ABSTRACT

The techniques covered in this chapter are intended to help you quickly discover the most effective, or appropriate, choices for delivering a line of copy, a phrase, or an entire script. In other words, these are tools to aid you in developing your interpretation of a script. As you work with more and more copy, you will gradually develop a process through which you apply a variety of techniques to ultimately arrive at your performance. The process you develop, and the techniques you utilize, will have a direct effect on your overall performing style. Before you can begin to understand or apply a technique, you must have, at least, a basic understanding of the fundamental concepts that comprise the craft of performing for voiceover. Many of these core concepts have already been discussed. But when it comes to developing your individual, unique performing style, there are a few concepts that are essential.
