Comment on Successful Performance in The Audition Process

Bobbin Beam — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 23:38:56 GMT

Hi Amy,
I've done Yoga and it's excellent. Pilates also. Lately I've been into walking about 2 miles daily, which helps me to sleep well and oxygenate the blood. Of course, rest is a very good thing. And combatting stress is a constant challenge. The daily voiceover exercise routine really helps me. That too can sometimes be a challenge to maintain, but I find I do better with it, than on days when I "blow it off".
All The Best,
Bobbin

"Controlling tension" is so important, and my biggest current challenge! I'm thinking of taking up yoga to help me learn to relax on cue...

I love your workout routine. I do something similar, but with much less regularity. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks so much, Bobbin. I'm delighted to know about howjsay.com. This will come in handy when I run into a technical term I'm not familiar with. You have a great blog. Thanks a million.

Hi Bobbin,

If you've got an iPodTouch or phone, howjsay also has an app that you can put on your device! Yeah, you're right, it's a very cool and helpful site.

Cheers...

Hi Christina,
I used to sing in a band and just for fun, and think it would be a good thing to take singing lessons again. I think it could open up my range and help me with my voiceover work. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
Best,
Bobbin

I agree that it's important to warm up the entire body not just the voice. I have a set of vocal warm ups that I do which I learned from a voice therapist. I also sing so I do scales as part of my warm ups.

Comment on The Big Game: Of Voiceover

Whats a good game without a great commentary? Can you imagine watching a spectator sport like basketball on tv without it? Even a round of golf is made more exciting by the hushed voice of the host. Great article, Bobbin!

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Perry,
It was a great voiceover coaching experience with Marice, and our group dynamics seemed to make the weekend even more special. It was wonderful to connect with you & I hope our paths will cross again.
Best,
Bobbin
