0252 – Non-Word Sounds
It’s not just words that are requested in voice overs and voice acting. As we just saw, there are sighs gasps and screams too. Here are a few more sounds which are often requested at sessions, and which might be worth you practicing:
· burping
· cheering
· crying
· drinking
· gasping
· laughing
· sneezing / blowing nose
Also common ones in games:
· climbing and lifting oneself up
· jumping up, landing down and falling impacts
· punching and being punched
· kicking and being kicked
· lifting an object (light, medium, heavy)
· throwing (a rock, spear)
· dying (from being stabbed, choked, shot and so on)

Peter has been around voice and audio all his working life and
has trained hundreds of broadcasters in all styles of radio from pop music
stations such as Capital FM and BBC Radio 1 to Heart FM, the classical music
station BBC Radio 3 and regional BBC stations. He’s trained news presenters on
regional TV, the BBC News Channel and on flagship programmes such as the BBC’s
Panorama. Other trainees have been music presenters, breakfast show hosts,
travel news presenters and voice-over artists.
He has written a number of books on audio and video presentation
and production (“Essential Radio Journalism”, “JournoLists”, two editions of
“Essential Radio Skills” and three editions of “Broadcast Journalism”) and has
written on voice and presentation skills in the BBC’s in-house newspaper
“Ariel”.
Peter has presented hundreds of radio shows (you may have heard
him on BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 4, Virgin Radio or Kiss, as well as BBC regional
radio) with formats as diverse as music-presentation, interview shows,
‘special’ programmes for elections and budgets, live outside broadcasts and
commentaries and even the occasional sports, gardening and dedication
programmes. He has read several thousand news bulletins, and hosted nearly
2,000 podcast episodes, and is a vocal image consultant advising in all aspects
of voice and speech training for presenters on radio and TV, podcasts and
YouTube, voiceovers and videocalls.
The podcast title refers to those who may wish to change their
speaking voice in some way. It is not a suggestion that anyone should, or be
pressured into needing to. We love accents and dialects, and are well aware
that how we speak changes over time. The key is: is your voice successfully
communicating your message, so it is being understood (and potentially being
acted upon) by your target audience?
This podcast is London-based and examples are spoken in the RP
(Received Pronunciation) / standard-English / BBC English pronunciation,
although invariably applicable to other languages, accents and dialects.
