Voice acting is a career just like any other that you would think of. For the longest time, voice acting was not a lucrative career where individuals could work in and live comfortably through it. In 2020 that has changed and I can tell you for sure that voice acting is a career that you can live comfortably doing. In the past, screenplay actors would be given an upper hand and get great compensation for their skills while voice actors were sidelined and getting poor compensations for their skills. I’m glad that all that changed and now voice actors are getting a fair share of what they deserve for their hard-earned skills. Voice acting is usually confused for a profession where having a good sound voicing is all you need to make a cut but I will tell you that this notion is far-fetched. Having a great sounding voice is helpful but if that is all you have, then this is not the career path for you. Being a voice actor requires one to have talent. A talent to manipulate their voices to pass a message while still evoking emotions and entertaining an audience. Most of their projects involve working in video games, TV shows, movies, commercials, and movie trailers.

Voice acting is a career that can earn one a living if well used. A voice is a precious weapon someone can use wisely or in the wrong way and ruin his/her life. It is therefore necessary to take care of that precious talent and make a living. Getting an agent depends on certain factors. While many beginning voice actors have heard of voice talent agents, one of the most common questions is “What will getting a voice talent agent ultimately do for my career?” An agent should act a part marketer, part manager. Their primary role is to promote their talent to prospective clients and help them find promising auditions and jobs. Getting agency representation doesn’t guarantee that you’ll land more work, but agents are generally closely connected to studios and ad agencies, who forward them exclusive audition opportunities.

To most voice actors, pop filters are one of the most essential tools in their studio collection that they would nearly never work without one. It speaks about why most photographs of a voice-over talent at a microphone in a studio session have that big black circle that stands between the mic and the talent. But what is a pop filter, and why does it demand to be used? What is a pop filter? A pop filter, also known as a pop shield or pop screen, is a circle of nylon mesh or a thin metal that you attach to your microphone stand, positioned between the microphone and the sound source. The pop filter was invented for the existence of “plosives” — explosive consonants heard from words that start with “p” or “b” which is normally part of our natural speech. They are also sometimes mistakenly referred to as a microphone windscreen or windshield–a similar device that’s primarily used by location sound recordists, for reducing noise from the wind when recording outside.

Depending on the project you want the voice recording for, there are a lot of things that one must consider when looking for voice artists. Looking for voice artists for a particular project is what we term as casting auditions. This is when you get a few talents showcasing their capabilities and capacity to deliver in front of casting directors or talent managers. Different production companies or clients usually have their own ways to carry out the auditions. There is really no standard way to do it, but there are ways that are more effective than others and that is what we will look at in this article. As the voice-acting industry grows, more ways to get the best voice actors are always being introduced and one of them is custom casting auditions. These are auditions that are held specifically for a particular project or a particular form of voice over. As I mentioned before, different production companies have a specific way of casting for their voice talents. Custom casting auditions are formulated to make the whole process easy and straight to the point. They help you get exactly what you are looking for, as a casting director. There are projects that need a very rigorous and hands-on voice talent casting, and in such a case getting one without a custom casting audition would be hard. A good example would be a company looking for specific voices for their advertising purposes to appeal to an international market, in this case, they must get voice artists with great resting tones, acting range and technical skill to do all the recordings. If you are looking for voice artists for a dubbing project, you must ensure you get voice actors who will bring out their character’s personalities in the best way. A pre-recorded sample may not have all the information these clients need to pick their voice artist, and that is where custom auditions come in handy. Custom auditions are also great for projects with multiple levels of casting review. It’s difficult to get stakeholders to approve foreign-language voice-over talents based on pre-recorded samples, especially since they may not extrapolate a final performance from them. A custom audition that allows stakeholders to hear their project’s text will often help to expedite this process. The audition sample can be used as a baseline for direction in the studio session. With that said, we will look at how you can create a specific custom audition for a big project. Keeping in mind that they can be costly, with these steps, you will get one that works well for you without straining your pockets.

