Hello audio creatives - 'ow do?
I (excitedly) caught up with three very busy and brilliant AWARD WINNING PRO VOICE ACTORS about not being a newbie anymore -and we explore the good the bad and the noise reduction of being a feisty working VA.
Thank you SO MUCH to my Wonderful guests:
- Karim Kronfli
- Marta Da Silva
- Margaret Ashley
Herein we find out how ridiculous a warm up sounds in an interview podcast, and what these wonderful folks have done to get where they re today!
Though there be a squeaky chair,
We discuss:
** Why we persevere in this industry
** Hurray for actors of a certain age
** Inspiration for working in audio
** Why amdram groups are groovy
** Auditioning top tips
** Fave tech Tools
** How once upon a time you sent recorded tape through the post to folks for auditions!
** Etiquette and tips for studio rec and home rec setups
** Why tenacity and begging for work are groovy things!
** How smaller parts lead to bigger ones!
** Cold emailing - why not!?
** When these folks realised they had made it as a VA
** Developing the technical craft of acting
** What actor training and coaching is important
** Check Bluesky, Insta, Linked in, Tumblr, CCC, Backstage for work
** Careful to check the pedigree of projects you audition for
** Why TAFCON and HUBFEST are groovy things
** Why production companies need to make themselves findable
** Paper script etiquette (or…just get an iPad and i-annotate!)
** Using AI in this space….(no fighting)…and how they can help
** BRILLIANT TRAINING COURSES AND FOLKS TO WORK WITH
** Why doing speed reading is amazing helpful
** Why you should tell my guests they are awesome, and share, rate and review this show! THANK YOUP
