Thank you for your positive attitude; your expertise as a performance coach, director, and voice actor; and your dedication to maintaining the highest of standards in everything you do. And… To the many extremely talented voice actors, past and present, who have made their mark in the world of voiceover, and who freely share their knowledge and experience. Your support and encouragement of those students who have the passion for performing voiceover, and are serious, about mastering the skills of this challenging business is truly inspirational. Voice acting is the performing craft of creating believable characters, in interesting relationships, telling compelling stories, using only the spoken word. Mastering and applying the skills of voice acting will take your personal and professional communication to an entirely new level of effectiveness. James R. Alburger www.jamesalburger.com Chapter Title Here xiv Foreword By Beau Weaver One of the things that distinguishes human beings from our fellow creatures, is that we are animals who tell stories. In this digital age, the warm, personal connection of a flesh-and-blood person telling that story is more important than ever. At the heart of it, that is what voice acting is all about. Marice Tobias, one of the most sought-after Hollywood voice acting coaches, calls voiceover “storytelling with a point of view.” However simple this might seem, it’s much harder than it looks, which is why this book is so valuable. Across the modern media landscape, there are many different places where the interpretive talents of the professional voice actor are used. From old-school national radio and television commercial campaigns, trailers for feature films, documentary narration, to more contemporary audio books, website opens, interactive flash animations and mini-documentary webisodes, each genre and subgenre is actually it’s own very separate and distinct world. Each has very different players, conventions and rules of engagement. There may appear to be a unified field called “voiceover work” but it’s actually many different disciplines, with very little overlap. It’s much like professional sports, where all the players are athletes, but most specialize in only one sport, with precious few able to master more than one game. This book will help the beginner and journeyman alike to untangle the many related, but completely distinct, “games” in this business. And as the subtitle of this book points out, voice acting is an art, but it is also a business. While it is still true that on the east and west coasts, most national work is handled through talent agents and managers, gone are the days when a voiceover actor could simply play the role of artist. Today, increasingly, to be successful one must have much in common with the entrepreneur, wearing the hat of both actor and manager of your own career. Few people possess the sensibilities of both actor and marketer, but both are necessary to compete in what is now a global marketplace. Fortunately, James Alburger understands how to wear both of these hats, and has broken down each area in great depth for those who are new to the field and for veterans who are looking for ways to move their craft, and business to the next level. xiii xivxi The Art of Voice Acting In his book Outliers, author Malcolm Gladwell points out that his own research shows that in order to master any field of endeavor, from computer programming to playing guitar to basketball, at least 10,000 hours of practice are required. This has proven true in my own experience. A few years back, I knew a self-taught artist, who was invited to teach a beginner- level class in drawing at a community college. Though he was a great illustrator, he had no idea how to teach others. So he surprised himself when he heard these words come out of his own mouth on day one of his first class. He said: “Well, it’s going to take you about 10,000 drawings before you do anything that’s worth a damn… so, I guess you’d better get started.” The Art of Voice Acting is a great place to start. Beau Weaver www.spokenword.com ABOUT BEAU WEAVER: Beau Weaver is one of the West Coast’s perennial A-list voiceover artists, narrating trailers for feature films, network television promos, syndicated television shows, cable network documentaries, national radio and television commercial campaigns, and imaging for major market television affiliates and radio stations. He has had starring roles in animated series such as Superman and The Fantastic Four and narrates several popular documentary series for NatGeo, Discovery Channel, and Animal Planet. Chapter Title Here xv Preface James R. Alburger When I first began teaching voiceover workshops in 1997, I never dreamed that my workshop notes would evolve into the most popular, and what is considered by many the most comprehensive, book on the craft and business of voiceover. Upon completing the first edition, I knew I had only scratched the surface, but the thought that there would be a fourth edition never crossed my mind! Fortunately, with each new edition I have been able to expand the content to cover more and more aspects of this fascinating type of work. The business of voiceover is one that is in a constant state of flux. Although the fundamental performing techniques may be consistent, there are trends and performing styles that are constantly changing. As voice actors, we must keep up with the trends and maintain our performing skills in order to keep the work coming in. But the reality is, there’s actually a lot more to it than that. What you hold in your hands is a manual for working in the business of voiceover that will take you from the fundamentals of performing to the essentials of marketing… and everything in-between. Most books on voiceover talk about interpretation—how to deliver phrases or analyze a script, some actually teach “announcing,” and some are more about the author than the craft of voiceover. This book is different! This book was written with the intention of giving you a solid foundation in both the craft and business of voiceover. Within these pages you’ll find dozens of tools and techniques that are essential for success in this area of show business—some of which you won’t find anywhere else. With this book, you will learn exactly how to use these tools, not just in voiceover, but in everything you do. Unlike some other books on voiceover, I don’t focus on how I did it, or go into boring stories of my voiceover career. No… I’ll show you how you can do it! Every story and every technique you’ll read in this book is here for a reason—to teach you exactly how some aspect of this craft and business works, and how you can make it work for you.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2015 16_A70_TV_Acad_Ad.qxp_Layout 1 7/8/16 11:43 AM Page 1 PROUD MEMBER OF »CBS THE TELEVISION ACADEMY 2 ©2016 CBS Broadcasting Inc. MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AS THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF CONTENT HAVE INCREASED in what is widely regarded as television’s second Golden Age, so have employment opportunities for the talented men and women who create that programming. And as our industry, and the content we produce, have become more relevant, so has the relevance of the Television Academy increased as an essential resource for television professionals. In 2015, this was reflected in the steady rise in our membership — surpassing 20,000 for the first time in our history — as well as the expanding slate of Academy-sponsored activities and the heightened attention paid to such high-profile events as the Television Academy Honors and, of course, the Creative Arts Awards and the Emmy Awards. Navigating an industry in the midst of such profound change is both exciting and, at times, a bit daunting. Reimagined models of production and distribution — along with technological innovations and the emergence of new over-the-top platforms — have led to a seemingly endless surge of creativity, and an array of viewing options. As the leading membership organization for television professionals and home to the industry’s most prestigious award, the Academy is committed to remaining at the vanguard of all aspects of television. Toward that end, we are always evaluating our own practices in order to stay ahead of industry changes, and we are proud to guide the conversation for television’s future generations.

