Alrighty, guys. So, I’ve been developing my social skills over the last year and within that time I’ve been getting so many compliments over how soothing and deeper my voice naturally is for a woman, and many…MANY comments saying “you should be a voiceover and/or full on VA because you’ve got such a versatile range and definitely make profit off it. (Let’s just say I can basically be an anime girl, Dommy-mommy or a literal male).

I’ve done a few free projects in the past with some friends for a few video games and I thought they were pretty fun, a few in English, the rest in Mandarin and Japanese which I’m fluent in (along with Korean.)

I currently live in Australia and have been exploring online options to kickstart. Signed up for a bunch of accounts, but I haven't landed anything yet. If anyone has recommendations for good starting resources or leads, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

Hi y'all! I want to try my hand at audiobooks, but I need a bench for my booth so I'm not standing the whole time.

The wrinkle is that I'm 6'4 and 280lbs, and most benches I've found are rated for 250lbs. I'm concerned that even if that holds up it'd still be creaking and making all kinds of noise.

Can anyone recommend a solid chair or bench for 280lbs?

Thank you!

Hey everyone!

I've been a voice actor for over 6 years with experience in commercials and video games. I'm looking for another voice actor to hop on a quick call and give honest feedback on my reels - Specifically to help me narrow them down to one commercial and one character reel. I'm not looking for couching, just a genuine opinion. I've posted before but haven't had much luck - hoping to connect with someone kind and constructive Thank you! :)

Is there anyone in the group who may be in or around Missouri? I would be interested in meeting or maybe just online chatting to get more info about Voice acting as well as editing advice. Please contact me in my dms if possible

Putting together a home-made character demo. Got a few different combinations of characters and voices/energy and effort levels/archetypes, so this is still very early days (no music or fx yet). Just seeing if anyone would care to proffer some feedback in any way, shape or form - types I might be missing, things I could cut (that waterslide is first on the chopping block), or whether a complete rethink might be needed. Thanking you in advance!

After lurking on this subreddit for a year, I've finally started my voiceover journey and so far I'm amazed by projects on CCC, and I got a couple of roles there

However, I know that it's advised not to put fan dubs and other projects like that on your voiceover websites, CV and IMDb pages

I've also read that it's a good idea to use your real name as a voiceover artist for original projects and jobs to gain recognition and seem reliable

So, my question is -

What is the best way to divide and conquer in terms of your name as an artist?

Do you use your real name for original work and a pseudonym for fan projects?

Do you ever in any circumstances "mix" those? How do you get credit for your fan dubs, etc.?

Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!

I handle all the promotions through my work (casino) and I do a lot of announcements over the intercom. They are fun because they aren't just boring announcements. They are often for really big drawings/prizes and I get to really lean into making them exciting and being really flashy and friendly.

At first I was really nervous and just embarrassed (ofc) hearing myself so loudly, but then I started receiving compliments every time I'd do them. People tell me all the time that I have a radio voice, or older women tell me I "sound sexy" lol. My coworkers all tell me I'm the only one who isn't annoying. I even once had someone who worked in TV production and they told me I should 'seriously' consider doing VA work.

So, now I'm looking into it! Not really seeking any advice cause I've just been looking over the stickied guides. Just wanted to share that it seems like an exciting and fun hobby, I'm looking forward to learning more and getting myself a little recording area set up!

Hi folks - I'm a voice actor with home setup but I've been having a noise floor that's too loud - when recording silence it's above -60db (around -54 to -48) and also a mic that's too quiet - around -24 to around -18db . I am just required if I home record to send wav files to a sound engineer - but am aware the raw audio with these levels is less than ideal - I would like to aim for -60db for silence and voice around -10db.

I went to a friend's place who has a home studio to test it to see where in the chain the issue was before changing/ buying new equipment

I use audacity for recording, have an Asus UX5400E Notebook running windows 11. My mic is AT2020. Interface is M Track Solo connecting mic via XLR, phantom power on.

What we found - my M audio interface makes the mic a lot quieter than their scarlett solo - the mic is fine when used with their scarlett solo volume wise - so first step is to buy a new interface - all good

BUT - the other issue is still the noise floor - when we recorded using my mic/ their interface on audacity on both computers (they are using a Mac computer) their noise floor for silence was acceptable - around -60db whereas on my laptop it was still too high.

I can't figure out how to resolve this - I've switched off the windows setting of auto noise reduction to no avail. Input mic volume on audacity is 100 as is mic settings on Windows.

I uninstalled and reinstalled audacity in case that was the issue but same thing - I tried recording with laptop plugged into power and not - no difference

So my conclusion is there's a setting somewhere on my laptop that's causing this as we've ruled out software , mic and interface issues by testing it all on their set up too.

I know noise floor on audacity is higher than on Audition (they normally use Audition) but I'm a bit stumped - I want to make sure I'm sending a raw file to a sound engineer that's acceptable to work with

If we pay the VDC annual subscription fee, then the first earnings we make should not have the 20% fee attached until we recoup the initial cost of the annual subscription. I can't be the first person to have thought of this, right?

Hey everyone, I just need some advice on selecting the right PC to get in order to produce better work. As of right now, I share a computer with my husband who uses it for work and gaming as is. I’m looking to move away from that as well as to downsize the area needed to do my voice over. It’ll be in a closet, so I really don’t/won’t need anything too bulky. Preferably something that is quiet, so most likely fanless to remedy that.

