Voice Acting

• 10 Voice Tones: https://old.reddit.com/r/TikTokCringe/comments/1at3n7a/voiceover_actor_explains10_tones_used_during_reads/
  • "im an audio for video engineer, im the person directly communicating with the voice actor to make sure the producer is happy during recording, and it really is wild the amount of times they give what is a really over the top read from their point of view, and we have to prop then up to get them to go even bigger and more exaggerated. It feels unnatural, and bizarre, but it plays well in a VO"
