What is voice-over?

Voiceover is the art of providing a voice for a script or other text, typically for radio, television, or film. It can be a very rewarding experience, both creatively and financially.

There are many different types of voice-over work, from commercial and corporate work to e-learning and animation. Whatever the project, the key is to ensure that your voice is well suited to it.

When choosing a voice-over artist, consider their tone, range, and style. You want someone who can bring the text to life and make it engaging for the listener.

The best way to get started in voice-over is to record a professional demo reel. This will showcase your talent and help you land jobs. If you're new to the industry, you may also want to consider taking some acting classes to help you hone your craft.

How did I get into voice-over?

I've been asked a lot lately how I got into voice-over. It all started with a love for reading and singing. Though I don’t have any experience performing in plays or such, I had always dreamt of being a voice-over artist in the future.

I did some research and found that there are many different types of voice-over work and landed one for YouTube videos. I don’t know what got into me. I just knew that I wanted to give it a try.

So, I downloaded an app necessary for voice-over and recorded my first demo reel. Then, I started submitting my demos online. After a few weeks of hard work, I landed my first job!

Since then, I've had the opportunity to do some really fun and interesting projects. Voice-over has allowed me to use my creativity and imagination, and it's been a great way to make a living.

What was my first-ever voice-over gig like?

When I started in the world of voice acting, I had no idea what to expect. My first gig was for a YouTube channel. I was so nervous sending in my sample voice-over reels and did not expect I will be selected. It was a great experience overall, but it wasn't easy.

I've come a long way since then, but I'll always remember my first gig. It was a great learning experience and it set the tone for my career in voice acting.
