· Read out loud every day – anything and everything
You don't really need to do those rather boring vocal exercises, the real thing is much better.
· Record your voice – use your phone your pc
Got a smart phone - you've got a high quality recording device.
· Move emotions – put feeling and care into your practice
Understand the work, the emotion and the reason the script was written.
· Play your work back, could you do better?
But don't beat yourself up - be constructive in your own criticism.
· BUT don’t beat yourself up!
Did I mention don't beat yourself up, few voice-over artists are totally happy with their voice.
· Mimic ads on TV, Radio
Copy the real thing, use it but don't just steal it.
· De-construct what you hear on TV and Radio
Lend a critical ear to what you hear and see.
· Know your limitations!
At the same time understand what you are good at.
