How To Become A Voice Talent Artist

By Harold Parker


While most often, individuals interested in film and television want to become actors, directors and writers, others desire to become vocal artists. For these individuals, there is more than one way to become involved with projects that require voice talent. For example, an individual can acquire a vocal acting coach, attend classroom or online training.

In most cases, these professionals have attended years of training, especially those hoping to become a vocal coach. For those seeking a coach, it is often advised to check credentials and references before signing a contract or making payments. While most are honest, there are also those whom simply place ads on craigslist and other websites. While these individuals are often happy to provide advice, many are not qualified to do so.

Once having obtained a coach, it is important to listen to any advice provided. In addition to professional coaching, there are also webinars and workshops which can be quite helpful to those staring out in the field. As such, it is also important to know what specific area one is most interested in providing voice over work.

When it comes to voice acting, there are often many different areas of focus. While most artists work in many different areas, others prefer a specific focus. As a result, it is important to understand the difference between different acting styles. For example, when working in the area of commercials, the spotlight is always on the product or service. Whereas, when working in film and television, the artist generally needs to be able to create and portray the voice of a specific character or characters.

Individuals whom are serious about working in the area often need to purchase a home studio, pay for training sessions and marketing materials. As such, while it can be gratifying to eventually make money in the industry, there are also a lot of upfront costs. While this is the case, those doing so can often make more money than someone simply trying to record sessions on a desktop, laptop or tablet.

Individuals working in this area can not take revisions as a personal reflection on the quality of work submitted. As such, it is imperative that individuals working in this field understand that directors, project managers and writers can often change a script at the last minute. A process which can require several revisions unrelated to the quality or style of work previously submitted.

Generally, a project will only require one or two rounds of revisions before being finalized. As such, once the project is complete, the artist is then notified. In some cases, artists work on a number of different projects for different people. Whereas, others work on multiple projects for the same person or studio. Whatever the case, it is essential that the artist always review all audio material before each submission, especially if doing so after revisions.

Ultimately, most individuals obtaining this type work will find some level of success. Although, there are also those whom as much as one might want to work in the field, are just not a good fit. While this is the case, there are other areas of the field in which these individuals might be qualified. As such, just because one might not be successful as a voice actor does not mean that there are not other areas in which the individual might find work in the industry.
