To all the 12 year olds out there, No you are not too young to voice act. Voice acting and Acting are the EXACT same thing. If you can act you can voice act. It's simple. You start acting at any age. Same goes for voice acting.

CDawg, I would just like to apologise for taking up your time, but... I've followed your every word up until this point though, my problem runs on the fact that I'm quite shy... I really want to do voice acting however I'm nervous about the society, process and like. Would you mind sharing your first few experiences about voice acting behind the scenes or anything that could help me adapt...? Thanks. (^^)
@CDawgVA8 жыл бұрын
You haven't wasted my time! Okay I was quite shy when I began, but you have to remember no one is good when they start and you have to be ready to put yourself out there, record yourself doing anime voices try and find ones you can mimic so well and practice practice and practice! Then audition and see how it goes!

NGL, I know it's not your current style of content but I think most of us would love an updated version of this. For a lot of us you're the only reason we even know that it's possible for someone, who isn't a big name actor or a large personality, to be a voice actor. I was going through my saved videos and saw this and realized that a lot of these sites are shut down or there are better avenues to take now. Obviously though it's from 7 years ago. Just shouting into the void here as a fan but I thought if you're bored or don't have any ideas that I, personally, would love to know how you feel now, especially since you made the video about voicing in She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man.

It really warms my heart when you suggested the Samson C01U as the beginner mic first, I never saw this video nor did I look for tutorials when I started out & when I bought the Samson I was very impressed with the quality & how friendly the price of it was. I remember the good old days (back in 2014) when I was tarting out & I had no clue so my audio was terrible lol but you do improve with daily practice rather quickly. I love this video because you emphasize more on creating the enjoyment than trying so hard to make it super professional which is good because so many tutorials & guides now emphasize too much on being 'professional' & not enough on the 'enjoyment' of it all. Love your work & great video.

(Get ready for a story. I'm trying to be as brief as possible.) I've started voice acting about a year ago, but so far it's only been Hamilton and Undertale comic dubs. And I'm working on this webcomic too that I dub on my channel as well. The thing is I made this with my friends. Sure, they made some of the characters but they also helped writing out a lot of the scenes as well. So I like to think that we made this together. So when it came to voice acting, they greatly accepted to do some voices too despite the fact that they've never done this before. But they've been practicing for a few months now and I think they'll be just fine. We're all still beginners and as the "boss", I want to give them everything that they need. Tips, tutorials, Discord chat rehearsals, and even buy equipment for them. They insisted that I wouldn't need to but I should because one is borrowing their brother's headset while the other one is using the mic on their headphones plugged into their phone. XD So yeah. I'm sharing this video with them and hopefully we'll sort things out. Lol.

i have a question, like my native language is not english but do these sites still count or do i need to find other ones. i can speak english decent but i think it will be better if i do it in my own language, so my question is just do these sites support other languages?

I just wanna say that you're an awesome person. I just recently found your channel, and I'm a huge fan of Black Butler. Thanks so much for so many amazing videos - especially for this video! You've inspired me to give voice acting a shot. Thank you very much! I hope I can become a good voice actor, as well.

Hey, I've been watching you for a while now and just wanted to say I love it, and you've re-ignited my passion to act and perform...so I've channeled that passion into VA. I put myself out there on the webites you have mentioned and I got hired recently for a podcast!! I just want to say thank you for doing what you do! Without it, I wouldn't have been inspired to do VA. THANK YOU!!!

I wanted to sincerely say thank you. I have been interested in getting into voice acting for awhile, but didn't really know how. Your video did a great job of explaining it and now I am auditioning for a part. Again I really appreciate you doing this video for people like me. You're pretty awesome and thank you for your hard work.

What are you auditioning for and where I'll try and give you some pointers
@byob19999 жыл бұрын
+CDawgVA Oh I am auditioning for a part off of the Call Casting Club website you suggested and someone is doing an original series. The character I am trying out for is a, "very quiet and montone person, he has trouble expressing emtoions so he can come off as a jerk. This also makes him seem insincere. Sometimes he tries to act kind but on other occasions he just can't handle some of his friends' behavior." Also singing is another element that's desired by the poster, so I have a recording of I Write Sins Not Tragedies to go along with it. I could add a link to the page if that would make it any easier for you.

+CDawgVA Oh, really? That's awesome. They are a pretty good band. The, 'A Fever You Can't Sweat Out' album is one of the few albums where I can listen to every song on it and I know almost all the words to each song. What other bands or kind of music are you into? If you don't mind the question.

+CDawgVA Also a quick question whenever you get a chance. Should I only apply to one thing at a time? That way I don't run my time thin and make promises I can't keep.

Hey there! I've been voice acting just over a year and a half. I stumbled across this video and would just like to say I enjoyed it =) as you mentioned I didn't learn from it, but it is refreshing to see an accessible guide for the beginners. I didn't find anything like this when I started and I hope this helps this wonderful community grow! have a nice day, sir!

Just wanna say that the FB group he mentioned is still a great group to go to. I am in it and its a very positive environment. Lots of encouragement and projects open for all levels of skill. Another great way to get in VA work is Twitter, it's where I got my very first role in a current ongoing project! Just put yourself out there! Dont worry about a Demo right away, worry about getting your lines down in a way that makes YOU proud. And always ask your head of project for their advice on your part, be ready to do re-dos, and learn to cut/edit your own work before sending it in esp if its a job you arent being paid for. AND NEVER PUSH YOURSELF TO GO OUTSIDE OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE WHEN IT COMES TO CONTENT. If you arent okay with voicing nsfw work then DONT, but make sure you make it CLEAR to whoever you audition for of this. It saves time. Dont let anyone try to guilt you into working with content you arent okay with. There are ALWAYS more roles, and a good director will respect your standards.

I've heard from a Voice Actor (Quinton Flynn) that if you read the script (Especially your own lines) you can come up with a voice, for said character you are auditioning for, just by their speech and personalities.

YES THANK YOU DEAR GODDDDDDDDD.. goodness... ahem..
