Need advice from voice actors, would this be a feasible way of recording for you? by Musc3 • last post Dec 10th
I'm creating an independent animated series as a hobby and expect it to take a loooong time to make. Because the episodes will probably take *at least* a month each to crank out and there are several reoccuring characters, I highly doubt that I would be able to hire voice actors as I'm animating. By the time I finish episode two, who knows, months may pass and there's no way I'd be able to hold down people for that kind of loose commitment. Understanding that most of the time voice acting is recorded before animation, the only solution I have to this right now is either: A. Use a couple of my friends and my own voice and use that as a blueprint for animation. Then later on down the line, hire professional animators to sync/record over our own voices so that they match up with the animation. B. Essentially go the "anime dub" route and just allow the voice actors to try and sync up straight to the animation without any voices to record over (which I heard can be difficult for them and constrain emotional expression) Or C. I write the script from the first episode to the last episode, then hire the voice actors and have them voice it all (not in one sitting of course), and then animate it. My only worry with this is that if I want to go back and change something later down the road, I might not have the same actors anymore. If it's doable, which one would be better?
Any voice actors with advice for someone who wants to break into it? by TheaterNerd • last post Dec 9th

Voice Acting Questions: Advice from Professionals for the Novices by VOaj • last post Dec 3rd
I'm looking for people who have spent at least a year working or attempting to work as a voice actor/actress. I have my own thoughts on these questions, but I'd really like to know what the greater community thinks. I am looking for responses from legitimate, experienced actors/actresses to answer this thread. This information is not just myself, but for all future novice voice actors/actresses. 1. What are the problems with voice acting that aren't commonly brought up or discussed? 2. Have you been taken advantage of by certain websites, producers, directors, or other types of businesses that should be avoided by those just starting out in voice acting? 3. Is there enough work out there for those who of us that are willing to work for it, in the field of voice acting? 4. What voice actors/actresses should a novice be keeping their eyes on for inspiration? Who are the best role models in the field? 5. Is there a minimum equipment set that should be considered for beginners, especially those of us on a tight budget? 6. What is the best way to find work and make a name for yourself in voice acting? 7. What are your best tips and tricks to make the journey from novice to professional more efficient?

Looking to hire voice actor for short corporate video - PAID by hiringinsf • last post Nov 30th
Hey there, looking to hire a voice actor who can do work for a corporate video. We're a startup looking to add a voice over to an animated video about our product. We're looking primarily for female voices, late 20s to late 30s sounding. This is remote work, so you must be able to record yourself. Please consider that when sending rates. The video will span roughly 1:30 seconds in length total. Time frame for this project is by end of next week (December 7). If you have a portfolio or samples of previous voice work, send it! If you have questions, feel free to message me. Thanks!

I'm unsure as to when the holiday season/vacation for productions start. I wanted to renew my AA subscription, but wasn't sure if it was pointless to do so now, if we are around the time where work is slow. Does it start to slow down starting from Thanksgiving? Week before...

I'm wanting to bring together a group of creative and talented people. by posidonking • last post Nov 25th
Hello! I apologize if this isn't the place for a post like this, I'm not sure where else to post it. I'm an audio editor for several podcasts and have been audio editing for about 2 years now, and I've always wanted to start a volunteer group of voice actors, writers, music, and artists. I've always wanted to make a podcast of some kind, I've got the technical know how, but absolutely nothing when it comes to writing, acting, music or art. So I'm wanting to start a group of talented people for all parts of the creative process, where we can throw ideas at each other and see what we can come up with as a group. DM or comment if interested :) Edit: I forgot to mention that this is volunteer. I'm not saying that being paid is off the table, but I don't get paid for anything, so I can't pay anyone. The idea, is that everyone get to have a part, and the project is everyone's. I apologize if this turns some people away, but I hope some people are interested, and we can get to a point where we can all earn money from it. Edit: I'm making a subreddit which everyone can come to when it's done, it's called r/AudioFableProductions. I've never really made a subreddit, so if you see anything odd, I'm still trying to fix it up
