Compelling fiction narration is 100% acting and 0% voicing,
says Paul Alan Ruben.

And this is achieved only when you connect the story's subtext to the listener.

In this VoiceOverXtra webinar recording, Paul guides you into that realm to "up your game" - or get you started right on the path to becoming a compelling storyteller.

Then we watch and learn as Paul coaches six narrators to improved performances.

YOU WILL LEARN ...
Specific self-directions ... what you can actually tell yourself while narrating ... that organically connect you to the subtext. Including:
  • What's the feeling? You must know.
  • First person: Place your narrator. Who are you actually talking to? You should know!
  • Third person: Play the POV. Get closer. Step back.
  • Play the subtext, not the words.
  • Match the stakes.
  • Speak like a REAL person.
  • Take your characters seriously.
  • Don't push (help) the works (aka -overact). Think: they (listeners) get it.
  • Drama (non-dialogue): Less, less, less.
  • When I connect, am I connected at a 10? I'd better be.
  • Act the description.

Plus, Paul answers questions in an info-packed Q&A.
