Here's an "accent" database by location that is super helpful for developing accents. https://www.dialectsarchive.com/dialects-accents

Whether you’re still trying to set up your studio, or you’re a full time voice actor who’s book up for the rest of the year, here are some things that are good to do every day. -read a poem out loud. This helps you express emotion in a nuanced way which can really pay off in the long run. -read something boring out loud. A road, an ad at a bus stop, a web site banner, etc. Read something “dry” and find a way to make it engaging. -listen to a great narrator. YouTube is your best friend for this, and you can find lots of great narrators and audiobook excerpts there. Hearing how other people carry a story along can help you a lot. All these can be done within 5-10 minutes a day (annd you don’t have to have a mic or a studio to do it) Even if you don’t have a payed gig at the moment, practicing constantly will make you even better for when you do.

Not a voiceover win, but just an excitement win. Pictured below is what is probably going to become my new favorite jacket. It’s merchandise from the amazing podcast worlds beyond number. I highly recommend you check them out. I also purchased it several sizes larger than me on purpose so I have a hunch it’s going to be very comfortable.

Welcome @Shannon Evans ! Shannon might be "The Most Interesting Woman in the World". She's an author, a podcaster, historian, (and lots of other stuff), and I'm fortunate to know her personally. Glad to have you!

This morning we fun with the script of “Quicksand” an audio drama produced by Lamplighter Ministries. Great job, everyone!
