Do Voice Actors Need Experienced Directors?At first glance, this seems a surprising statement to even be debating - but with budgets being increasingly squeezed across the creative industries, voice actors are finding that they're being directed by all kinds of people from production teams - not necessarily experienced directors.Voice Directors have a unique and precious skillset.So - along with the insights and comments from a number of voice actors and industry professionals - this is the subject that I'm tackling this week on Talking Creative.There were 4 main themes that emerged:Directors are the bridge between the actor and the client;Directors have the creative overview of the whole piece;Directors improve the quality of an actor’s performance through collaboration;Experienced directors know how to work with actors to build the layers of a nuanced, engaging performance quickly and efficiently - producing brilliant results AND saving time and money.Many thanks to everyone who got involved and helped me to create this New Year Special despite lockdown, New Year celebrations and birthdays - I couldn't do it without you!With special thanks to:Margaret Ashley, Curt Bonnem, Natalie Chisholm, Stephane Cornicard, Adam Dergiman, Katie Flamman, Kirsty Gillmore, John Grayson, Will Harrison-Wallace, Anthony Hewson, Dave Jones, Lanessa VO, Ally Murphy, Joel Pettigrew, Tanya Rich, Lisa Stokke Jolly and Susie Valerio.Do subscribe, rate and review "Talking Creative - the Art of Voiceover Directing" on Apple PodcastsorGo to https://samanthaboffin.co.uk/talkingcreative for the whole series so far :)
