13199: What Do They Mean When They Say "Give Me Multiple Takes"?

  • Summary

  • Hey there, hero!

    Like most specialty pursuits, we performers have our own special language when it comes to auditioning and doing the work of actors and voice talent.

    And sometimes, people channel The Princess Bride's Inigo Montoya when it comes to some of that jargon: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

    A good example is the audition request that is phrased like this: "Give me multiple takes."

    In this episode, I'll tell you what I think that means (and give you two hard and fast rules for doing multiple takes), but...does it mean the same to you? Let me know in the comments below.

    REQUEST: Please join this video's conversation on VOHeroes, where the comments are moderated and civil.