The Auditioning Process In Television and Film When you’re called in for an acting audition, the people present at the audition will include you, the casting director, and maybe a handful of other complete strangers. Some of these other people may be the producer, a camera operator (if they’re taping the auditions), the casting director’s bored friend or relative, a representative from the advertiser (in the case of a commercial audition), or a dance choreographer or musical director (in the case of a musical). No matter who is in the room, treat everyone in the room with respect. If someone looks like a sloppily dressed janitor, that person could actually be the producer, so play it safe and treat everyone with courtesy. By the time it’s your turn to audition, the casting director has probably seen hundreds of other people ahead of you, which means the casting director and anyone else in the room is likely to be tired, bored, and irritable. Make the director’s job easy and you increase your chances of having a successful audition. Make the job harder (by not being ready, talking too much, and so on) and you may seriously kill any chances of getting any role. After brief introductions (and make sure you keep them brief), someone may ask for your headshot and resume if you haven’t already handed one in. (Don’t be afraid to pass out multiple copies of your headshot or resume.) At some auditions, someone may take your picture with a digital camera, so the casting director can review all the people who auditioned that day. Be sure to smile and look your very best. If your picture looks nothing like your headshot, you need to get a new headshot. Every actor wants to book a job. A booking means you’ve been hired! What’s the audition process to getting booked?

Here’s how an audition process works and several tips on how best to perform your absolute best facing the casting director or producer. Getting the Audition For most roles, you (or your agent) must submit a photo and resume to whoever is casting the production. Occasionally, you could hear about an “open call” where anyone may arrive at the audition. These types of auditions are often called “cattle calls” because hundreds of people arrive and are quickly herded through. However, most auditions are invitation only. In case you are called for an audition, you’ll often receive “sides”, which are simply just a couple of pages of the script that you will be anticipated to read. In theater, you may also or instead be anticipated to really have a monologue and/or musical number prepared. Either way, after you have a script at hand, it’s time to get down to business.

What Does Voice-Over Entail? It is important to have basic information on the topic at hand so you can understand why it is important for voice over artists to have certain qualities and how they come in handy in their line of work. If you don’t know already Voice-over, also known as off-camera or off-stage commentaries is a production process and technique were we incorporate a voice that is not part of the narrative in radio, television production, filmmaking, theater, or other presentations in form of a narration. What usually happens is, a voice-over artist or a specialist voice talent voices out a script on a recording instrument, sound engineers then synchronize this recording with either an already exiting voiceless video or a grid of motion pictures. The most common technique of voice-overs though is the synchronous dialogue one, where the voice-over is narrating the action that is taking place at the same time. Asynchronous dialogue, used in cinema, is usually pre-recorded and placed over the top of a film or video and commonly used in documentaries or news reports to explain information. There are different instances where one can use voice-overs, and this is from old messages, for motion pictures, and for announcements and information at events and tourist destinations. One can also use them during award ceremonies or during real-life events. It is very important to note that voice-overs are additions to pre-existing scripts, and one should not confuse it with replacing dialogue with a translated version, which is a process known as dubbing or re-voicing. In recent times we have seen how the demand for voice-over artists has grown in leaps and bounds. Every day, amateur and professional videographers, publishers, marketing agencies, and businesses publish thousands of hours of videos online. This results from how easy and inexpensive it is to create and distribute video content. Content that would have been on blogs for people to read is now being created as audio and video content and reaching a wider audience compared to the former. This means that more and more voice over artists are in demand because there is more work for them to engage in. It’s easier to have a lucrative career as a voice-over artist now than it was years back. Their demand is so high and they get handsomely compensated when in high demand.

Making money as a voiceover artist used to mean living in a big city, mailing out demos, and sitting in traffic in between auditions. As with the music industry, though, affordable recording gear, home studios, and the broadband Internet have reshaped the job.
