Your First Practice with Voiceover Aicademy
When you’re stepping into voiceover, don’t overthink the setup. You don’t need the most expensive mic or a studio packed with gear. What you need is practice. And practice is free. Here’s today’s assignment. Create ChatGPT accountant (http://openai.com) and paste in this line: “Write a 30-second commercial for a luxury car that makes the driver feel unstoppable.” That’s it! Let ChatGPT give you the copy, then record yourself reading it out loud on your phone, and play it back. Notice how your voice lands. Did you sound powerful, smooth, connected, or did you sound like you were reading? This is how you get better. We’ll get started this week in a Zoom (Watch the calendar) And to make this easier, I created a personal GPT inside Voiceover Aicademy that’s only for members. You can use it to pull scripts, exercises, and practice material built for voiceover. No guessing. No wasting time. https://chatgpt.com/g/g-wsb1KFWsf-voiceover Now let’s couple that commercial assignment with something visual. This is where prompting for images comes in. Prompting means giving AI a clear description of what you want to see, the same way you gave ChatGPT a clear description for the car commercial. The more detail you give, the closer the AI gets to your vision. For example, the image below was created using this exact prompt: “Create a hyper-realistic portrait of a beautiful dark-skinned Black woman speaking confidently into a Shure SM7B microphone, warm glowing studio lights, blurred background, cinematic 8K photography.” That’s the power of a strong prompt. Words become visuals. So here’s your full challenge for today. Use ChatGPT to write the luxury car commercial, record it in your own voice, then use the prompt above to generate the image. Post your results in the comments, I’d love to see what you create. And before I go, have you noticed the leaderboard in the community? Some of you are creeping up on me. I won’t call names, but I see you. Every time you move up, you unlock a new title. No prize money, No gold medal, But it feels good seeing your name climb. Sometimes bragging rights are enough.
