If you are a voiceover artist, then you should have a very
close and comfortable relationship with the doctors and other medical
professionals in your life. To be a
great performing artist, you must avoid illness and impairments that could
wreak havoc for your blossoming business.
Just consider these examples of how professionals in the medical field
can make you a better voiceover artist:
1. Vision
Test: Poor vision makes it harder to follow a written script, which
means more mistakes that must be edited at the end of each recording. If you find that you have to squint, move the
pages toward- or away from your face to make out the text, or you end each
recording session with a headache, then it may be time to schedule a vision
test.
2. Hearing
Test: The better you can hear the nuances in your audio recordings, the
better the final product will be when you hand it off to the client. High quality headphones can help with this,
but they aren’t going to be enough if you are struggling with hearing
loss. This may not be as obvious as you
would believe, so if you have any reason to suspect your hearing is waning,
seek the opinion of a specialist.
3. ENT:
Sinus and nasal congestion can really change the tone of your voice. It can also make it more difficult to breathe
properly. Getting winded will make it
much more difficult to create good, clean audio. While colds and allergies do happen, even to
the healthiest individuals, if they linger or are frequent in your life, you
may want to consider a conversation with an Ear Nose and Throat specialist,
before your work is negatively impacted.
4. Bloodwork:
Certain vitamin deficiencies and medical conditions can cause voice weakness
and general fatigue, both of which can be harmful in this line of work. Regular physicals, including blood work, can
help avoid the negative impacts of such deficiencies and conditions.
