Improv Gives the Voice Actor a Toolbox of Choices

March 9, 2009 by: Tracy Pattin

In tomorrow’s Improv Roundtable podcast interview (part 3), I continue talking with Improv Expert, Bill Applebaum, Voice Over Teacher “The Voice Over Doctor” Bill Holmes, and the panel of students, Jackie Baxter, Dan Dennis and Bill Miltenberger about how improv gives the voice actor a competitive edge.

So how does improv give you that edge? Here are a few tips:

-The client LOVES Voice Actors with Improv Experience because “they can’t be thrown.”

-Improv gives you a plethora of choices. The more choices you bring to the table, the more your odds improve of getting the job.

-Improv helps the voice actor help the client to figure out what they want by offering a new delivery of the copy. Often something the client never thought of!

Find out tomorrow about how improv can help you succeed in voice over.
