I read some more blog posts and looked up a few books that I could read on voice over (aka voice acting). I decided to get some audio down. I transcribed the beginning of a great demo I found on SoundCloud (Anthony Gettig Commercial Voiceover Demo by anthonygettig). Then I recorded a bit of me doing it in GarageBand. I uploaded it to SoundCloud.
VO Trial - Day 3 - Commercial Voiceover Demo by Jeremy Barth
The main problem I think I have so far is a lack of pitch variance. My highs aren't high enough specifically. It takes the excitement out.
As soon as I had GarageBand ready to record, I realized something that I hadn't considered before. I was extremely self-conscious about doing the voice. Its not even a different voice than mine, but I had to wait until Angela left. I could barely get more than a couple of takes. I need to get over that.
