Episode Synopsis

Send us a textIn this episode of A VO’s Journey, we dig into a subtle but powerful part of every recording: breathing. Should breaths be left in or taken out of your audio? The answer depends on the style of the read, the client’s expectations, and the overall flow of your performance.We explore the pros and cons of keeping breaths in—how they can add realism, pacing, and authenticity—and the reasons to edit them out for a cleaner, more polished delivery. You’ll also learn techniques to control your breathing while performing, tips for editing breaths naturally, and how to match your approach to different genres like audiobooks, commercials, and eLearning.Whether you’re just starting out or polishing your professional workflow, this episode will give you the confidence to make the right breathing choices in your voice overs.50% Off First MONTH FOR VO JOURNEY ACADEMY HERE:  https://www.avosjourney.comJoin Academy Voices Talent Roster Here: https://www.academyvoices.com/offers/4sNBzDc9 Support the showSocial Links: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/anthony_pica_vo/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/AVOsJOURNEY Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/avosjourney/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonypicavo/
