0659 – Specialised Scriptreading Skills

2022.10.21 – 0659 – Specialised Scriptreading Skills

This chapter is looking at the variety of scripts you may be asked to read as a voice actor and the specialised skills that are called for in those various styles.

They may be commercial or non-commercial and will be written and laid out differently because of the message, duration and intended audience. And what attracts you to, or will help you be good at one style or another, maybe the sound and quality of your voice and how you like to use it. For example, if you are naturally expressive then creating character voices may be of interest, in which case think of animation and video games work, as well as audiobooks. If you prefer a more natural or conversational style then maybe consider narration or e-learning. You can work across genres, but it’s best to start in an area that you’re most comfortable in.
