How to Be More Conversational with Hugh Klitzke

Everyday VOpreneur® with Marc Scott

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.
