However, the real key to a great performance isn\u2019t just in the given direction, it can be found in the script itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I am given voiceover direction from the creative team I look it over and change the words to best suit the results I am looking for from the talent\u2019s read. I look beyond the written direction given to me. The reads that stand out are beyond a warm non-announcer. I can best describe the reads that stand out as the reads with a point of view.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am going to share my process with you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trust that all the answers to making the best performance choices can be found within the script.&nbsp; Here are four key elements to analyze a script to make distinct choices to enhance your reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Insights: Lessons from Terry Berland, CSA<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use visual descriptors and product context to shape your performance tone (e.g., intimate for tight shots, upbeat for fast food ads).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Align your voice with the product&#8217;s image (e.g., refined for luxury cars, trustworthy for financial services).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Highlight words like &#8220;trust&#8221; or &#8220;action&#8221; in your delivery to enhance the emotional impact.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thinking about joining Casting Networks?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/app.castingnetworks.com\/login\/signup\/TALENT?_ga=2.43125222.2103773832.1721048373-1030609057.1713483804&amp;_gl=1*1vfcgsy*_gcl_au*MTk4MzczMDgyNy4xNzIxMzA4NzY4*_ga*MTAzMDYwOTA1Ny4xNzEzNDgzODA0*_ga_5V50WCP8LX*MTcyMTMyMTIwOS4zMDYuMS4xNzIxMzIxMjM5LjAuMC4zMTgwMTM3MQ..&amp;post_type=news&amp;p=135120&amp;preview=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sign up<\/a>&nbsp;for a free trial today!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>If This is a TV Read, Look at the Visual Cues in the Script&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think of the visuals as the principal character and your voice as the supporting character in the spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have access to visuals, take the time to analyze them. They will help you understand the overall tone of the piece. Here are some common visual cues and what they might suggest for your read:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tight shot:<\/strong> Calls for a more intimate and personal read.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Peaceful neighborhood with manicured lawns:<\/strong> Suggests a warm, reassuring and calm tone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rolling hills:<\/strong> Evokes a folksy, serene and comforting feel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bright colors and quick shots:<\/strong> Indicates a bright, positive, high-energy read.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Puppies, children, family and friendship scenes:<\/strong> Calls for a warm and joyful delivery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Military themes:<\/strong> This suggests an inspirational and bold read.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Look at the Written Descriptions Between the Voiceover Words<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even when visuals are not provided, the script often includes written descriptions that serve the same purpose. These descriptions offer insights into tone and mood. Pay attention to them, as they provide the same types of hints that visuals do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>City rooftop party with New York skyline in the background. Friends laughing and talking: <\/strong>Suggests friendly and warm tones.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A hammer comes down and slams a slab of cement: <\/strong>Your<strong> <\/strong>read would be strong and straightforward.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bubbles are floating by as the child\u2019s face is being face-painted at the fairground:<\/strong> Your read could be rather intimate with a magical feel to it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pay Attention to the Product<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The product itself offers strong clues about the required tone and pacing of the read. Consider these general guidelines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fast food:<\/strong> Upbeat, bright and quick-tempoed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Luxury restaurants (dim lighting, elegant settings):<\/strong> Slower-paced, softer, more intimate tone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Luxury cars with lush interiors:<\/strong> Calls for a refined read.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Speeding cars and high-action visuals:<\/strong> Indicates a strong, energetic and focused delivery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Retail stores (bright, lively, bouncy music):<\/strong> Requires a bright and friendly tone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Financial institutions:<\/strong> Needs a reassuring, trustworthy delivery. Most institutions suggest that your needs will be individually treated.&nbsp;That is a direct suggestion to sound warm and relatable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shampoo, cosmetics and beauty products:<\/strong> A softer, smoother, more \u201ccosmetic\u201d tone enhances the appeal. If the product has upbeat music and a bouncer feel, pay attention as it is suggested your read be positive and upbeat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Find Cue Words in the Script<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Certain words in the script should guide your choices in tone and delivery. Key cue words include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>\u201cTrust,\u201d \u201cconfident,\u201d \u201cassured\u201d and \u201csafe\u201d<\/strong>: Calls for a warm, reassuring, steady tone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\u201cTake action now,\u201d \u201cgo now,\u201d \u201climited time\u201d<\/strong>: Suggests a feeling of enthusiasm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\u201cHero,\u201d \u201cempowered\u201d and \u201cbold\u201d<\/strong>: Suggests a strong, motivational read.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think of each script as selling with an emotional feel. The entire spot is complete except for the voice that will \u201ctop off\u201d that emotional feel. I listen to hundreds of reads per role. Mastering the skill of choosing the right emotional feel will set you apart in the competitive world of voiceover work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You may also like:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.castingnetworks.com\/news\/tips-for-planning-a-successful-year\/\">Tips for Planning a Successful Year<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.castingnetworks.com\/news\/how-to-successfully-break-into-voiceover\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Successfully Break Into Voiceover<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.castingnetworks.com\/news\/why-are-commercial-auditions-so-last-minute\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Why Are Commercial Auditions so Last Minute?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a casting director, I communicate directly with the ad agency\u2019s creative team: the decision-makers responsible for booking talent.
