With almost 4 hours of material in this course you’ll learn not just about the best equipment to buy for all budgets, but how to use your gear and how to also record and edit your voiceovers to impress your clients.You’ll be able to join me in my own home voice booth as I interpret, record and edit three different scripts – a timed fast moving radio commercial, a TV advert with character voice wild lines and a part of a nature documentary narration and you’ll be able to see all the stages of the process including the detailed editing that you will need to learn so you can deliver professional audio files to your client and get more highly paid voice work.    If you think you’re technophobic, honestly, there’s nothing to worry about, I’ll take your hand throughout the whole process and by the end you’ll be able to read waveforms as easily as text on a page!The course will get you up and running fast with the three most popular audio editing programs for voiceover, Adobe Audition, NCH Wavepad and Audacity and there are also sections on internet connection, efficient audio file organisation and fast editing keyboard shortcuts.
