Course Overview

Transform yourself with Authentic Narration Voiceover

Authentic Narration Voiceover is taught by Dave Bisson, A Chicago-based full-time voice artist who’s lent his voice to hundreds of TV, radio, & digital commercials, as well as industrial narrations, video games, toys, IVR, & just about every other form of VO except audiobooks (aside from his own).

Narration VO auditions typically demand a voice that is “friendly” & “welcoming”, as well as being “an authority” or “an expert.” This can be difficult when your script calls for you to discuss “the formation of malondialdehyde and conjugated diene compounds, which are cytotoxic and mutagenic.” Don’t forget to sound like an expert!

In this course, you will learn how to approach any Narration script and, by answering a few questions, find a voice that is authentic, conversational, friendly, & confident.

Additionally, this course will deal with all the traps and pitfalls Narration scripts can contain that are sabotaging your authentic voice without you even realizing it.

    ________________________________________________________

    Are you a voice actor trying to book more commercial VO jobs?

    Maybe you’ve been told by a talent agent that you need a commercial demo reel to be represented by them.

    Or maybe you hear again and again to “be conversational” but aren’t sure how to get there.

    In this book and companion audiobook, Voiceover Coach Dave Bisson will give you a tried-and-true method to find your natural conversational sound for any commercial voiceover script. In Authentic Commercial Voiceover, you will learn:

    - The approach Dave personally used to realize his dream of becoming a full-time voice artist of almost 10 years and counting

    - The 2 root causes as to why your reads are sounding “presentational” “fake” or “salesy”

    - How to break down any commercial script to find your friendly, conversational, confident read

    - Exercises you can do to experience facility and mastery of commercial VO reads

    - Ways to avoid the churn of doing take after take, trying to “nail the read”

    Authentic Commercial Voiceover gives aspiring voice actors the tools they need to master commercial copy, helping them realize their dreams of becoming a full-time voiceover talent.
