I've seen a few videos on voice actors "changing their voices" but they dont explain how. It comes off as an inherent anomaly they were born capable of producing. I think a speech pathologist would be the best person to explain specifically how these voice actors are able to change their voices so much. Are these succe…

I am a 17yr old male and I’ve have always loved the idea of acting and always wanted to try it and pursue it as a career. I live in rural/suburban Minnesota so obviously the opportunities are scarce but that’s not the problem. I have never had anyone support me in wanting to be an actor, my family thinks it’s nonsense…

So in about a year I have to record a play with myself and a friend in it. As of now it only involves the two of us, and it's not a professional gig.

My favourite show, Steven Universe recently came to an end, and I realised soon after finishing it that I want to become a voice actor.

I know that most actors are shy and self conscious but I don't want to feel that way when I'm acting. What fascinated me about acting is how actors just become the character even if they are shy in real life. I know practice really helps but what book or technique did you read that really helped in making you less self…

I've been thinking about this for a bit and I'm curious. What form of direction do voice actors prefer? Live direction where you get feedback as you're recording lines, doing lines a few times to ensure they sound alright, or perhaps writing how a line should sound on the script? Or something else?
