What this gives me is the inside knowledge of what a read needs to be, in order to fit properly into a particular project. It helps me be a better storyteller. It helps me understand timing and tone. It helps a director explain to me what they're looking for, simply because I understand the realm on the other side of the mic. I also read to children for a couple charities. This certainly helps me with storytelling, but also with understanding the need for freshness and vibrancy within a read.
