Living in a world of competition is living a world of slippery slopes, you’ll walk, you’ll run, you’ll climb then you’ll fall. That’s how the world goes and that’s how the wheels turn, it may sound cliché but the world is round, you may be on top for now but you will eventually go down.
Truth be told, our lives doesn’t last forever. Our lives lie on our experiences for having experience takes as to many good opportunities… BUT what if I don’t want to fall? What if I don’t want to go down? How can I have lots of experiences enough for me to have many good opportunities? Back then, these are the questions I ask myself.
After all the seminars I’ve been through, the voice in my head answered. She told me that the answer to my questions is simple, I just need to practice, use different techniques and establish a brand then, that’s it. Simple steps that will lead me to exceptional outcome.
Practice.
As a voice artist, every practice is a learning process. Every practice is a step closer to being perfect. I don’t want to fall nor want to go down, I’d rather sweat blood by practicing than regret not doing so.
My job requires a good voice and a clear pronunciation thus I practice by reading simple scripts and doing tongue twisters. More than that, I also mimic commercials I see or hear, and I record myself to get used to what I sound in a recording. This is how I practice, simple but effective.
Techniques.
I use various techniques such as using facial expressions and gestures, practicing empathy to my character and using human sound effects.
Using various techniques is essential for these techniques makes a huge difference and contributes to my overall performance.
Establish a brand.
The one of the most important things is establishing a brand. This is crucial, for this is the representation of yourself. In making a brand there are few things that you need to accomplish and these are knowing your vision, create your logo and develop your signature voice.
After establishing your brand, after practicing ang being familiar with the techniques, make people crave your vibes and remember you mark. Keep in mind to love your work for people to love it too.
With love and energy,
Jari V
