The Slack Jaw Voice Over - Episode 15 - Slowing Down, Script Prep, and Dealing with Rejection

Hello all!  Before I get started I just wanted to let you know there is an announcement below as well as at the end of the podcast so stay tuned!  We have an episode today that covers a lot of topics.  I felt all three of these fit together in their own way so I felt this would be good to discuss each of them.  First up we have "Slowing Down."  Don't rush through your copy, keep it a normal pace.  We also want to make sure we don't rush through the audition process itself.  That would be bad.  Quality is always better than quantity here.

I also talk a little bit about script prep.  It's good to take some time with the copy and analyze it.  Figure out how you want to audition.  What direction do you want to take this?  Once you have the figured out then you can go into the booth.

Finally I talk a little more about rejection and one thing I do to keep myself from getting down.

ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!!  Like the renaissance artists before me I find myself in the need of patron.  (I of course speak of Michelangelo, Leonardo, Donatello, and Raphael.)  But unlike those renaissance voice artists Townsend Coleman, Cam Clarke, Barry Gordon, and Rob Paulsen who had Viacom to shepherd them along, I need to get creative.   So, I don't know if you have heard of Patreon yet.  It's basically a way for content creators and artists to get a little financial help to continue to produce what they love.  (See what they did there?  It's a play on the word "patron." Clever huh?)  Basically you can support me by clicking on the below link and pledging a $1 a month.  (You can pledge more if you like.  It's entirely up to you.)  This will help me keep this podcast going as well as start up a few others that I'm currently working on.  If you want to help, great, if not that is perfectly fine.  I just wanted to give you the option.  Also, don't worry that I'm going to rub this in your face each episode.  Just a link in the blog entry and mention at the end of the show.  That's all.  Thank you so much for your support!
