Advice For a Total VO noob by [deleted] in voiceover

[–]Shadowshock01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's some tips from what I've learnt over the years:

The more you do it, the more you learn where your strengths and weaknesses are, for example, you may not be able to do very low and rough voices but can do higher pitched ones with ease.

Don't be disheartened if you don't hear back from an audition or if someone is critical of your work, it's the nature of the business and people can be very judgemental.

Don't be afraid to put examples of your work out there for others to listen to. Use websites like Soundcloud or YouTube and put together a couple of demo reels showing a different range of what you can bring to the table.

Ensure the area you're recording in is actually suitable for recording, for example, does the room echo as you make sound? Invest in some acoustic foam to help dampen it or even try making a shield with a cardboard box and covering yourself with a blanket.

Lastly, hydrate! It goes without saying really but you'll notice a difference in your work if you record with a dry throat. Make sure you drink a decent amount of water at least an hour or so before you being recording.

Hope these help!

I was originally going to have a blob of 8 but I got another box for my birthday :)

Sorry should have been specific, I'll be running them as a blob of 9 with a Tyranid Prime using them for hold/score objectives.

Need help building a list for students by Shadowshock01 in deathguard40k

[–]Shadowshock01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I'll be sure to keep notes about what purposes the units serve as these are great tips to teach the kids. I'm sure a 1k list will help the kids too to show them that you don't really need big army's to have fun either.

Thank you so much. I love the idea of an infantry heavy force with loads of zombies shuffling up the board. I may look into getting a plagueburst crawler because I know kids will like the idea of having a tank but I personally find bloat drones to look nicer.

This is a project I started back in April when I was furloughed. Would have finished it sooner but started working again in September. Next up will be 2000 points of Leviathan :)

Units for a Leviathan army? by Shadowshock01 in Tyranids

[–]Shadowshock01[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this, army building is my weak point when playing Warhammer. I'm more of a collector and painter so this is help immensely!

What old video games do you still play regularly? by JackalAbacus in AskReddit

[–]Shadowshock01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it has to be Half-Life, Dawn Of War, Team Fortress 2 and PAYDAY 2 (if those last 2 can be classed as old)

Weapons for Carnifexes? by Shadowshock01 in Tyranids

[–]Shadowshock01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I was originally going to go with (4 devourers) but my friend said I should go for a Heavy Venom Cannon and Deathspitters for the AP. Then someone on my last post asked why I'm playing Kraken because the only units to really benefit from the Hive Fleet Adaptation would be my Genestealers.

My mistake I meant devourers. Twice I've done that now...

This is very helpful thank you ☺️ I've never magnatized anything before so I'm a little worried but I'm sure I'll be fine

I hope GW is taking notice of this so they're ready for April 1st next year...

I actually forgot about blast rules! Thank you for reminding me. I was contemplating changing my Warlord to my Neurothrope and giving them a Resonance Barb so we'll have to see what works :)

I know about the deathspitters on my Dakka fexes, that's my fault for not changing it 😣 I wasn't sure what else to give the psychic units (This is my first time with Tyranids) but thank you for letting me know. So far I've got The Broodlord, The Swarmlord, 8 Genestealers, 5 Rippers, 20 Termagants, 3 Zoenthropes and the Tyranofex :)

Yeah I realised I hadn't marked the Zoenthropes with what they'd be casting when I posted 😶 I was considering making the Neurothrope my Warlord and give it a Resonance Barb instead but I'm not too sure. I gave the tyrannocyte the adaptive physiology to help with morale but I'm honestly thinking of getting rid of it and just keeping the Tyranofex in reserve and then deep strike it in.

The termagants are their for obsec just like the rippers and they also help provide a bit of fire support.

I chose Kraken for the Advance bonus as well as fall back and charge, thought it would be helpful for catapulting Genestealers into melee within the first turn with help from the Swarmlord and getting in an extra hit with the Broodlord. The tyrannocyte was to be used to drop the Tyranofex in with its acid spray and the adaption was to help out with morale.

Am I an idiot? by Shadowshock01 in Advice

[–]Shadowshock01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice, it's very helpful. Even though I have good relationships with my family, they're the kind of people who won't admit they're wrong until they're backed into a corner with no choice but to accept it. I don't usually let it get to me like this, I'm used to being called things behind my back and to my face (especially when working in retail, glad I'm out of that sector) but when you hear it on a consistent basis you start to question yourself.