At most, I would rather stay below $1,000 for a setup. That would include monitor, desk, soundproofing, etc.

I’m not well versed in tech, but I’m hoping that with the amount given it’s at least doable. And I’m aware that there isn’t really a “cheap” way to go about equipment if you want to create high quality stuff. Any advice would be greatly appreciated in order to make progress in the right direction. Thank you!

Just wanted to show off some progress in my adventures. I uploaded part 2 to YouTube, but part 1 is on my Instagram.

Hello all! I have been wanting to update my demo reel but wanted to get some feedback before I posted it to YouTube to replace my old one. All feedback is good feedback and very much appreciated!

Hey everyone, I’m new to the VA world and have been making good progress (or what I think is good progress) on my home studio in an interior closet of an upstairs bedroom. Photo attached…here’s what I have so far:

Sound treatment: -Acoustic panels (3 on each wall that you can see in the pic) -Triangular bass traps in all upper and lower corners -Sound dampening blanket on a curtain rod covering the door and back wall

Equipment: -Rode NT1 mic -Apollo Solo audio interface -MacBook Air -Bluetooth keyboard and trackpad -Closed-back Sony monitoring headphones

What I still need: -Some sort of ceiling treatment (open to suggestions…thinking of hanging a sound dampening blanket up there?) -Quiet LED lighting - pretty sure the overhead bulb is creating some background noise

If anyone has other suggestions, especially on how to drown out more background noise, I’d love to hear them. I’m in a decently quiet neighborhood but there’s a highway nearby that creates some noise. (I know from searching through many, many posts on this sub that all of my current sound treatment will only help dampen the noise made inside the booth, and won’t keep outside noise from coming in.)

Hello! I’m looking for a couple comforting voice lines in a character’s voice. I suppose this could be considered me looking for a voice impressionist? If there’s a better subreddit to go to please let me know

I am looking for someone who can do an impression of William Afton’s voice. Not the movie version. https://youtu.be/mPkeQ-k_H-E?si=MAj-PNpGvYHmyIA0 specifically the game version we hear here.

I want to put a few comforting voice lines into a voice box to put into a plush for myself. It might be cringe but hey I’m paying for it lol.

I would like about a minute of different comforting words, praises, etc. Things like ‘youve got this’, ‘I love you’, ‘youre fine’, ‘youre safe’, ‘nothing here is going to hurt you’, etc. I struggle from ptsd so having things like that would help a lot, especially in William’s voice

I’m not entirely sure on what I want all the voice lines to be exactly, so if anyone would like to help me brainstorm or has ideas that would be great lol

I have a starting price of $50, but if that’s too low please let me know. I’m generally not in these spaces, so I’m not sure what the going rates are.

If you’re interested, please send me an example of you attempting the voice! I’ll pick whoever sounds most right to me

So I have been using casting call club a bit and not had much success from it.

I was wondering if there are any similar sites that are good for finding voice work that I can use along side this?

What is the best free and easy audio editing tool other than audacity?

Can you recommend for me an free app to analyze my voice in parameters like authority, confidence, resonance …etc and compare it with another record with different voice parameters?

Can anyone tell me how a person can do a voice for an audio drama? How does that happen? Where do you look for postings? How do you find out if a audio drama is looking for a new actor?

Hello, I've been interested in Voice Acting growing up and I'm wondering what was everyone's first mic/mic that they're currently using? I have a Hyper X DuoCast(i use currently) and a Hyper X QuadCast(used to use) that I used for Streaming, but I'm not sure if these mics are good any good for VA. Also should I use any filters for any recording? Im currently renovating a small closet to use for a booth and have extra foam panels and blankets for the walls. I was thinking of maybe taking some voice/vocal lessons so I know roughly the range of my voice. Is there any advice that anyone wouldn't mind sharing, or how I can start out on my journey of a VA? Thank you!

Hi. I know nothing about dubbing tools. Our teacher asked us to get her a 4 minute cartoon or film and do the dubbing for it.

Is there a tool where i can removes the voices of character and then put my own voice while also keeping the background music/sounds?

Or are there websites where i can videos where the sounds are already stripped away and readied to be dubbed over?

I would really appreciate the help. Btw, I only have an ipad as a device to do all the work.

I got an invite for this on Voice123 and was suspicious about the how to apply part. Thought all communication was through Voice123. I even went to the domain page and it’s just a one pager with a logo, that’s it. No “About Us” or anything. Saw they were part of another company, Voxape, and I checked out their website. It said they specialized in voice over for Brazil and Latin America. The about us on there said they were in Ontario. I also noticed they specialized in AI voice over. I had to decline. Did I do the right thing declining after going through the rabbit hole?

Client was really eager to hire me. I auditioned for all of their roles in a project, which they replied, I could have potentially voiced all of them, but they will choose the one they want. They gave me only 1 role, said "Definitely your first take from your audition!" But then they wanted to meet to "lock in" the voice... I provided a few lines to get started and make sure it's what they wanted, then BOOM - "tbh, I'm not feeling it". So I took some direction, changed it up, "Man, I'm Still not into it..." I asked whether it was the tone or emotion..."I think its just your inherent voice, I think I regret hiring you so quickly"...🤨. Oh well... maybe they just didn't know what they wanted. But to go from potentially multiple roles to NO roles sucks....

Please rate it (i just liked expressing my shit sorry if it's bad i want to know your opinion)

This is my deepest voice. I can maybe go a little deeper but this is my best rn.
