VOICE ACTING 101! ANYPONY CAN DO IT!

[Mareinthemoon 348]

Yea there are some who like myself can pull of rarity with 0 problems mainly because I can get into character. This is acting and in voice acting you have to get into character. Slowly understand the characters mental processes. Is she happy?Is she sad? You need to put emotion into every line. and then the best way is listen to a line off the show a few times, record your voice and listen to it. take notes on your pitch and adjust for the next round of recording. This is a trick for accents as well in voice acting.

 

Your voice generally sounds different when recorded. so me for example from my stand point I have a low tone voice to everyone else and recording devices I have a dainty pitched voice which is useful.

 

do some chorus drills for annunciation and pitch. in chorus you generally learn to sing in 8 pitches for normal and 16 for advanced.

 

Do,rei,mi,fa,so,la,ti,do

Low>>>>>>>>>>>>High

start at low and work your way up then go backwards.

after a while of doing this you will find you can set your voice at different speaking levels at will and voice acting is half done. the vocal is down just the method acting left.

 

see not so bad right? With simple chorus..I know right? You can pretty much voice act and get a better understanding of your personal vocal range. This also helps due to the mass amount of songs in mlp, chorus will help with the breathing needed to sing continuously without people being able to hear you breathe. It sounds simple But after 3 verses it can be a task...the key is not big gasp breaths unless you are about to creciendo or hit the big impact note. Take several medium breaths and sing from your diafram not your throat. there is a HUGE difference.

 

 

 

I hope this helps
