Requirements
You should be excited about wanting to take your acting or voiceover skills to the next level of being a trained Voice Actor, where you can offer character voices and be much more flexible with your voice.
You should have an open mind and be able to criticise your current voice and narration skills.
You should be prepared – to prepare! Solid preparation is key to getting the best results – the best voice actors rehearse and try out new voices all the time for new fiction audiobook characters or for parts in video games and cartoons - if you want great results, you should be prepared to do the same.
You’ll need an audio recording device; a phone in a quiet area is fine to start with, but we have extensive detailed information as to how to set up a professional recording facility at your home.
