Thank you this is perfectly timed cause my friend got in contact with me recently since they are trying to start up a voice acting/production company 😁

I’ve watched a few voiceover coaches and this is the first one who actually spoke in the way he was fescribing

A question for you: is diaphragmatic breathing required to become successful in voice acting? Out of the people I’ve asked, there seems to be a split where some use the technique and some others don’t

im at 0:02 and i have never been this scared in my life from someone walking towards me lol

Honestly, I feel like half the lesson in this entire video is to hear how you speak about the topics you cover. You elocute yourself damn-near perfectly in the context in which you speak, which sounds authentic, positive and relaxed. In all of those topics, you display each of those characteristics and I love it. Thank you for this video!

I looked up voice acting tips out of curiosity, not expecting to subscribe to anyone but this information has been incredibly helpful. I will certainly be back for more. Thank you. And a quick question: do you ever read comments aloud for practice?

[asthtique]

I find myself in a unique position with a voice audition. I have always had comments on my voice, and Ive been a pretty good mimic since I was a child. I rarely run to research before I attempt things (well at least in the arts) as I usually need to "feel" something before i analyze it, but I am thankful I came across this video. It was truly wonderful and encouraging.

When you ran down the door to the camera i know this video is gonna be freaking awesome XD

Looking up voice acting tips because I’m shy and just started playing DnD via discord call with friends and want to better voice my character. ^^;

Simple reason I want to learn how to voice act is to troll on games

I seriously need an opinion on the voice acting I did for my animation!
I'm completely new at this, and am going to use allot more of it, I need any help I can get!

How can I be authentic with several characters at once that each needs to have their own unique voice?
Making them different from each other while making them interact with each other is rather complex, but, that's the situation I am in 😩

Positivity is easy, I am having fun doing the voices, haven't ever thought on actively smiling during it though!

Dexterity drills sounds useful! I noticed that I had trouble controlling my voice with the more difficult type of voices!

Reading aloud sounds like a great idea! I'll try it!

I’m planning on voice acting my own OC (the character in my profile picture-) and I’ve been able to do voice acting pretty well, but I’m always looking for tips. :)
I haven’t actually published any of my voice acting, but when I’m alone, I like to voice act or do impressions of other characters. XD

Thank you for those wonderful tips. I've been singing, pretty much my whole life. I've always been fascinated with voice acting, even since I was a little boy. I would memorize entire movies just so that I could speak the lines along with the various characters in those films. I don't currently have a good space for recording, but I am in the process of moving to a place where I will be able to have the space needed to get into voice over work. I have a decent computer that can handle a multitude of various creative suites, from Video game development software to music editing software. I just need a decent enough microphone and mic stand. So, needless to say, I will be watching more of your videos, especially when I am ready to start up.

oh yeah i got a question i saw your "How to deepen your voice" video and it worked but it only works when I'm home but whenever i go outside or talk to someone my voice gets soft or not deep anymore is it because I'm scared or something if there's a fix to it I'll gladly appreciate it

The upward inflection we in Australia sometimes do signifies there is more to the story (i.e., there will be another sentence coming) and the last sentence ends normally. The way you demonstrated is actually similar to us.

I just want somebody out there (any Fn one) to tell me what the hell a voice actor actually does??? If I come across as frustrated its because I AM!!!! I googled " what does a voice actor do?" and all I got was a million video's and articles's telling me how to get into voice acting and or make money on voice acting or voice overs - or bla bla one damn thing popped up to answer my questions WHAT DOES A VOICE ACTOR ACTUALLY DO?? CAN ANYONE ANSWER THAT FOR ME??

I'm working on a charles manson character for my D&D campaign and I'm learning voice techniques

My mom is a classically trained actress and did a lot of theater; she always told me that acting is not faking nor pretending to be someone else, that way the acting comes flat and awful in general, she said that acting is about not only understanding the character you are going to play, but also take the characteristics, development, relationships or quirks and make them yours, connect them to your memories, emotions, memories. For example, if you play a vengeful character, thinking of Hamlet for example (she did a lot of Shakespeare), its not enough to imitate the anger that comes from a treason, grab that husk and fill it with your own emotions, how Hamlet feels plotting his revenge, the layers of hate, towards his uncle, sadness and disappointment, towards his mother, the amount of pity and frustration that he feels for himself, the empty hollow that follows a fulfilled vengeance, understand them, but not imitate, connect them to the emotions you feel mirrors the one of the character, maybe adapt them, take from them, maybe you find another layer of feeling, or a new perspective on the events the character goes through, you could even add to them.

Thats why even when the script of Hamlet doesnt change that much, the same events happen in the same order, to the same characters and with the same results, every play can feel so different from the others, thats also why there are characters that you know couldnt be played by another actor, like Iron Man to RDJ, Deadpool to Ryan Reynolds, Chris Pratt to Star lord, Truman to Jim Carrey or Brad Pitt, and by extension Edward Norton, to Tyler Durden, those roles werent played by faking or imitating, they made the characters so theirs that they almost became a synonym of each other, of course these roles were often thought and specially written to be played by those actors, one can easily notice the difference between them and characters written to be played by anyone, sometimes that is reflected by the quality of the writing or the acting itself, and i dont mean that as an insult to the interpretative skills of an actor, a great actor can shine with any character, but there often is a noticeable difference between the two. Thats why a lot of theater courses dont "teach" how to act, but focus instead in the ability of projecting your emotions and learn how to get in touch with them, even if that seems like some weird hippie thing or a scam.

For a long time i really didnt understand, or care, that explanation until i developed an interest in voice acting, if i voice a angry character i use MY anger, i dont try to forcefully match the sadness of a scene, i express it through my own, i dont mold my voice to the character, I adapt it to me. (of course there always will be things you need to adapt yourself to like requests or modifications from the person who hired you or aspects of the character that you need to match, in the case of dub, but I think you get the idea)

Sorry in advance for any spelling or grammar mistakes, not my first lenguage and high as a kite rn, feel free to correct me if you like.
