ABSTRACT

Think of style as performers' unique approach to interpretation and delivery, and think of technique as the tools of their trade. Performers' natural speaking style is a reflection of how their perceive themselves, and it may change from moment to moment as they move from one situation to another. Performance dynamics are the fundamental elements of vocal variety and lay at the heart of any voiceover performance. Diction is directly related to articulation, the clarity of performers’ delivery, the correct pronunciation of words, and the sound of a character’s voice. One of the most common challenges when working with a script is to determine the proper delivery speed and vocal variety. It is through the mastery and application of specific skills and techniques that a performer’s unique style and business acumen is developed over time.
