Be Heard

Having the right microphone and knowing how to use it are critical. As a Voice Actor, you are the product and you want to make sure you sound your best.

In choosing a microphone, you are investing in an instrument itself. It has to be able to hear whispers and screaming. Also, knowing when to lean into the pop filter, and when you want to move away from the microphone assure the best recording.

You will also need a space to record. A walk-in closet full of clothes or a small room with moving blankets or acoustic foam on the walls works well. Of course, a VO booth is ideal. In all cases you shouldn’t hear noises from outside or the air conditioner inside.

Get Lit

Voice Actors have worked remotely for years - interacting with directors, hiring agents and groups in Zoom meetings. It’s important that you have a high-quality web camera, ring light and 'home set'.

While your device may have a camera, a dedicated web camera has the best image. Lighting yourself is key to looking your best. A ring light is easy to place around your camera, provides even, color-corrected light, and minimizes shadows.

Your recording space makes a great broadcast location. Do be aware of your environment, however. Keep the space socially neutral - you never know the beliefs of viewers. Oh, and, pants are still optional.

Sell Yourself

Tablets, laptops and computers have immense power. With the right software, it’s easy to record yourself with studio-level quality. You are also afforded the capabilities for powerful post-production.

The more you know of the capabilities and limitations of your software, the more you are assured of getting a quality recording. In the wrong hands even the most expensive microphone can sound terrible.

Once you have a digital file, the work begins. Your editing skills further enhance your voice and professional image. And, demo clips are the best calling cards for both prospective clients and selling yourself to and being signed by an agent.
