Improvisation is a must have in your voice over tool kit according to Improv Expert, Bill Applebaum. “Improv training helps the voice actor to just be creative and spontaneous” says Applebaum. “Although it’s important to analyze your copy, paying attention (or not) to punctuation, who you’re talking to, what you’re selling, in the end you must be authentic and real in the booth. Improv helps you get there” he says.

In tomorrow’s “roundtable” podcast, Improv teacher, Bill Applebaum, voice over teacher Bill Holmes and three improv (voice actor) students gather round the mic to talk about the impact of improvisation on voice over career.
