Male voice actor looking for demo scripts.
Hi. I’m a pretty new voice actor and I’m trying to find some scripts that I can use for a demo, but all the ones on voices.com don’t really fit my style. I’m a young adult male with a pretty deep voice, and if anyone who sees this knows of any scripts that they could send me, that would be awesome.

Is talent part of acting?
Can a great actor be someone who studied a totally unrelated field, maybe took a couple of drama classes, but can naturally portray emotions very well (high EQ for example) and knows when to use which kind of tonality?
