he learns how to market his skills, tap proper contacts, and land voice over work. The course instructors also help them produce a voice over demo for their portfolio. A solid voice over training program provides students the opportunity to work in a real studio and fully grasp what they must and shouldn’t do in a sound booth and when behind the microphone.

Selecting a voice over training course

There are two facets to voice training. Students who are attracted in selling must opt for a commercial voice over course. Commercial voice overs are employed for selling. Several of the areas that call for this type of voice overs are radio ads, TV advertisements, phone and other media features. Selling skills are also covered by a voice over course considering that all commercial voice overs sell a service or a product. This program does not cover acting skills. If a student is interested in showbiz, then he should opt for dubbing and a movie or TV voice over course. Such courses require lip-synching, and so the voice over actor has to learn acting skills too.

To end, all the world’s a stage and we must play a part. So, if you wish to play your part as a voice actor, enroll for a well-known voice actor training program and learn how to raise your voice.
