You're listening to Voice Acting Mastery, episode number 42.

Welcome to the Voice Acting Mastery podcast with Crispin Freeman.

Voiceactingmastery.com is your place to learn both the skills and the mindset you need to become a professional voice actor, even if you're just getting started.

In each episode of this podcast, you'll discover valuable tips, tricks, and

insider information to help you portray characters in animation, video games, and beyond.

And now here's your host, voice actor Crispin Freeman.

Hi there, my name is Crispin Freeman, and I'll be your guide through the world of voice acting.

If you'd like to know more about me, feel free to check up my personal website at www.com.

In this episode, I continue my interview with my good friend and commercial voiceover casting director Juan Carlos

Bagnell. You can find more of his insights on his blog at www.com. In this segment, we discuss some of the

most common misconceptions about commercial voiceover and how to avoid them. Then we talk about

Juan's approach to teaching how to succeed in commercials, including his

method of analyzing scripts and understanding the advertising mindset.

And now the feature segment.

So not only do you have all this extensive work as a casting director, but you've also been teaching people about commercial voiceover as well.

You've taught classes on commercial voiceover.

And that must have been interesting going from working with your ninjas when you were at the top of the game, when you're working at the talent agency, to suddenly being faced with someone who is new to the world of voiceover

and is looking to you now to help them improve their commercial reads.

Well, and this is why I've always appreciated the work that you do on this podcast

and why I've sent so many people to listen to it and why I was so fingers crossed that you

would someday ask me to be on it.

Of course.
