Four Ways To Work For Voice Over Actor For Hire

By Karen Barnes


The art of using your voice as a tool to tell stories and to emote is as old as the art of storytelling itself. It is because one never forgets a voice that has imprinted into their minds and their hearts. Therefore, one of the most sought-after professions amongst artists is that of a voice over actor for hire job. It is not only a great way of making a good income, but it also a passionate driven one. We have decided to list four ways in which you can find a gig.

Mel Blanc. This amazing comedic actor has landed to some of your favourite characters of all time. His most iconic character is Buggs Bunny and it is where he is most recognized. He did also Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Rubble Dino from the Flintstones and Taz from the Looney Tunes. He transformed the way in which acting was viewed and paved his own path into becoming one of the greats. His technique is seamless as much as it is effortless.

This is an imperative skill to have, you never want your speech sounding louder in some parts while in other parts your speech sounding softer. This means finding consistency in volume, energy, pacing, enunciation and articulation. This is about knowing your own voice, knowing when to stress it and when to draw it back without affecting the consistency of your range. Cleanliness refers to your mouth being clean in the sense that you can eliminate as much mouth noise as possible. If you are wondering what mouth noise is then it s all the involuntary sounds that come out for your mouth when you are speaking. Things such as unwarranted gasps, stops, and clicks. If you would like to minimise these sounds you should constantly stay hydrated by drinking waters, teas and snacking on snacks. Chewing gum is another way of getting your mouth clean, as well as keeping it fit as you are exercising the jaw muscles.

Morgan Freeman probably as the most distinctive and most easily recognizable voices of all time. With many people agreeing that his voice is probably what the voice of God sounds like. Some critics describe it as emotive, pure and inspirational. Based on polls of which actor you would like to narrate your life story a staggering number of Facebook users voted for Mr Morgan Freeman.

A great way of finding some gigs is using bartering. Basically, using your skills in order to get something that you want. This method works especially if you don t yet have any experience and are looking to get your voice out there. You can offer your local businesses free voice overs to promote yourself and add the experience to your portfolio. Once you start to develop relationships with local businesses as well as build a reputation for yourself it becomes a lot easier to start getting more jobs.

If there were ever a necessary skill in this particular job, it would be control. This means always being in sync with your voice and the sounds it is producing. Your control will allow you to be deliberate in your performance. You will have to learn how to control your pitch, your volume and even the consistency of your breathing.

James Earl and Morgan Freeman could probably have a battle to see who has the most recognizable one. His career spans over 60 years in both film, television, and motion pictures. He is a household name and a legend in his own right. One of his most unforgettable and probably most iconic character has to be that of Darth Vader. His eloquent and free-flowing and rhythm make it hard to believe that he was once a stutterer in his younger years.

Voice acting is one of those gigs that require an insane amount of skill and precision. And since it is highly competitive you need to find your niche and then upskill yourself.
