Today we listened to the takes I recorded, but once again they weren't good. My speech was still too much up and down on the last line for example. He does know how to make it clear what I did wrong as he gives a very clear example.
I redid the lines, but he figured I wasn't ready for it yet. I needed more practice as my pronunciation and the way of saying thingsweren't good enough. It was clear I didn't practice it long enough, but to be fair my speech can't change in one day. I also had to slow down and think of more pauses than the script really says in order to let it flow natural.
My confidence level also had to be higher in order to tackle these commercials. A read without confidence is bland and he showed me a few examples of what was good and what wasn't.
I forgot what he all said about that as he went on about it for a long time xD but the main point was that I should be stronger and just do things without hesitation. I understand how I came across at certain moments and I understand it's frustrating to hear someone say: I will try, but I don't want to bring up hopes about something while I can't do it. For example with the commercials. I am more confident about stuff I know about!
I have to stand more confident and my speech has to be more confident. I know I am not the most confident person but I have come a long way from years ago, so I am already happy I am stronger.
Honestly I never realized how I stood, but most of the time I stand in a certain pose because I can't stand in a pose for a long time because my muscles start to hurt. But shifting my pose to an insecure one when talking about something I don't know about I didn't know.
I also have to open my mouth more which will also show I am more confident and that I can project myself. But as a Frisian I have always talked without opening my mouth a lot, that's just how our speech is, so I don't know if that has to do something about confidence.
I had to go back in the booth and read the script in 3 different ways: Happy, confident and angry.
This was all to loosen up and get me out of the comfort zone.
I just did it, I wanted to proof I could do it and I think the supervisor was surprised I did it.
Our conversation changed to script writing and I said I didn't know how to start a commercial.
The supervisor pulled up the Skyrim website and started writing a commercial in 5 / 10 minutes and explained some things about it.
The commercial needs to include an:
Intro - Getting people excited about the product you are trying to sell.
Main body - Explaining what features the product has or what it contains
Extro - Wrapping up the commercial by saying where you can get it for example.
In case of this example the intro should apply to all ages as parents will probably buy the game for their kids.
Hardcore gamers should be intrigued, why is this new?
So by saying: Take your gaming to the next level it will intrigue a lot of people as everyone will wonder: What is this next level?
When I had to think of a different intro I came up with: The Elder Scrolls is back with their 5th game.
Nope, that was wrong as most people don't know about Elder Scrolls at all and they won't care. This message will only apply to people who know the Elder Scrolls or people who have interest in gaming and want to try out something new.
We looked at another advertisement from Kustom autobody and the intro was so easy but I didn't know where to look xD But once I got the hang of it I wrote a commercial with the information that was being provided. In case of a company you should name the company's name many times.
I will voice that commercial later and will mix the full thing too.
The rest of the day we looked at the booklet and the supervisor had to look into it further before I have to change something. He also wanted to hear the music I made on my day off and he was impressed.
He didn't even believe I made it so he was really curious to how I made it in cubase. That's what I will have to show on Monday.
