Hello world
Hello world, this is the content with media reate names for your characters and write down the traits that are unique to them. Naming them will help you remember who they are so you can go back to them easily. You can use descriptive names like “Valley Girl” or you can give your characters specific names. If you have multiple Southern accents for example, like a deep south, a country hillbilly, and a Southern Belle, you can name them Dixie, Mary Sue, and Caroline, for example. Doing this helps you decipher between similar characters.
Lastly, have fun, practice, and OWN IT! Have fun playing with your character voices. You can even have them talk to each other so you can switch back and forth between characters quickly. Dig deep and own those character voices. These are voices that you created and that are unique to you. You may think you’re overacting, but with character voices, it’s okay to go over the top a little bit.
Having a list of character voices in your wheelhouse makes it easy to pull out something unique and strong at just the right moment. Whether it’s part of the voice-over work you’re doing, a request from the client, or you just want to liven up a piece with a unique spin, having a voice-over character library in your back pocket is always a great tool for any voice-over artist to have.
