What's the key to real success as a voiceover?
It's understanding how to use the voice over artists best tool, the industry standard software, Adobe audition, teaching yourself this magical software will mean you need to hire an engineer or book an outside studio. You can keep all the income yourself.
Adobe audition, a creative cloud product is a very powerful and rock solid piece of software that you will use throughout your working day to record, edit and enhance your voice over recordings. But too many newcomers they're put off using this software as it seems very complicated to use. In my new much awaited video based training course, I will not only explain how to start your new career as a freelance voice over artist so you can hit the ground running, but I'll explain how to get the most from Adobe audition in your work.
Now there are plenty of other training courses about their software, but they are mostly aimed at music producers, but mine is specifically aimed at the busy voiceover artists and presenters.
So I'll show you what features are essential and most importantly, which features you can generally ignore in your day to day work. Once you get to understand this, the big nasty beast of the audio software world becomes as cute and appealing as a pussycat.
Along with the simple keyboard shortcuts, I'll show you the whole operation becomes like child's play. I'll show you the fastest workflows to record and edit your paid for scripts as well as your voice demos. And I'll show you the astonishing tools built into the software to make your voice sound amazing and to deal with any technical problems by learning all the elements of Adobe audition that the professional voiceover needs. You'll save so much time and money, you'll be able to do everything yourself in your home studio fast and you'll be able to send files back to clients quicker, especially as you won't be waiting and they get a hide slot at your local studio.
It's win-win. Adobe audition is the industry standard software worldwide. You can have complete confidence in it as a voiceover artist and my course will get you working and earning income fast. Now if you haven't started voice work at all yet, you know this really is an amazing time to be a freelance voice over artist with enormous potential. There is almost always going to be an English version of a non English business video needed for a company's website and social media and organisations right round the world. More and more museums and art galleries offer audio tools for visitors with shows that regularly change, which means more work for us and voiceover recordings are needed for phone messages, train and bus stations, e-learning programmes, of course audio books, podcasts, as well as the obvious world of TV and radio advertising where you can also pull in very good income.
Don't be left behind in this amazing revolution. I will teach you how to set yourself up as a voice over artist and use Adobe audition as the key tool in your daily work and you'll never look back but work. Did I really use that word? You see If you enjoy speaking, maybe you've done a bit of acting, you like being creative, you like doing the odd daft accent and character voices, life as a voice over is so much fun. It's not work. Every day is different. My new course is based on easy to view broadcast quality HD videos over four and a half hours worth all easily navigable so you can find what you need to know fast and you'll see very clear screenshots of the latest edition of the software so you'll be up and running in no time at all. Once more, there are sections aimed at complete beginners.
I'll show you what equipment you need to buy and in detail how to wire it all up together and where to set up your voice recording area at home. There's a comprehensive PDF book as well you can download and other important resources you can also download. Now with this course, you'll be well on your way to closing the door on your old life of a tedious, underpaid, non-creative job. Yeah. Is that you now to a bright new future where you'll never look back.
Look, please check it out. If halfway through the course you'll think, not really for me, no hard feelings. We'll refund every penny of your investment, but I am so convinced you'll find it useful. I don't really see that happening.