INDUSTRY PROS AND CONS 9. HOW DO I BEGIN? 2 WELCOME Welcome! I want to personally thank you for your interest in this publication. I’ve been fortunate to produce voice overs and educate aspiring voice actors for more than 20 years, and it is an experience I continue to sincerely enjoy. While there are always opportunities to learn something new, I feel that true excitement comes from a decision to choose something to learn about. As is common with many professions, there’s a lot of information out there about the voice over field. The good news is that most of that information is valuable. Of course, there will always be information that doesn’t exactly satisfy your specific curiosity. Fortunately for you, there are always new learning opportunities. Unfortunately, there is also information out there that sensationalizes our industry or presents it in an unrealistic manner. One of my primary goals in developing this publication is to introduce the voice over field in a manner that is realistic. I will share information based on my own experience, but I’ll also share information from other professionals, including voice actors, casting professionals, agents, and producers. And I’ll incorporate perspective from people who hire voice actors. After all, if you understand the mindset of a potential client, you are much more likely to position yourself for success.

It seemed more like two months. At times, even two weeks. Why? Because even though I have worked in TV for more than three decades, I have never seen our industry undergo such extraordinary — and extraordinarily exciting — changes as it has in recent years. Everywhere you turn, the vanguard is disrupting the old guard with an astonishing new technology, an amazing new show, an inspired new way to structure a business deal. This is not to imply that the more established segments of our industry have been pushed aside. On the contrary, the broadcast and cable networks continue to produce terrific work that is heralded by critics and rewarded each year at the Emmys. And broadcast networks still command the largest viewing audience across all of their platforms. With our medium thriving as never before, this is a great time to work in television, and a great time to be part of the Television Academy. Consider the 65th Emmy Awards. The CBS telecast, hosted by the always-entertaining Neil Patrick Harris, drew our largest audience since 2005.

  • Author Functions, Auteur Fictions Understanding Authorship in Conglomerate Hollywood Commerce, Culture, and Narrative
    Author Functions, Auteur Fictions Understanding Authorship in Conglomerate Hollywood Commerce, Culture, and Narrative VOLUME I: ARGUMENTS Thomas James Wardak A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities School of English Literature March 2017 i Abstract In 1990, Timothy Corrigan identified a rising trend in Hollywood film marketing wherein the director, or auteur, had become commercially galvanised as a brand icon. This thesis updates Corrigan’s treatise on the ‘commerce of auteurism’ to a specific 2017 perspective in order to dismantle the discursive mechanisms by which commodified author-brands create meaning and value in Conglomerate Hollywood’s promotional superstructure. By adopting a tripartite theoretical/industrial/textual analytical framework distinct from the humanistic and subjectivist excesses of traditional auteurism, by which conceptions of film authorship have typically been circumscribed, this thesis seeks to answer the oft- neglected question how does authorship work as it relates to the contemporary blockbuster narrative. Naturally, this necessitates a corresponding understanding of how texts work, which leads to the construction of a spectator-centric cognitive narratorial heuristic that conceptualises ‘the author’ as a hermeneutic code which may be activated when presented with sufficient ‘authorial’ signals. Of course, authorial signals do not only emanate from films but also promotional paratexts such
