Improv is a fascinating technique in the performance world that some people love, many people fear, and, I suspect, many simply don't fully understand.

I admit, myself, that I feel into a combination of the fear and lack of understanding category. Until this interview with Rebecca Haugh.

Rebecca is a gifted voice actor and coach who teaches voice actors the art of improv.

If improv is something you've never really explored or considered before, I strongly urge you to listen to this episode with an open mind. You might just find improv could be the catalyst to leveling up your comfort and performance level in the booth!

CORRECTION: In this episode I mistakenly referred to one of Rebecca's clients as Fiverr. It should have been Pfizer. I apologize for their error. ~ Marc

Ah yes... the conversational voice over read. Or is that, the conversational NON ANNOUNCER voice over read?

Either way, we see the direction in pretty much every single audition that comes into our studios. Doesn't seem to matter what genre. It's what every casting director, agent, producer and creative director on planet earth is looking for.

So how do we deliver it?

Enter Hugh Klitzke.

With over 125,000 auditions directed, Hugh knows conversational. So much that he branded his entire business after it!

In this episode, Hugh digs deep into the conversational read, and the end result is a virtual Master Class on the subject.
