1 when the ultra demo came up, it jumpscared me 2 if I was trying to do a character demo, would 3 be fine? I’ve listened to a few people character demos, and 3 is usually what they do.

Hey Nastasia! I am so thankful to have found your channel. I have pages of notes on all the tips you provide and hope I can discover some new things and get the ball rolling in this field. Just now starting to get into Voice over as a hobby/side gig. We will see where it goes! Thank you for all your help and guidance!

Thanks for your videos, super helpful! When you discuss writing scripts for demo, does that mean we should never use the exact wording from existing commercials to demo with? I saw a top voiceover coach on KZfaq suggesting we do this but would you suggest we always write our own material for our demos?

I personally would have a separate reel for different languages. And the naming systems are different among different customers. I will have agents and clientele who have different naming systems. In general, have the basic title ("Game Demo", Audiobook Demo" "Commercial Demo") and then also include your name in the file name if you are sending them off to people.

There are jobs that sometimes prefer accents. Make sure to advertise both. In todays industry they often ask for specific ethnicities or backgrounds so you can use it to your advantage in many cases!

So I am a little confused is a demo supposed to be comprised of your past work or is it you creating your own script to demonstrate what you can do for a client/industry you would like to work for?
@nastasiamarquez6472
@nastasiamarquez6472 3 жыл бұрын
It can be either, if you have a large client and a real spot you did for them then that is great to showcase, otherwise many create demo's of what they are capable of.

I'm pretty sure back then I was using Audacity which is a free editing software. Now I use Adobe Audition which is $21 a month, and I would say the quality difference is noticeable. Adobe is a much better platform to process the audio.

It's a segment in your demo. Say you do a 1 minute demo of a commercial sryle. You might have 3 or 4 different types of styles you want to do. You might do 15 second segment of an upbeat commercial style or another 15 second segment of something more dramatic, and so on.

Hi Nastasia. Do you need a voice over teacher to become a voice over artist?
@nastasiamarquez6472
@nastasiamarquez6472 3 жыл бұрын
It depends on the person, some people just have "the voice" and sometimes agencies will actually prefer them to remain untrained to not impede their natural voiceover. However, it is useful for most people to get a voice over teacher at some point. You don't need one to start out, but it may help further down the line.
