2. Timing is everything in narration. A professional narrator knows how to adjust his voice pace to still match with the picture and still sound natural.
3. Feel free to try many different readings to the same script, so you give the director and the rest of the cast impression that you are creative and going to add a new dimension to the script.
4. As we mentioned before, you have to be passionate about the topic of the documentary and even if you are not familiar with a new project, you have to give yourself some time to know more about it.
5. Do not settle for what doesn’t seem right, if you feel that you do not make the right reading stop immediately, take a short break and rearranging your papers.
6. Be constructive with comments or feedback about your work, otherwise, you will never make progress in this career.
