Voice acting

So there are three things that Ive decided I'm Willing to with my life (First option, a back up, and a back up for the back up, I find all three interesting) So after finding out that the first is not availible to me, due to my Aspergers syndrome, I have moved on to the back up which is Voice acting, I've heard this is a very hard buisness to break into and that it is very expensive to put together a demo reel, So I thought that I would come here, to see whether anybody with experience has any tips for me!

  • One thing I know for sure. You need to have balls to talk in the weirdest voice imaginable around other people and be completely serious about it. If you can do that. You're good.

  • You should do daily voice exercises and start looking for auditions. Also, what was the first thing?

  • You could just buy a good microphone and then record a variety of voices. If you post demo reels on freelance voice acting sites then eventually someone will get in touch.

Unless you can do character voices, or a ridiculous amount of exaggerated accents, it'll be extremely difficult to get into the field.

They might sound right to you, but you're always speaking differently than you think.

  • Always could nominate yourself for some Indie work? You won't get paid, but it'll count for something.
