For those that have asked, we've added the list of equipment to the video's description. Enjoy!

Good job! Lots of great tips. I'm brand new at this (0 books so far), so this is all gold for me. “Sometimes I can’t feel it until I listen back to it.” I can relate to that.

I am so very happy I found this video.

I really appreciated the read she did...that he kept reminding her "talk to me" was really helpful.

A great video with very good advice. Perhaps ACX should listen to Jeffery Kafer's advice and remove the 50-100PFH choice. When you calculate the actual prep, narrating and post production time, it's less than minimum wage.

That was so helpful! I updated my profile on ACX even before this video was done. Thanks!

Love the tips here, making the read more conversational is good to know, what to name your samples, that's gold!! 👌🏼👌🏼Networking is hard when your not from main hubs though 😩

What would you recommend for a new beginner who wants to get into the industry of narration? What would you suggest we put in our profile?

@MikeG-js1jt 4 жыл бұрын

I just listened to her four samples on ACX and there is not a darn thing wrong with her audio....of course however, I dont know if that audio was put up there and created after this video and the studio update...?

I love Apple computers! TwistedWave is my favorite DAW for Mac OS. The rest of the hardware and techniques are the same.

Great episode! But I have to agree with many others that you encourage us to charge $250+ pfh minimum but then allow RH on the site to post for 50$ pfh. Please stop encouraging this from the RH and change the minimum to reflect the real minimums we need. Other than that you all are wonderful. Thank you.

Over all the boys actress did very well I think she changed her voice with another character but still she dips her voice down for first person

@kelliereviews5341 3 жыл бұрын

I know when the the actress The Voice artist is talking one-on-one with the the coach she raises her voice but when she is reading for the piece in the first person she dips her voice down.
