The Slack Jaw Voice Over - Episode 20 - Behind the Scenes Part I

Hello!  Sorry for the delay in the episode.  The schedule is going to be a bit wonky for a few weeks while some "changes" are happening but I hope to have everything on a steady schedule in a month or so.  Until then, we are going to be bit off from time to time.

Today's episode is the first of a two part series about how I do this very podcast.  I figured, this is one big way I practice every week (among other things) and if podcasting was something you were interested in, then here is one way you can do it.

Part I is mostly about the format, why it changed, and why it can be beneficial to do a podcast.  Next week we are going to talk about the nitty gritty details on how it gets on the web and into your ear holes.  (NOTE:  It is not a requirement to do a podcast to get into voice acting.  It's just a fun way to practice.  AND, you aren't fenced into one particular topic or idea.  I just happen to do mine on voice acting.  You may want to do yours on cactuses.  Cacti?  Whatever.)

As always, drop me a line at nate@nathanbeattyvo.com.  You can subscribe to the podcast by clicking the RSS feed button over to the right there, or you can look us up on iTunes.   To download this episode click here.  If you like what you hear, go ahead and give us a 5 star review on iTunes.  It would really help us out. Our intro and outro music is from Mevio's Music Alley.  That's David Wilcox's Modern World.  He is one of my favorite folk artists and I highly recommend if you like that type of music to check him out.  Also, don't forget to check out our Patreon page.  Just one dollar a month would be a HUGE help.  Thanks again and I look forward to talking to you soon!  Take Care!

The Slack Jaw Voice Over - Episode 19 - Accents and Character Voices

Hello all!  I hope you enjoyed your past few weeks.  Things got a little crazy around here as I was out of town, working on an audiobook, among other side projects as well.  But this week we are going to talk about character voices and accents.  It's important to know what you can do, and do it well.  A regular theme in this series is, practice.  And finally DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SHARE WHAT YOU ARE WORKING ON!!!!!  This way, people can help you.  Constructive criticism is extremely important to help you get better.

Well that's about the long and the short of it this week.  As always, drop me a linenate@nathanbeattyvo.com.  You can subscribe to the podcast by clicking the RSS feed button over to the right there, or you can look us up on iTunes.   To download this episode click here.  If you like what you hear, go ahead and give us a 5 star review on iTunes.  It would really help us out.

No Episode This Week....

Hello everyone.  Sorry for going radio silent there for a few days.  There will be no podcast this week as I have been absolutely insanely busy.  Which is a good thing.  I actually just finished my first Audible Audiobook the other day and I'm waiting to get notes on it.  That was a bit of a project to say the least.  Putting together an audiobook is a big job no matter how you slice it and when you are doing it on your own, it takes up a lot of time.  I think I may do an episode about how I put it together but that will come later.

Anyway, I'm rambling.  I'll wrap it up here and you will be hearing from me again soon as I do have an episode that is going to be released on Monday.  As always, drop me a line.  You can subscribe to the podcast by clicking the RSS feed button over to the right there, or you can look us up on iTunes.  If you like what you hear, go ahead and give us a 5 star review on iTunes.  It would really help us out.  Also, don't forget to check out our Patreon page.  Thanks again and I look forward to talking to you soon!  Take Care!
