VO4TA: Tempo — No.1
From the Best of VO4TA Tempo of a read (faster or slower) is controlled by the pace of the cadence of its syllables and by the length of the spaces between sentences, phrases and words. It’s an invisible art and so very effective at changing the emotional intent of a read. A “hard sell” can become simply “authoritative”. A “romantic” read can become “passionate”. A “bright and perky” read can be “friendly”. And tempo is rarely described in the spec of a copy.VoiceOverForTheActor1 min read
