I tried not to ask in a repetitive way, I didnt see anything about microphones at the pinned information

I thought this would be the best place to ask for advice, so thanks in advance.
I made a comic that popped off on social media a bit recently, and I’ve had two accounts ask if they could dub the comic. I already agreed to the first one, but then someone else messaged me asking to dub it as well. What do I do? Is it rude to say both can? If so do I let the first person know? I just don’t know the culture here I guess. I think it would be cool if they both could tbh.

I'm just looking to get my foot in the door and don't need pay. Many posts on here require a portfolio so I just want to help people out as a start for myself. I see the PAID Work section, but is there another place that people post? Just looking for a bit of assistance navigating here, please and thank you!

Do you we are safe as voice actors?

I recently joined this industry and what I can see is some employers who are paying way below industry standards and worst case is these voices are used to train AI.

Made with the help of my awesome voice coach! This is something I never expected to do but I'm glad I did!

I was on Gooogle and tried to find the best EQ settings for Audacity to have high quality sound

So i went to reddit to help me. So Guys can you send images of most best EQ Settings you have

I have been researching a lot about Voice acting online which lead me to Mike Hathcote and his program The Voiceover Blueprint. The program claims to be the largest voiceover training program in the world but I’ve been having trouble finding reviews or testimonials about it anywhere besides their website. If anyone has tried the program or has anymore information on the quality of it then I would greatly appreciate it. Also the price is around $2700 for a full year but since I’m somewhat new I’m genuinely not sure if that’s expensive or cheap for this kind of training. Thank you for reading and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone. I am looking to hire a voice artist for my prehistoric documentary YouTube channel. The voice should be young to mid age male. Budget can be decided in the dm, but it's around $40-$50/video. Just dm me with your portfolio to have a better look at your work.

Hello!
I am looking to try to copy the growl noise made in this short video
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JUYMC9revJE
I was wondering if anyone could give me any resources or advice to help me with this goal.

Thank you :)
P.S. Apologies if this is the wrong subreddit for this request

I also recorded under a blanket to block out sound

Hey,

I’d really appreciate honest feedback on my demo. It includes a light, friendly advert read plus audiobook and documentary narration.

I'd love to know: what words would you use to describe my voice, what age do you hear, and which categories do you think I'm best suited to?

Demo here

Thanks!

Note to mods: I did already post but got no comments so reposting, hope that’s okay!

A question for any “blanket booth” users. I got this booth a while back to help with sound isolation since I live in an apartment. Love this setup and collapsable booth… except for one thing.

-cue dramatic stinger-

It gets so Damned Hot! 🥵
Any advice of how best to keep cool with these? So far, just using a fan with remote between a set of takes. This is not so bad in the winter but summer… oooo boy that sucked.

We miss Smiling Friends…so we’re making our OWN FAN EPISODE‼️

Casting call for Voice Actors who can replicate the Smiling Friends characters!

The full script is about 15 pages in English, split amongst the characters;

Charlie will be paid $50, Pim, Mr. Boss, and Allan will be paid $30, and Glep $10 (he has one line!) Voice Actors will be paid after their work is done!

If you want to audition for multiple roles, you can! You’ll provide a Self-Tape in the Application form (QR code) and if the producer thinks you can do multiple voices well, you’ll be paid the combined rates!

If you’re interested, please fill out the Application in the QR code for more info!

I learned today from a YouTube video that people are so angry with AI voices that breath sounds are not a bad thing because they make you sound human.

So maybe, don’t worry about the occasional breath.

Hey, I'm a 14y old so my options are already limited because of my age. I have no experience and not enough money to afford a teacher or lessons. I don't believe spamming requests under every project would work as most of the projects have 20+ people already signing up for it. Should I keep looking for a project that has almost no one signed up for it? I don't see why, from the project owner's perspective, they'd hire a person with no experience and very little skill in voice acting. Though I'd say my mic quality is at least decent or good quality. Am I overthinking this to much or do you guys have a method for choosing which projects to join?

I've got this question on my mind ever since I started doing voice acting but I wanna ask y'all first before I can say that what I'm thinking is right, what made y'all start voicing in the first place? I mean yeah we got amazing voices(compliments to y'all) but asides the voice and the money, what else made y'all do voice acting?

