VirtualDJ Radio ClubZone - Channel 1 - Recorded Live Sets Podcast
Live Recorded Set from VirtualDJ Radio ClubZone
I attended college in northeastern Vermont from 1977-1981. One of the things I enjoyed was being a part of the college's radio station, WWLR-FM, then only ten watts (now it's broadcasting at 3,000 watts, an increase that happened shortly after I graduated). I was not new to the world of radio, however. My radio "career" started at age 15 when I started providing weekend weather forecasts on my hometown station in New Bedford, Massachusetts, 1420-AM, WBSM, something I did faithfully until I started college in September of 1977. One of my dearest "lifer friends," Bob Gilmore, is also a radiophile. You can read about him in my first book, The Extra Mile. Recently, he came across a radio air check of one of my Saturday afternoon radio shows on WWLR-FM. It's from October of 1980, during my senior year at Lyndon State College. Yes, that's OVER 40 years ago! Because it's Open Line Friday, I've decided to go rogue and share a "scoped*" version of my first hour of my shift, a radio program I called The Sound Connection. It naturally brought back a ton of memories for me. It's my hope you'll, at the very least, smile when you listen in. I'd love to know what you think.

“It bothers me so much to see companies out there that are taking advantage of people or, you know, preying on their hopes and dreams. I mean, I have never, ever told anybody that this was easy, as being a voice actor, and I never told them that it was fast. I've always said that it's a crock-pot career, it's not a microwave meal." -- Dan Friedman This episode is the second half of my interview with audio engineer, voiceover coach, and author Dan Friedman as we talk about voice performance, the changes the pandemic has brought to the voice recording industry, and how his family helps inspire him as a voice teacher. As always, if you have any questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes.

An Expressive Job We start the episode with Dan's practical vocal advice on everything from breathing through your diaphragm to staying hydrated, and a look at the differences between voice and television acting, something he's particularly familiar with after filming a television pilot. “It's expressive,” Dan says about voice performance. “This is an expressive job, so it doesn't really work so well on camera, but it works really well for voiceover.” Dan also talks about how he's working to preserve some of the unique qualities of voiceover that might get lost in the age of new media and streaming video. "I'm old enough that I can certainly help teach a new generation how to be the best that they can be at this and help communicate more effectively because we really are losing a lot of that in our society." Communicating Your Intentions Dan tells us about some of the more memorable clients that he's helped with communicating their intentions, and how a good performance brings the words on the page to life. “When you're not communicating that and you're just reading the words off the page,” he says, “obviously it's not really moving anybody. But when you're trying to present these things, let's present them in a way that people want to connect with it emotionally.” We also look at how the pandemic has changed the home studio market and made the technical aspects of voiceover, from soundproofing to microphones, more accessible than ever before. “Now it really comes down to talent and the environment they're in,” he explains, “and to how they ultimately sound and whether they'll be able to do all that.” No Day is the Same As the interview comes to a close, we share anecdotes about how, in voiceover, no two days are the same, and Dan takes the opportunity to tell us more about his family. “I've got the platform,” he jokes, “so I'm going to brag on my kids for a second.” He tells us about his wife and children, and how their support has inspired him as a voice coach, “If I can turn out kids that are this good,” he says, “I must be able to teach somebody something.” We end the show with a look at some of his upcoming projects and how you can get in touch with him. As he puts it, “I love seeing great people being successful.” Episode Summary The distinctive challenges of video and audio performances How streaming video and social media are changing voiceover Effective audio communication and bringing a script to life How Dan's family has inspired him and how to reach out to him Connect with the Guest: Website: https://sound4VO.com (www.Sound4VO.com) Follow Dan Friedman on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dan.friedman.sound4vo (https://www.facebook.com/dan.friedman.sound4vo) Connect with Dan Friedman on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danfriedmanvo/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/danfriedmanvo/)...
“But we do have to remember that when we are communicating, when words are coming out of our mouths and reaching somebody's ears, that's a connection, that's a strong connection, and if we are not really believing in the things that we are saying, or feeling the things that we are saying, or able to create a feeling that's strong, then that connection won't be strong enough. And that's really important in both communicating and advertising and providing information, and all of the things that we do as voice people. We are communicators first and foremost, always.” -- Dan Friedman This episode's guest has been in the voiceover industry for nearly two decades, voicing projects for Crowne Plaza Hotels, Hulu Plus, Walmart, Hardees, Aetna, and many more, and a professional audio engineer for twenty-five years. He's produced, directed, and provided his voice to thousands of audio productions, and in 2010 he published a book called Sound Advice: Voiceover From an Audio Engineer's Perspective. A first of its kind in the industry, the book covers audio engineering and studio session etiquette as it relates directly to voiceover talent. He continues to write a popular blog on his website, Sound4VO.com, and he's a well-known voiceover coach, teacher, and home studio consultant., as well as a certified coach in the Roger Love Voice Method. His name is Dan Friedman, and I'm looking forward to sharing his perspective on how we can learn to better communicate. He's seen it all, from both sides of the glass, so I know he has lots of golden nuggets to share.

