    making use of body language

    I've heard in a few interviews that some voice actors will use a specific pose when voicing a charter (I act like I'm holding a coffee mug when I voice this PI, I hunch over and crouch a little when I voice this monkey like charter) and I've talked with some...

    Has anyone done VO work here before?

    I'm trying to find someone to play the line of a husband in a VO performance for a page of dialogue. The issue is that most VO actors only know one speed or overemphasize everything. Does anyone have any experience with this? Would love to talk to someone...
