FAQ
How does Drew prepare for a reading?
Drew takes his voice work very seriously. In order to give each project his 100%, he carefully reads the project all the way through, determining first if the project is right for him and what value he can add to it.
If he determines that he can bring value to the project, he will read over the project again, figuring out the tone and different character voices, recording techniques, Microphone and preamp choice, and how to maximize the effectiveness of every word of the script.
In addition to the work he does with the script itself, Drew also takes care to keep his voice in the best shape he can, eating low carbs, low caffeine, and exercising daily to maintain the health of his lungs and diaphragm.
He also thoroughly warms up before every reading with vocal exercises to make sure that you are getting his very best effort.
