Learn about proper ways to give notes to your talent to help get better line readings.
- You've hired great voice talent,…but now you have to give them notes…to get exactly what you want.…So what's the best way to do that?…Even the best actors can sometimes fall into traps…of reading a line the same way over and over.…Here's a few tips and tricks to get your actors…to vary their line readings.…First, only the director or producer…should ever give notes to the actors.…And make sure that the clients, if you have them…in the room with you, know this.…And if they have any notes they should give them…to you or the director.…
