For video games and anime, how much time does a voice actor have in the booth to analyze and mark up a script before recording lines? by GregFromThatVideo  •  last post Jul 22nd

I know that film, tv, and theatre actors will take their scripts home and really pore over them. But I've heard you don't really have the time for that when you're voice acting in a studio with an engineer and a director.

What Tom Hanks Told Me Changed How I View Working On Sets by Aaron Marcus  •  last post Jul 21st

I had a scene with Tom Hanks in A Man Called Otto. Between takes, I thanked him for something he did — and what he said back has genuinely changed how I show up on every set since.

Urgent voice actor inquiry by RichTomatillo3466  •  last post Jul 21st

Hi! Kind of a weird request - Does anyone know this 2016-era voice actor used in this video at the 2:05 mark? Thanks a lot! I assume he would be found through the F word platform or youtube at the time but after long searches I haven’t been able to find him.

What character type(s) do you think my voice fits? What stands out about it to you first? by StreetIndependence62  •  last post Jul 21st

Hey everyone, I’m not a voice actor but I AM a public speaker (as a hobby) and have also done a few voice over things for my friends’ projects and a few of my own. I’ve got two questions just out of curiosity: 1. what stands out about my voice FIRST when you hear it? 2. are there any specific character types that you think it would be a good fit for? Again, I’m asking totally out of curiosity, and everything I’m typing here is being said in a genuine way and NOT condescending or snarky at all. I would really love to hear what your guys’ thoughts are! Edit: thank you to the people who gently pointed out why my question was not very good or helpful. If you’re an actor then you need to be able to make your voice fit whatever character you are given, not force yourself into one box or category. I mostly do public speaking and not acting so I was asking this mostly for fun but I could see now how on a sub specifically for voice acting, people could see it as me not taking their profession seriously. Sorry for the annoying newbie question ya’ll!

Same story. Different actor. Different story. by Doug Kayne  •  last post Jul 20th

Last night, I had the good fortune to be in the audience for THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA at the Pantages Theatre out here in Hollywood.  This was the third time I'd seen it -- the first time, the Phantom was played by Michael Crawford (who originated the role), the second time was with Davis Gaines in the title role, and last night, the role was played by Isaiah Bailey.

For those of you who have not seen the play (or are unfamiliar with the story), I will remain as spoiler-free as I can.  Needless to say, there's the (spoiler) Phantom who (spoiler) tutors the young ingenue, Christine Daae.

In Crawford and Gaines' portrayals, there is a sense that the Phantom has genuinely fallen in love with Christine, and is actually quite tender with her.  This gives the production a strangely romantic note (pun intended), and he is very much a tragic figure, given the circumstances that led to his situation as well as the events of the production.

Interestingly, Bailey's performance last night had a different quality to it.  He seemingly infused his portrayal with possessiveness, turning his actions and relationship with Christine into one that was more sinister in nature.  This seemed to make his Phantom into more of an antagonist and villain, even to the object of his desire.

This made last night's performance a different experience for those of us in attendance who had seen it previously.  It opened up a different perspective to the story, one separate from how it is usually publicized.  And it gives its sequel (no spoilers!), LOVE NEVER DIES, a very different implication.

It's interesting to see how different actors can color a role, living in stark contrast to those who had inhabited it previously.

I remember taking a Shakespeare intensive workshop, where one of the instructors (Armin Shimerman, who was fantastic!) pointed out something rather interesting.  Well, a few things. 
- One, you can easily tell "good Shakespeare" from "bad Shakespeare", because in "good Shakespeare", the actors actually know what they're saying, as opposed to merely saying words in iambic pentameter.
- The second, was how each actor who plays Hamlet can change the character just by where they place their emphasis on "To be, or not to be,  that is the question."  It depends on where you put the emphasis.  "TO BE, or not to be, THAT is the question," is quite different than "To be, or NOT to be, THAT is the question," for example.  And it is the actor's decision therein to show Hamlet's mindset:  Does he want to live, or does he want to die?

Which brings me back to THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA.  Crawford's performance was layered, and showed depth of character.  Gaines' performance was layered, and showed depth of character.  Bailey's performance was layered, and showed depth of character.  And other actors bring their own take to the character as well. 

The script was the same.  The music was the same.  The songs were the same.  The story was different.

So... I accidentally became a web creator today. (〒﹏〒) by Bliss Ganza  •  last post Jul 20th

like HONESTLY BRO
I never thought I'd say that.


A while ago, all I wanted was a place where people could learn about my project, Savage Smile. Today, that idea turned into a real website.

And then something happened...

Someone visited it.

Looking for feedback on a cinematic spoken-word narration style. by StraightDesign8513  •  last post Jul 20th

I've been experimenting with a slower, more intimate narration style and would really appreciate constructive feedback from other voice actors. I'm especially interested in thoughts on: • pacing • vocal warmth • authenticity • emotional delivery • whether the pauses work The piece is an original monologue called **"If You Meet Me Here."**

One year into voice acting, and projects are slowing down. Would love advice from experienced professionals. by WorriedChocolate7929  •  last post Jul 20th

I’m a beginner voice actor, and I’m not sure where this industry is heading. I’m a freelance voice actor, and I also occasionally take on translation projects. I only have about one year of experience — I graduated from school last year and started exploring this field soon after. At first, I was really excited about this career. I enjoyed working with different types of content and improving my skills. However, recently I’ve started feeling a bit uncertain about the future. It seems like the voice industry is changing quickly, especially with the rise of AI voice technology. I’ve noticed fewer opportunities compared to before, and many projects seem to be changing or becoming harder to find. I know every industry goes through changes, But when I actually went through it, I became anxious and uneasy. For those who have been working in voice acting, localization, translation, or related fields for a longer time: Do you think this is still a good industry to stay in and continue developing skills?The people around me and my parents are all urging me to consider changing direction.I don't know how to make a choice

Making ends meet. by Jason Raymaker  •  last post Jul 19th

I am curious.  On our journey as actors not very many of us make much money right away in this highly competitive field.  So what are some of the best and flexible sources of income you have found to help you on your journey?  

A Piece of Advice from Keanu Reeves That Stuck With Me by Chinedu Princess  •  last post Jul 19th

One piece of advice that really stayed with me from Keanu Reeves was:


"Try not to be a f--king a--hole. And go to work and respect who you're working with until they prove they don't get your respect."

As someone beginning my journey as a screenwriter and actress, I think this is a reminder that talent is only part of the equation. The way you treat people, collaborate and carry yourself matters too.

Every project is built by a team and respect is a great place to start. Looking forward to learning from and working with amazing people in this industry.
