Today, it was time to break out the thesaurus during The “Working” Voice Actor on Clubhouse. Our hosts, George Nowik, Roshelle Simpson, and Megan Selke, asked us to help out our fellow voice actors by providing adjectives that can be used on our websites, social posts, marketing materials, etc., that describe our voices.
Each person on stage was asked a question by one of the lovely mods, something easy and personal to spark that natural conversational tone, and then had one minute to give an answer. Questions like “What is your favorite season and why?” or “Tell me about your wedding day,” or “What was an embarrassing story that happened in college that you can laugh about now?”
Everyone listening used the chat to describe that person’s voice and voila: each speaker had some quick, crowdsourced descriptors to use in promoting themselves and their VO business. Plus, it was a lot of fun to hear people’s responses and to get to know everyone better!
Thank you George, Roshelle, and Megan for organizing this relaxed and useful exercise! The room is always a blast, and it happens every Friday on Clubhouse at 9am PST/noon EST. Always a fun way to wrap up the week!
