Most of us have heard of an acting method called Improv, but very few understand how this method can be used in voice over.
For voice actors, Improv is actually an essential acting skill that helps you stay flexible, confident and nimble behind the mic.
Voice actors without Improv skills will often freeze up when the director asks for a different take. They overthink instead of responding smoothly to the unexpected.
They feel pressure to get a voice “perfect” instead of playing around with it.
Voice actors with Improv skills, on the other hand, experience something very different…
They’re able to be more confident, nimble, and creative.
They can adjust quickly to changing direction, without getting stuck.
That’s when voice over starts to feel more fun, creative, and enjoyable.
