[Perform-Talk] Question for You Experienced Voice Actors!

[Anne Davis]

Hey everybody!  I know some of you on here are VoiceOver artists and I have an important question, especially as it relates to the use of the braille display.

Currently, I have a chord whereby one end hooks up to my computer, the other end hooks into my BrailleSense.  This makes it a piece of cake in coaching sessions and when I’m practicing copy because I can just get right to it and read it right off my computer.  My only concern is when I record, the click-click-clicking of the braille display is heard crystal clear, which I realize could cause potential distraction to anyone listening.

How have you gotten around this?

Would you recommend using a braille display other than the BrailleSense?  I wonder if, for instance, one of the Brailliant models might be quieter?

I also emboss when necessary, especially if thereare things in the copy I need to mark, underline, or whatever.

But, as you may know,clients can change the script on you at the last minute and several times.

Any tips are greatly appreciated, on or offlist.

As for the Software I use and the mic: I have an AT2035 and I am using Reaper to record😊.

Thanks in advance!

Annie
