Voice Over Tip: William Shatner’s Voice Over Outtakes

May 16, 2008

William Shatner as Captain Kirk

He sure is full of Shat.

This is something that’s infamously been out for a while now but I found it online and thought it was too classic to not share here. Enjoy!

This is sort of a non-cap content.

By the way, Shatner’s reaction is pretty extreme and classless. Though I personally only reserve line readings as solely a last resort tactic, most of the actors I’ve worked with in the past not only don’t mind line readings, they ask for it. Then again I think you have to prove yourself over time directing actors and earning their trust before they feel comfortable enough to trust your opinions.

Any actors out there with any opinions on this?

Happy Friday!

Voice Over Tip: Another Voice Over Outtake

May 15, 2008

Rated M for Mature

Poor guy loses his mind trying to book a voice over job.

Look, one of the most difficult challenges in voice over is the dreaded superfast legal read. It could make otherwise sane, mature, grown ass adults lose their friggin’ minds.

Remember that scene in Sideways where Wings’ “Lowell” did the quick legal read for that chick from Candyman?

The voice over legal read is not always this easy.

Enjoy.

P.S. BTW, lest you think that I was making fun of Sideways, I LOVE Sideways! Great film. Alexander Payne is a major pimp in the filmmaking game.
