Reaper!

Hey Everybody,

There's a really great software out there for voice actors called Reaper. Well, it's not FOR voice actors but it has some AMAZING things that voice actors can use to speed up the process. Including but not limited to:

1) Rendering multiple files at once
2) Having a naming convention for those files to automate naming
3) Hotkey's to speed up workflow
4) An Action list that extends those hotkeys to just about every type of job
5) The ability to punch and roll

This software also comes with a $60 lifetime price tag. That's kind of ridiculous.

There is also a wealth of videos out there for reaper and if you google Voiceover and Reaper you'll get some great instructional videos on how to use it.

I created a video showing exactly how great  the rendering regions in voiceover option is. Feel free to check out the video.

Word of warning, this is a new software and there's a learning curve. So be patient with yourself. Celebrate your success. You can do it!

Take care everyone!
