Do Your VO Reps
We receive many inquiries about how to get started in voice over. The reality is that people get their start in many different ways; some transition from traditional acting or begin in radio, some are even scriptwriters whose scratch track makes the final cut. However, if they or anyone else wants to make voice-acting a long-term career, then training and continued skill growth are necessary.
Voiceover training teaches breathing techniques, cadence, timbre, emotional connection, script interpretation, critical listening, professionalism, and a whole host of other skills needed to establish a long-term, professional career in voiceover.
As in life, you get out what you put in. A professional football player isn't a pro because they walk onto the field. They train, endure, and build their skills over time so that when it comes time to hit the field, they do so at peak performance levels. Voice-over is not any different.
To work consistently as a professional voice actor, you need to do your reps to build your skills.
