Module 8 - Microphone Technique

Question 1

As a professional Voiceover Artist working in the gaming industry, you should be aiming to achieve: (5 answers)

Answer 1

1. Dialogue with no plosives or popping. This destroys the illusion for the listener.
2. A clean ‘in’ point without lip-smacks and attached breath.
3. Consistent, projected dialogue with a performance-level delivery.
4. a good hydrated voice, with no (or very few) mouth clicks.
5. Humanised dialogue that is not just ‘read’ but instead has life breathed into it.

Yes well done. You’ve got all those right. Remember, a good performance is 70% of being a good voice in gaming. Getting called back is as much to do with your professionalism and technique (the other 30%) as it is to do with your performance.
