Today it is all about the mics!

You may or may not be a voiceover but if you do any online meetings, social media videos or if you host or ever guest on podcasts - do listen as I'm doing an audio comparison in the episode between:

• An internal computer mic
• A USB mic
• A dynamic mic
• A phone mic
• and a valve condenser booth mic

This episode will help you get a feel for how you could sound, depending on the mic you pick.

The mics mentioned are:

• RODE Mini https://rode.com/en/microphones/usb/nt-usb-mini?gclid=CjwKCAiAheacBhB8EiwAItVO217_HdizJa9ghBG1m0e-n8PKSuqrsdF3OYoMzj2c9UXNYB-UHm7YKBoC3RkQAvD_BwE

The episode about all kinds of warm ups!

Voiceover warm ups aren't just for our voices and bodies - if we're going to perform at our best, we also need to warm up our mindset. 

So today I’m talking about quick little ways to warm-up, well, everything!

And this episode is great for voiceovers, podcasters AND people who work with voice actors on the other side of the mic.

As promised - here is the link to Nic Redman's excellent podcast The Voice Coach:

Yes, I know it isn't Twelfth Night - it's December 12th. Which is totally different.

But it's a great excuse to talk about one of the most Christmassy days of the year:

So here's a whistlestop tour of Twelfth Night, including:

• Tree Spirits
• 3 Wise Men
• King Cake (and the bean)
• Shakespeare
• The Theatre Royal Drury Lane

Basically - everything you've ever wanted to know...
