Morning Voice

by | Jul 20, 2016 | Voice Over Articles | 11 comments

How does your voice sound when you first wake up in the morning?

Some people think it’s their best voice of the day…deep, husky, sexy. But for others, morning voice means lots of phlegm and constant throat clearing.

You might be surprised to learn that you should have a morning voice workout, just like you do for the rest of your body.

Without proper preparation, it can take awhile before the voice is warmed up and ready for the microphone.

It also matters what you eat for breakfast.

In this week’s Inside Voiceover I share my favorite morning voice wakeup routine. Hopefully you will find it helpful, not only to warm up your voice, but to keep it healthy all day long.

Watch It Here Now

After you watch the video, I want to know your thoughts. Has timing in voice over been a challenge for you? How are you dealing with it?

Let me know your thoughts in the comments box. I want to read about what’s on your mind so I can support you.

To your voice over success,

Susan Berkley,

    Hello Susan! As a matter of fact, I was thinking when I woke up today – uh-oh, morning voice! Thanks for the tips. My last two Citi sessions have been at 6 a.m. my time, so I had to get up extra early to warm up my voice and body. I use your vocal exercises, starting with the lip flutters, go into some singing exercises IO know, and also do stretching and a few yoga exercises. It works great and I was ready for recording! Thank you – love the video tips! Have a great day! ~~ Cinnamon

    Hi…this is great. especially the part about the morning news(smile).

    Question:..Could you show us a sample of a blank affidavit and contract so that we know that we are presenting the right information concerning payment for our services etc.

    Thanks so much

    Great tips, and very useful. Although…I do like my woman to sound like Barry White in the morning.
