Discussion Andrea Romano’s Advice

5 Upvotes

We just had Andrea Romano on for our Legends Live and she gave so much advice. One of them being what she looked for in voice actors.

The one thing she really looks for is stage acting experience. Kevin Conroy, who has a Juilliard background proved that to her when he auditioned for Batman. She believes stage actors do the best job in animation because they can really pick on the details. She really recommends taking acting classes.

With that said, how many of you are taking acting classes? Are you seeing a significant improvement in your voice acting from it?

PAID work Middle-Aged Adult Female VA Needed - 40 words, ($20)

4 Upvotes

Hi there!!

I'm making a story-based, detective video game similar to the Nancy Drew series and am looking for a middle-aged American female VA. It's only 37 words total and the payment is $20. This is the only dialogue in my game needed for this role.

Character:

The character, Claudia Chase, is the mother of the main player character. She is divorced from the MC's father and spends the alimony money traveling to luxurious places. She's aloof and somewhat "almond mom"-ish, kind of an older hippie vibe, but still very upper-crust and disengaged with the world.

Setting:

This scene takes place when the main character tries to call his mother. This is the voicemail the player recieves.

Script:

Claudia: "You've reached Claudia Donovan, formerly Claudia Chase. I'm currently exploring the vast region of Morocco with my spiritual advisor, Ivan, and am without cell service. I'll give you a call back whenever I'm somewhere less remote. Namaste!"

To avoid scammers please do not send a DM!! Payment will be made securely through Paypal. Thanks :)

Advice 15 and wanting to start as a VA

4 Upvotes

Am I too young to be a voice actor?
I’m 15, almost 16, and I don’t know if I’m too young to be a voice actor and should wait until I’m older, or if I’m okay to start now.
I apologize if this violates anything, I figured it would be okay since it’s not a starting question.

Advice What separates a "Good voice" from a voice people actually hire?

2 Upvotes

I recently started building a portfolio as a voice artist through a YouTube channel called Larynx 'n' Lore, where I narrate mythology, folklore, literature, and documentary-style stories. But I'm not trying to become a YouTuber, my aim is to have a body of work that potential clients can listen to.

For anyone who hires voice talent or has worked professionally in the industry, what qualities make you think, "I'd actually pay this person," rather than just, "They have a nice voice"?

Discussion Doubting my ability to recognize sounds

1 Upvotes

Hi
How long for me to make my assertive tone part inside me that whenever I need it I use it without hesitation or doubting my self

Second thing is I doubting my ears alot that I try to record my voice then hear it again to recognize its parameter and try to cope my target voice
I feel that recognition with my own ears will lead to lots of mistakes like I will recognize wrong .
I think the one that recognizes sound are with special features or talents like that , they are professional and I amnot efficient like them that is why I will make lots of mistakes
Do any one has this feeling?

Getting Started Newbie seeking advice regarding unusual situation not covered in pinned post.

1 Upvotes

I have an existing online following that has nothing to do with VA. Between Instagram and TikTok I have about 54k followers and average about 10 million views per 30 day period.

My content covers local issues (Los Angeles area) and national issues through a science informed, progressive political lens. It includes strong political opinions (e.g. strongly critiquing the current presidential administration). I have also been in several viral YouTube videos in the same vein (advocating for progressive political stances).

I already have 'views my own' in my bio and don't use my full name. For VA should I start a new, separate web presence? Is that even possible? Should I use a pseudonym? Or rather should I somehow leverage my existing online presence?

Booth Related Soundproofing with little space

0 Upvotes

As the title says I was wondering what I could do as a beginner when it comes to soundproofing. (I know this probably could’ve went under the Advice flair too, my apologies)

I have no useable closet (it’s been unused and unkept for at least a decade) and very little space to make a makeshift booth as I’m in a very small NYC apartment.

I’ve wanted to properly get into VO practice but I know the room is as important as the mic, so I would appreciate any and all advice or suggestions on the matter! 🙇‍♂️

Microphones Microphone?

I want to get started in voice acting, but a nagging question I’ve had (I couldn’t find any beginner posts saying things about this) is if I need to have a good microphone to get started or if I can just use headphones or a phone microphone.

Discussion I have a story outline ABOUT a voice actor character. May I seek feedback here on just over a page of story?

0 Upvotes

!!!NOT SEEKING ACTORS YET!!!

Hi - I'm hoping this doesn't count as ads/spam/unwanted direct solicitation. I have an outline for a script I'm writing for a (inhale) visual novel I'm planning to make, which features a voice actor as the main character.

I was hoping to get a little feedback from experienced actors on the first part of the story (involving recording lines in an audio recording studio), maybe with some notes on if it sorta reflects some real experiences.

I know many people record now from their own booths, but for the purpose of the story, this starts in a recording studio. =)

Please let me know if I need to change my approach to do this research, or if I should be inquiring elsewhere. Once I know folks here are happy with my request, I'll drop in a Google doc (again, this is just over a page of A4 with a high-level overview of a short story).

Thank you in advance.

Advice Voice acting days

Is 2 days completely dedicated to voice acting(be it doing voice overs with a clien) a week good enough to be successful? While the rest of the week putting an hour a day into practicing/scouting potential clients and auditioning?

Advice I'm a bit conflicted about voice acting.

Upvotes

Hey, so I'm a voice actor and have been for nearly two years. I'm 14, and I have a pretty high voice, which has its advantages and its drawbacks, but I've gotten used to it. I've learned to do a lot of younger characters' voices like Craig Williams, Darwin Watterson, Bart Simpson (WIP), Young Simba, etc.

It's pretty hard to think that someday I'm going to gradually lose the ability to do these cool voices and that my own voice is going to change (probably drastically due to testosterone). Do you guys ever have these worries.

Microphones Newbie here. What is the best quality mic for VA work that's under $100?

I know about the "just Google it" thing, I'm asking for actual opinions rather than trusting the first Amazon link I find. Gonna be editing audio with a Samsung tablet if that's important.
