We just had Khary Payton (Cyborg from Teen Titans and King Ezekiel from The Walking Dead), Greg Cipes (Beast Boy from Teen Titans and Michelangelo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and Scott Menville (Robin from Teen Titans) on today’s Teen Titans Takeover Legends Live.

They gave so much impactful advice that I couldn’t stick to just one topic. So here’s 4:

1. Greg talked about the more authentic you are in every day life, the more authentic your characters will be. Don’t overthink it. Just be it.

2. Khary talked about how you should never try to please a director. Be yourself, give it your all and know that if you didn’t get it, it wasn’t meant for you in the first place. A lot has to be aligned for you to get a role that lasts a long time like Teen Titans.

3. Scott talked about how you need to feel like it’s yours when you’re auditioning and you have to be prepared for the unexpected with call backs.

4. Tara Strong talked about taking time before sending your audition tape so you can fully become that character.

I hope these help you with your future auditions. What are your thoughts on these tips?

We had the teen titans va’s on last Saturday’s Teen Titans Takeover and Khary Payton (Cyborg) told a story about how Andrea Romano (VA Director for Teen Titans and Batman: The Animated Series) wouldn’t hire someone based off just 1 good audition. She would wait until she saw 5 good auditions before hiring that actor because she wanted to make sure they were consistent.

That’s a lesson that you just don’t know. You could’ve done a really good job in your audition. It’s not always because it was bad. Never give up because you’re going to hear a lot more rejections and it’s not all within your control.

Asking because I could really use some advice. I’m not practicing every day and I was wondering what some of yall do. Somedays when I work I don’t have the time or energy to get in the booth for a practice session. What are some ways you keep your skills sharp or improve them?

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. Just dm me with your portfolio to have a better look at your work.

Bonjour à tous,

​Je cherche un bon micro pour enregistrer des voix-off destinées à des court-métrages documentaires.

​Mon principal problème : ma pièce n'est pas traitée acoustiquement. J'ai donc peur des réflexions de la pièce, du bruit ambiant et de la réverbération.

​J'hésite sur deux références classiques, mais j'ai des doutes :

​Rode NT1 (statique large membrane) : J'aime bien le rendu et le fait de pouvoir jouer avec l'effet de proximité en parlant très près (< 10 cm), mais j'ai peur qu'il soit beaucoup trop sensible et ramasse toute l'acoustique de la pièce.

​Shure SM7B (dynamique) : Sa directivité et sa faible sensibilité m'isoleraient mieux du bruit ambiant, mais je lui trouve une signature sonore très typée "radio / podcast" (très chargé dans le bas du spectre), ce qui ne me paraît pas toujours naturel ou adapté au format documentaire. Sans compter qu'il demande énormément de gain (je ne sais pas si une carte Audient iD14 MkII suffira !

​Qu'en pensez-vous ? Est-ce qu'un dynamique est vraiment préférable dans mon cas, ou vaut-il mieux partir sur un statique à petite membrane (type micro canon / shotgun d'intérieur comme un Rode NTG3 ou Sennheiser MKE 600) souvent utilisé en voix-off docu ?

​Si vous avez d'autres recommandations dans un budget raisonnable, je suis preneur !

​Merci pour votre aide !

Hello,

Your post looking for a voice for a prehistoric documentary interests me. My demo tape is at www.gloriacorbin.icanvoice.com. Thank you for your consideration.

Cheers,

Hey everyone. I am looking to hire a voice actor for my prehistoric documentary YouTube channel.

Purpose:

The voice-over will be used for documentary-style YouTube videos exploring prehistoric animals, ancient ecosystems, and the world that existed millions of years ago.

Role:

I am looking for someone with a calm, mature, middle-aged-sounding voice who can narrate scripts in a natural, casual, and conversational tone.

The narration should feel relaxed and engaging, as if someone is naturally telling you a fascinating story about the prehistoric world, rather than reading directly from a script. I want the delivery to feel smooth and human, without sounding overly dramatic, robotic, or like a typical exaggerated documentary narrator.

Pay:

Around $30–$40 per script of approximately 2,500 words, depending on the quality of the voice-over.

A.I.:

The voice-over will be used for my YouTube videos. Please let me know your policy regarding AI training and voice usage.

References:

I can provide examples of the narration style I am looking for so you can get a clear idea of the tone and delivery.

Please leave your demo reel or relevant voice-over samples below, and I'll take a listen!

Had a phone convo today with an owner of one of the several several online VO programs/schools/systems, where I found out the price of membership. Whew!! Has anyone started any of these or have any insight?

I'm looking for a young male voice actor to narrate YouTube shorts videos. The videos are educational/entertaining Shorts about interesting facts, science, history, and unusual stories.

What I'm looking for:
Young male voice. English voice (whatever accent). Natural and conversational delivery. Energetic and engaging, but not exaggerated. Able to create curiosity and keep the narration moving. Good audio quality.

Budget: $10 per short
Payment via Paypal

References for what im looking for:

It's important that the voice acting doesn't sound like reading, but rather that it sounds natural and conversational. It's important that you check out the inspiration channels so you get an idea of ​​what I'm talking about.

Length: Usually around 30–45 seconds per Short

You can send me a sample using this text:

"Potatoes used to be illegal in France, and it wasn't until this man made them popular. So, for several years, the French believed potatoes caused diseases and were dangerous to eat, so even when people were starving, nobody wanted to eat them. Until… this French pharmacist named Antoine Parmentier was captured by the Prussians and forced to eat potatoes in prison. And instead of getting sick, he realized they were actually safe and nutritious. So when he returned to France, he came up with a genius plan to convince everyone to eat them. He planted a field of potatoes and put guards around it during the day to make sure no one stole them. People soon assumed something valuable was growing there, so they started to sneak at night and steal the potatoes. And just like that, potatoes started to become popular across France."

Hi all,

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?

Thanks in advance!
