Tips For Choosing A Voice Over Coach NYC

By Tara Daniels


There are many advantages to doing voice over work. You do not have to worry about putting on a costume and there is more opportunity to play characters that would be harder if you were doing a live action project. In order to get the most from your vocal performances it helps to find the right voice over coach NYC.

There are of course people that get work without acting coaching. This can be true with voiceovers as well as any other form of acting. However this tends to happen to a very lucky minority. Furthermore increasing your range and improving your skills make you more marketable to an agent or potential clients.

Each of these requires different approaches. A good coach will recognise this and help you to develop your skills for the kind of work you want to do. This is why when you first meet a coach it is worth discussing your goals and what you would like to do so you can gauge whether they will be able to coach you in the right way.

There is the physical side of a performance that they can help with. This can include physical warm ups and advice on how to take care of your voice. This can help to avoid any embarrassing moments where you lose your voice just before a performance and can allow you to hit the right tone.

It also helps to spend time in a recording booth. If you have developed your voice but have not used the equipment it can make the process quite difficult when you begin as you have to adapt to using it. Ideally a coach will have up to date equipment to make the transition between training and professional recording as smooth as possible.

As well as the physical aspect of the business there is also the technical side. Ideally they will have the equipment that a studio will use. While preparing physically is important this can make the process of recording less intimidating as you become more used to using the equipment and how to get the best vocal performances while using it.

You also need to be aware of how experienced the coach is. Ideally they will be able to demonstrate that they have done vocal work for a number of years. This is not just in terms of being able to do a load of impressions or show off their range of accents but in how long they have been working in the industry and their contacts. Hopefully this also means that they can use their contacts to help you get more work.

With any service it helps to research and this is certainly the case when choosing a voice over coach NYC. It is worth looking online and both their website and feedback from people who have previously used their services. This will help to ensure that you get the best possible coaching to get you the best chance of getting a career in the voiceover industry.
