How To Become A Working Voice Artist

By Timothy Brown


In all the world of entertainment, there are a lot of different types of actors. Some specialize in feature film movies, others command the stage, and still more prefer to do television, commercials, and a variety of other genres. One very popular area of performance is that of the voice artist, which is used in many ways.

Each type of acting has its own specific requirements and performance elements. This is especially true when it comes to the various styles of vocal arts. Such skills are used in many different ways including animated movies, video games, television and radio commercials, telephone advertising, and the list just keeps going.

Contrary to popular opinion, there is a lot of preparation, hard work and health maintenance that goes into the vocal acting. In this job, a person's sound is what is important, and their looks are inconsequential. To ensure that one gives a quality performance each and every time, they will need to avoid straining their chords and continue to train themselves to improve on a regular basis.

All of those interested in working in this entertainment field may want to make an investment in finding quality vocal training. It is advisable to find an instructor who has worked with other actors in this line of acting. The benefits of these classes are that one learns how to deliver better pronunciation and diction, control their breaks and speech, and to breathe in such a way as to allow smoother delivery.

The next step would be to cut a demo tape that will be submitted with all resume's and should show one's full range of ability . For the best results, it is important that this recording be done in a professional studio so that the sound is top notch and that all background noise, which may distract from the clarity, be eliminated. Most clients nowt require these submissions to be done as digital media, or put onto a compact disc.

To begin the search for jobs, an actor must first decide not only what area they want to work in, but also what level they wish to be on. The four main categories in this field are Local, Regional, National, and International. Each one comes with their own individual requirements, challenges, and rewards

Preparing and submitting resume's and demo tapes is the next logical step after deciding which level and genre one would enjoy working the most. One must be very patient when it comes to being rejected, and should be persistent enough to apply for every job that they would like to do, in order to increase their odds of acceptance. Gaining profitable employment and being noticed by an agency is much easier when one has perseverance and determination.

Some of the many areas that offer vocal actors possible employment opportunities include GPS systems, radio advertisement, animated features, television commercials, children's programming, public announcements, and video games. All types of voices, from the smooth and beautiful, to the rough and rugged, and even the strange and unique, are needed. Those who are diligent in going after many roles, persistent in sending out a lot of resume's, and who invest in a high quality demo tape, may find that they have a beneficial advantage.
