    Increasingly, my voiceover work is done from home – and so many others in this business (and others, I know) are finding the same trend affecting them. Very cool to send files to India (what’s the time difference again?), but also so nice to work in my own back yard – which in this case includes Connecticut, New York and parts

    Faffcon attendees twice so far!
    of Massachusetts. Real human beings – woo hoo!

    That’s only one of the reasons I am a devoted faffcon junkie. Having attended two out of two so far, and planning to be there at the upcoming Faffcon in September, I know how it recharges my batteries in so many areas: continued learning

    We are learning to breathe, not out cold!
    about our craft, great business sparks, and – most of all – feeling like a part of the VO community. Online is great but it’s hard to hear the laughter. LOL is nice, but truly laughing so much your stomach hurts – in a good way? Well, you know…priceless.

    In person connection – never underestimate.

    Randye Kaye Voice Over

    Randye Kaye Voice Over

    As a coach with Edge studios in NYC and CT, and as a voice over professional for over 20 years (I was pregnant, wanted to keep acting!),  I find a lot of “newbies” not only freeze their bodies in the booth before they learn to relax, focus, and have fun – but their faces as well.  Try recording yourself at home with no facial expression, then with a smile, but don’t stop there.  What if you raise your eyebrows? Widen your eyes? Look puzzled? Scrunch up your nose?  Tighten your mouth and seethe with anger?  If the camera knows what you’re thinking (and it does), then the microphone knows what your are doing- and feeling.  Have fun!