P.S

I'm new to this and I'm in a trio VA group with two amazingly gifted peeps in which we just started a few days ago

Hey everyone, I'm an amateur doing this just for fun — no plans to publish or go pro. I mainly want to share recordings with my tabletop roleplay group, so I'm just after a clean, consistent setup.
My setup:
Mic: Røde NT1 Signature
Interface: Focusrite Scarlett Solo

A few specific things I'm wrestling with:
Plosives/pops — I keep getting those harsh "p" and "b" bursts. How do I tame them?

Mic distance — how far should I be from the mic? I can't seem to land on a consistent spot.
Mic position relative to my mouth — should the mic be dead-center in front, off to the side, above and angled down? Not sure where to place it.
Where to direct my voice — should I speak straight into the mic, or just past it?

Hi folks who have studio bricks!

We just purchased a home and are ready to finally make the leap from my own retrofitted rental set up to something I can live in with longevity. I'm leaning toward the One XXL VO edition, because the space seems luxurious, and in for a penny, in for a pound, but she is HEAVY (1500lbs!) Our foundation inspection told us that it's in really great shape-- but I didn't think to ask about this while they were there. Curious if anyone here has one of these and if they hired a structural engineer to assess the situation before purchasing? We'll be putting it on the first floor and then eventually moving it to an ADU in the back once we have some money to invest in building one, so no concerns with a second floor, but I'm curious if this a step I shouldn't skip to keep my house happy.

Thanks for any advice or relevant experience! :)

Has anyone taken Voice acting 101 with Jamil Burger and Joe Goffeney
from Closing Credits/ Casting Call? I've been researching voice acting classes and they seem to be the best match for what I'm looking for. Decent value and they provided feedback on your voice. A lot of voice acting classes are expensive and I'm scared to make such a big investment on something I might not be good at. One thing I’d like to know is how big are the class sizes? If it’s too big, I feel like I won’t get enough feedback or if you took the class was the size no issue? Also if anyone has good suggestions for voice acting classes that are similar but you think might be better I’d love to hear them.

The dream is of course to do games and animation. I’m not opposed to other work like audiobook and commercial, but I do have a steady and salaried 9-5 career and am willing to be a little more selective than someone for whom VO work needs to be their entire income.

Thoughts on the demo? Thoughts on agency representation? Do I just strike out on my own on CCC, Voices, and V123?

Hello, 

I created a short Halloween video that I need voice acted.

I’m looking for a young sounding female American English-speaking voice artist to play the ghost of a young girl. 

This is not a spooky Halloween video but a rather cozy one about a ghost girl. She is excited about seeing all her friends and family on Halloween. 

The script is approximately 80 words. 

Please DM me if interested

Voice preference: American English accent

Language: English

Approx. length: 80 spoken words

Usage: A short animation published on YouTube and TikTok

Pay: $25 USD flat rate

Payment: Payment will be made upon delivery and approval of the recording.

Hello guys. I'm 22, college student with not a lot of money to spare on insanely good audio setups but I'm very interested in starting a career as a VA. Any recommendations for some decent budget microphones? If you also have tips in general about literally anything, from how to get started, to how to process audio, etc, I'd gladly receive it.

Not a voice actor, but hoping this community might know resources. I am a small adult - about the size of an average 12 year old. I have a fairly high pitched voice, not super quiet, but possibly combined with being child-size (and a woman), I am often not heard in groups/ noisy environments and can't really speak louder. I also would like to train to speak lower, to sound like an adult.

I'm familiar with the concept of projection and resonance. What are some good resources for exercises to help with these? Ideally an app where I can progress through exercises and make a habit of actually doing them.

I feel like Tajja Isen only became popular in the 2000s to mid 2010s in voice acting. Mostly on the two characters I remember: Princess Presto from Super Why & Nessa the pink giraffe from My Big Big Friend. Most of her voice acting credits are from the 2000s to 2010s. I don't know if she has credits in the 2020s apart from maybe the My Big Big Friend Movie dub cause I know the animation & the origin of the show is from Brazil. I think the dub is from Canada. The reason I'm saying this is because Jacob Tremblay is now an adult. Back when Tajja Isen was still a teenager, he was just a cute little kid. When he grew up during his teen years he played lots of characters: Luca Paguro, Elmer Elevator, Flounder (unfortunately), Orion / Robin(Harley Quinn), & now Curtis Mehlburg. I think Tajja is now in her 30's & Jacob currently 20. I think Tajja finished her arc last decade while Jacob already started his.
