    VOICE OVERS: WHERE DO I BEGIN? 1. WELCOME 2. GETTING STARTED 3. WHAT IS A VOICE OVER? 4. ON THE JOB 5. TODAY’S VOICE 6. UNDERSTANDING YOUR VOICE 7. WHERE TO LOOK FOR WORK 8. 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.

    Original Article KOME − An International Journal of Pure Communication Inquiry Dubbing Viewers in Volume 8 Issue 1, p. 23-43. © The Author(s) 2020 Cyberspaces: A Netnographic Reprints and Permission: [email protected] Investigation of the Attitudes of a Published by the Hungarian Communication Studies Association Persian -language Online DOI: 10.17646/KOME.75672.45 C ommunity Saeed Ameri and Masood Khoshsaligheh Department of English, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, IRAN Abstract: It appears that online communities have provided a free and user-friendly platform for users to do many real-time pieces of stuff from doing translations to discuss translations. The field of translation studies has begun to investigate these online virtual environments for varied perspectives. Nevertheless, the existing research has mainly addressed fansubbing communities. The present investigation, however, analyzed a Persian-language online community where its users exchanged comments and shared ideas regarding dubbing in Iran. For the purposes of this study, netnography, as a reliable research method within the marketing discipline and communication studies, was employed to study the community and its members. The collection and analysis of posts and comments from this online community yielded new insights into Persian dubbing and how Iranian dubbing audiences view Persian dubbing. On another level, the study provided evidence supporting the application of netnography as a methodological tool in investigating reception in audiovisual translation. Keywords: Netnography; dubbing; reception; Iranian viewers; participant observation; online community Introduction Since the inception of translation studies (TS), varied and original investigative methods have been introduced into the discipline, including Internet-mediated, sociological and ethnographic approaches (Saldanha & O’Brien, 2013).

    Identifying the Art of Stage Management in Chicago Danny Fender Spring 2019 Thesis submitted in completion of Honors Senior Capstone requirements for the DePaul University Honors Program Thesis Director: Susan Fenty Studham, PhD, Stage Management Faculty Reader: Coya Paz, PhD, Theatre Arts Fender 1 ABSTRACT The purpose of this project is to gain a diverse range of perspectives from Chicago theatre practitioners on artistry as it relates to the role of a stage manager. By gathering existing definitions of the roles and responsibilities of artists and comparing them to surveyed responses, this project explores both how stage managers identify their role in professional theatre, and how designers, directors, artistic directors, and dramaturgs perceive the role of a stage manager. This research will provide an overview of how Chicago theatre professionals define an artist, and if stage managers fit into those unique definitions.

  • Dubbing Animation Into Spanish: Behind the Voices of Animated Characters Sofía Sánchez Mompeán, Universidad De Murcia
    The Journal of Specialised Translation Issue 23 – January 2015 Dubbing animation into Spanish: behind the voices of animated characters Sofía Sánchez Mompeán, Universidad de Murcia ABSTRACT In response to the burgeoning growth that the animation market has witnessed in recent years and to the competitive rivalry that exists within the industry, the presence of celebrity voices in animated movies is increasingly regarded as an effective strategy to broaden audience appeal. This paper attempts to determine if the use of celebrities in the original version may somehow influence the way the target text is dubbed in foreign markets. A clean-cut distinction between two key concepts that are sometimes overlapped, voice acting and dubbing, will not only provide the perfect backdrop for the upcoming sections, but will also offer useful context to understand their theoretical and practical limitations. The data under study will illustrate the current panorama within the Spanish dubbing framework by comparing the presence of both celebrities and dubbing actors in those Hollywood blockbusters released in Spain from 2007 to 2013. The results obtained suggest that some of the strategies used in the dubbed version might indeed be prompted by the original voicing. KEYWORDS Dubbing, voice acting, animated films, celebrities, dubbing actors, voice actors. 1. Introduction Animation is in vogue. The exponential growth that this genre has experienced over the last decade has even led to talk about a period of “animation congestion” (Verrier 2013). In the US, one of the leading countries in animation production, the total amount of movies produced per year since the turn of the new century has doubled from 18 films in 2000 to 37 in 2013, reaching its peak in 2011 with 45 productions, as shown in Figure 1.
