ALL of my demos were DIY; Primarily dry reads and simple narration, such as audio books, e-learning, explainers, etc., and I have a few PSA's and commercials with very simple music beds- All of my DIY demos have served me very well!

This was genuinely the best "how to create your voice over demo from scratch" video I've seen - and I've been researching for years on different methods.

[mjisko]

This was really great. Starting from scratch, and this was encouraging.

Good stuff. Love the grass root approach !

Randy,

This was AWESOME! I'm new to VO and have been doing a lot of research on YouTube to gain more knowledge. I can't believe this is the first time that I've stumbled upon your page! I really enjoyed this video... I will be binge-watching all of your videos this week for sure. BTW, can you please do a quick Demo recording on Adobe Audition? That's the DAW that I'm currently using and would love to learn your process on how to record, edit, add music, blend, etc. I'm an educator and your way of teaching and explaining is thorough, concise, and easy to understand.

Thanks a bunch for making this video! It's extremely helpful for someone like me who is beginner in this space. I'm wondering what software did you use to record your takes? Did you record them directly in Audacity or did you record them using another software then export the takes to Audacity? Thanks!

I was practicing the _same_ copy a couple of nights ago! Thank you for the video. 👍Shame it was a rental. That's not possible everywhere in the world.

[anthonychilaka]

thanks. I like the sound boot setup, cant wait for the kids to go to bed and start my demo recording. Awesome!

Hi Randy! Excellent video, thanks! I’m an actress and want to pull a Voiceover Demo Reel from the Video Demos I have. I’m absolutely new on this…
1- How can I save the audio without the video? I’ve worked my Video Demo Reels on iMovie.
2- If I have some mp3 files of some VO’s that I did for radio, how can use them in my Demo Reel?

Thanks again!

[jross]

very good information, I'll definitely try it.

[voicetalent_ben]

a TON - Randy you have always been a greeat help...thanks for being around...!

[jmotg]

I'm looking to get into voice overs and this was a really helpful video. Thanks for making it easy to understand.

[mpsorr]

Thanks for the super helpful and encouraging video and links! However zero clue what those two last fancy audacity moves were...?

[savannahwalters]

This video is really helpful, thank you! Would you have to rent all this equipment again if you book a gig?

[BritonaBudget]

I’m an actor and I just started out on voice over. Thank you so much ❤ for the amazing help

[sharonlarsen]

I don't have any stores where I can rent the microphone and other but I have purchased a Razer Seiren Mini - USB Condenser Microphone which I hope will do the job adequately for now. My first try with a USB headset was okay but could definitely be improved with a better microphone. Fingers crossed it sounds good.

[elissamayprizzops]

This was very helpful for starters! Thank you so much for making it so simple.
