  <title>SFV #012: Voice-Over Coaching and Training</title>
  <description>Tyrone Jackson and Alyson Steel discuss voice-over coaching. Alyson reveals that she prefers to coach students who are gung-ho about the industry. She says that it can be a very psychological industry and&amp;amp;nbsp;as actors, voice over artists have to access their emotions as tools, and if they have any emotional blocks its something they have to deal with.&amp;amp;nbsp;&#13;
To give our audience a taste of voice-over coaching, Alyson guides our producer, Lexi, through a piece of ad-copy. Alyson gives some great advice for beginners:&#13;
1) Stand up when reading copy. Either wear flats or take off your shoes in the booth to feel grounded.&#13;
2) Start by anchoring, which means reading each word in the copy without inflection.&amp;amp;nbsp;&#13;
3) Figure out who you are in this situation and who are you talking to.&#13;
4) Know where you are in the commercial. A coffee shop? A bar? Inside a car?&amp;amp;nbsp;&#13;
5) When working on the mic it's not about volume, it's about intimacy.&amp;amp;nbsp;&#13;
