Voiceover Acting

Hello,

A great way for actors to make extra money is to start doing some voice over acting. There are literally thousands of voiceovers required daily for radio, cartoons, animation and TV commercials. I have a very close acting friend of mine who makes a very decent living out of using his “acting” voice for voiceovers.

Although it can be a very selective industry and voice actors tend to have a distinguishable voice, there is no reason you cannot give it a try. You won’t know if you don’t try. Practice using your voice in different ways. How much range do you have in your voice? Check with a voice coach if they think you may be suited for voiceovers. If you do start to go down this path, you will want to develop a demo reel of your various vocal options. If you have an agent, check if they are involved in voiceovers or alternatively, start asking around to other actors and teachers in your area.

Voiceover acting is very similar to regular acting except without the camera. You must still use all of your skills as an actor, if not more so. Often times your audience cannot see the expressions or the actions, therefore they must be able to experience what you are experiencing through your voice. Voice over acting will help you to stay on top of your game.