Hearing and Getting It We start things off with a look at Dan's earliest memories of sound. He tells us about the first song he ever fell in love with and the chills that Mary Clayton's voice in "Gimme Shelter" still gives him. He recalls his early career, and how a surprise job opportunity as an audio engineer inspired him to pursue a deeper understanding of the science of sound. "Here I was," he says, "working for these big acts at times, and just thinking 'I get it, but I don't get it. I can hear it, but I don't get it." An Emotional Connection Dan tells us about his experience becoming a certified Roger Love Voice Method coach, how he discovered an unexpected talent for singing, and the further insight it gave him into the different elements of voiceover and voice performance. “All of these things,” he explains, “are interesting nuances that I can add to my repertoire of coaching and direction, and that's just really been transformational.” But the most important aspect of voiceover is something less tangible: “To be successful,” Dan says, “you have to have an emotional connection in some way.” We Are Communicators We continue as Dan elaborates on the emotional core and personal connection that voice can provide between the speaker and listener. He explains how a voice coach can help with forging that connection, and talks about some of the mistakes that even highly trained professional voiceover artists can make. As he puts it, "people don't hear their own voices that way. So when you work with a coach, when you work with a director, they're able to steer all this so that it's a cohesive package." All the Pieces of the Puzzle The first half of our interview ends with a look at how a flexible tone and sense of nuance can bring a script to life, how experienced performers can sometimes find the process even more of a challenge than artists who are just starting out, and...
Andy has a really fun interview planned for this episode – an interview with the highly successful Brazilian model Daniela Braga! Daniela is based out of New York City and has done campaigns for Givenchy, Balmain, Avon, Pantene, and so many others. She has been featured on the covers of various prestigious magazines such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, V, Marie Claire, and Cosmopolitan in several countries such as the United States, Brazil, Italy, and France. And she has worked with several important photographers in the fashion industry. Daniela also walked four consecutive times in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. She was even cast for the TV show Model Squad on E! in 2018, and in addition to modeling, she is an ambassador for World of Children. Andy actually had the pleasure of meeting Dany and her husband Adam Freede, as he, with his band Sound Connection, produced the music for their wedding ceremony and reception! She talks with Andy today about how a stranger's Gucci bag led to not only a friendship but also her marriage to her husband. She also chronicles how she got engaged and how Adam hired an event planner for the night that he proposed to her, how she went about deciding where to get married and how the COVID-19 pandemic affected her decision, and so forth. She also enthusiastically credits the various designers involved in her wedding and how much she loved her stunning wedding dress designed by Galia Lahav and describes her mini-honeymoon (or mini-moon). Dany also touches upon Vogue having covered her wedding and if and when we might be able to expect that coverage to be published as well as what she looks forward to this year in 2022. Andy had so much fun talking with Daniela about her wedding and is appreciative of her time!
