Now, the final step is to make your voiceover performance realistic by connecting with an audience.

		<description><![CDATA[OK, the analogy may be a little stretched here, but this Seinfeld clip reminded me of a basic voice over technique that I hit on years ago that you may find helpful. And it’s simply this: if you’re having trouble summoning the right feeling or attitude for a read, try leading with your face.

		<description><![CDATA[Another thing to watch out for when performing characters and accents in your voiceover work is CONSISTENCY. Your character’s voice, accent (if any) and speech mannerisms need to be consistent to be convincing. Take a look at the video below, in which Tina Fey and Jack McBrayer of 30 Rock demonstrate the dangers of an &#8230; <a href="http://www.johnmatthew.com/blog/2010/08/13/character-voice-acting-basics-consistency/">Read more <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

Take a look – it’s short and fun – and I’ll be right back. In the video, Hank mentions that he gave the Simpsons &#8230; <a href="http://www.johnmatthew.com/blog/2010/08/04/character-voice-acting-basics/">Read more <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

Pick anything that you like: happy, sad, sarcastic, wry, compassionate, skeptical &#8211; even if it&#8217;s not what the spot calls for &#8211; it&#8217;s all good for your workout.

Pay attention next time you&#8217;re listening to commercials &#8211; in virtually every radio and TV ad you hear, the voice actor is smiling to some degree or another.
