Julie Williams of Voice-Overs.com teaches how coloring the spoken word will sell any service or product.

Toronto, Canada (VOICES.COM) June 19, 2007 -– Julie Williams, teacher and voice acting professional at Voice-Overs.com, became an expert voice over coaching team member at Voices.com, providing voice actors and new talent alike candid advice and a unique perspective on the industry. Julie recently contributed her first lecture to “Voice Over Experts”, http://podcasts.voices.com

Julie Williams’ lecture “Coloring Words” emphasizes the importance of using each word in a voice over script to help shape a phrase and develop voice acting skills that will last. Julie specified that the terms usually colored are adjectives, which are often the most expressive words in any language. When someone learns how to interpret a word and acknowledges its significance, an opportunity arises to make that word rise to its full verbal potential through the art of voice acting incorporating Julie’s word coloring technique.

Voices.com and Julie Williams have collaborated together before through the VOX Talk podcast. The team at Voices.com will be hosting a review of Julie Williams’ educational CD “Proven Voice-Over Techniques” in July 2007. Julie Williams is one of the founding members of the Voice Over Experts crew and she is looking forward to contributing more episodes on a regular basis.
