www.coreybarksdale.com Atlanta Georgia Artist Corey Barksdale large scale wall mural art. Murals of sorts date to prehistoric times, such as the paintings on the Caves of Lascaux in southern France, and many ancient murals have survived in Egyptian tombs, and in Pompeii. The term became more famous with the Mexican “muralista” art movement (Diego Rivera, David Siqueiros, or José Orozco). There are many different styles and techniques. The best-known is probably fresco, which uses water soluble paints with a damp lime wash, a rapid use of the resulting mixture over a large surface, and often in parts (but with a sense of the whole). The colors lighten as they dry. The marouflage method has also been used for millennia. Murals today are painted in a variety of ways, using oil or water based media. The styles can vary from abstract to trompe-l’œil (a French term for “fool” or “trick the eye”). Today, the beauty of a wall mural has become much more widely available with a technique whereby a painting or photographic image is transferred to poster paper which is then pasted to a wall surface to give the effect of either a hand-painted mural or realistic scene. Mural at the American British Cowdray Hospital in México DF by Veronica Ruiz de Velasco in 1989. Murals are important in that they bring art into the public sphere. Due to the size, cost, and work involved in creating a mural, muralists must often be commissioned by a sponsor. Often it is the local government or a …

A Voice Talent’s Guide To Voice Over Training

solsbury — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 01:17:48 +0000

Between a Hollywood superstar and a voice actor, the latter actually works harder. It’s real tough for him to convey feelings and emotions while reading, fully knowing that he will not be seen on the screen. The voice actor must be able to empathize with the persona that he portrays and make sure that he breathes life into the script. It is in this realm where voice over training is essential.

Voice over artists are able to master the craft of voice acting and find good employment in this field by going through voice over training. Thousands of animated TV shows, cartoons, radio advertisements, web shows and movies are produced on a regular basis. Take note that about 20 to 30 characters make up the cast of a single movie or TV show. There are global opportunities galore for a voice actor.

Basic skills required to join a voice over training course

Diction is one of the most vital tools of the trade. Perfect enunciation is demanded from the student, hence, it is necessary for him to go to speech classes to perfect his diction. Every voice over actor has two roles to fulfill – “lending voice” and “acting.” So, perfect diction is not enough to start voice over training – the student must also enroll in an acting course prior to joining the voice over course.

What does a voiceover training program teach?

Analyzing and interpreting commercial copy for announcer and real-person roles are learned by the student. Interpreting narrative copy, as well as technical copy, are learned as well. The course teaches the student how to efficiently coordinate mind, mouth and voice so that he can sound true to his character. Taking direction is also learned by the student.

A great voice actor training program makes students read, record, play back, listen, and then do it all over again until they get it right. Students warm-up and perform vocal exercises and learn techniques like timing, inflection, and articulation. They figure out how to preserve their vocal fitness. Half-way into the voice over training course, students become adept at using and adjusting tone, pitch, delivery speed and volume for a variety of jobs.

After the main training is over, students learn how to market their skills, tap the right contacts, and get voice over work. Instructors of the voice over program also help them in creating a voice over demo, which would become part of their portfolio. A solid voice over training course gives students the opportunity to work in a real studio and fully grasp what they must and shouldn’t do in a sound booth and when behind the microphone.

Selecting a voice over training course

There are two aspects to voice training. Students who are attracted in selling must opt for a commercial voice over course. Commercial voice talents are employed for selling. Several of the areas that require this type of voice overs are radio ads, TV advertisements, phone and other media features. Selling skills are also covered by a voice over course considering that all commercial voice overs sell a service or a product. Acting skills are not dealt with by this course. Students who are interested in showbiz must decide on a TV and movie voice over and dubbing course. Lip-synching is required by such courses, hence, the voice over talent also must have to master acting skills.

To conclude, all the world’s a stage and we must play a part. So if you would like to be a voice talent, and you want to learn how to raise your voice, better enroll in a reputed voice actor training course.
