[@gingadreamurr6238]

@CRABTREE VO Perhaps I’ll look into that… thanks!

[@todorokisfavouriteobject9109]

My fear of failure is pretty big too, I’m scared that my family will be disappointed for not going for the job that they thought was good for me as I am good at art but I can’t draw buildings (they wanted me to do architecture). I’ve already voiced 2 characters without their knowledge and it’s fun! If the person choosing the cast wants you to say something but you don’t know how then repeat the line in different ways but with long pauses between each one. Using the method did help me in one way but I wasn’t told the age of the character and was only shown a picture of them so I went for a more childish voice and I had to redo it because of the assumption of the character being a teenager

[@juicebox_doodles]

Dude, thank you SO much for making this video. Most people my age (or in general in my life) don't think about wanting to be a voice actor so no one has been able to help me. My parents and teachers keep telling me that I'm smart enough to be a doctor or a lawyer but, those jobs are too serious for me and require even more school and money. I mean, I'm not saying voice acting is cheap, but at least I can have fun with it. I wanted to do voice acting since 1) I can be multiple characters instead of just one and 2) I'm curious to see if anyone will ever connect/love the characters I voice act. My friends are always weirded out when I feel sympathy for a fictional character. (My friends say if they ever read my name in the credits, they'll scream)

[@slowcosmic6176]

[@picklewart5382]

A good way to broaden the voices you can do is to keep trying to do the one you're imagining in your head, outloud, over and over even if it sounds like crap and not like what you want at all. Because the more you do it the more adjustments you make and the end result is the voice you wanted or something close. I did a Mexican accent from the 3rd grade and up for years. Sounded retarded until highschool when it finally was on point to a T. Not all voices have to take years, but the take away is just simply experiment with your vocal cords.

[@MarioTheLiopleurodon]

"you'll have to work for free" I'm down with that. I just wanna pretend to be a character, say stuff into a mic, and have my voice put into something. I want to voice act for the fun of acting. Like if I could voice act for Halo I would, even if it's for free. Just the thought of shooting a marine or ODST or a brute and have my voice come out of them is enough for me. I used to make crappy films in high school with my friends which were supposed to be as poorly acted as possible and it was really fun putting something together to be watched. The laughs were always welcome. And if a blue snowball or blue yeti can be bought for cheap, then I'll start auditioning basic stuff right away

There is absolutely a demand for your tips and tricks. Definitely going to re-watch a few times and take notes. Thanks so much for doing this video. I'm one of those kinds of people who want's to do this, but doesn't know how to start. I tend to learn well from hearing other people's experiences and I feel like I learned a lot! Please continue these kinds of videos every now and then!

Me and my Sister watched this and she now wants to be a voice actor so...❤️

[@ShuggrRiku]

This video is what led me to start using CCC two years ago and I can't thank you enough! Although i'm primarily only doing song covers for now, I've met so many wonderful people through the projects I work on! To all the other people starting their journey on CCC and online projects, good luck! You can do it!

[@jeremycoleman2736]

Heck yeah! Brizzy Voices, Grey Griffin, and Tara Strong are three of the greatest voice actors of all time! No doubt about it.

[@brizzyvoices]

[@Magicalwolfgamer]

Brizzy Voices hi , I am interested in becoming a voice actor. Thanks for uploading this. It’s really helpful:) .

[@mochiteacutie]

I don't mean to hate and I don't mean this in any insulting way it's just she sounds the same in all her impressions and voice acting. That's not to say that yeah she's good she really gives the emotions and all just she sounds the same I hear no difference.

[@chungleandthebims167]

You don't have to sound different to be a voice actor. Although that is cool, there are a handful of voice actors who use their default voice for many characters, and you've probably noticed them, too. Cree Summer for example (Numbah 5) has such a gritty voice that she's used in Voltron Legendary Defenders and a handful of other roles. VO casters hire you for your voice and whether or not you fit the role they're looking for. *Then* they'll worry about impressions and pitch if they see you're close enough to their ideal@@mochiteacutie Edit - Wow she literally even touches on this within the first minute of the video which means you probably didn't pay attention

My younger sister, Sammi, really wants to get into voice acting. This video will be very helpful for her. She is 14, but she has a good range of voices, including accents. I really want to help her. So I am creating a few different webseries, original and fanmade, that she will be able to do a bunch of different voices in. Brizzy, do you have anything else advice wise that we should know? Or is pretty anything that you could say, in this video?

[@FairyPrincess]

[@mafu7075]

I'm 13, almost 14 (in about a month), and today I gained an interest in voice acting. Actually, I've always had a slight interest in VA for a while, I just never decided to start anything. But I want to stop holding back. I'm very awkward and shy, but currently voice acting is my number one career choice. I know it'll be difficult, but I want to see how far this dream can take me. This is the first time I've ever seriously wanted to do something and for that I'll try my very best

ah i'm starting to TRY and do a short series and this helped me!!! Now I'm more inspired to do this thing!

[@brizzyvoices]

DO! THE! THING!!

[@OmnipotentSaiyan]

I’m shy and have social anxiety and was told I had an amazing voice on streams. I use to voice act with toys as a kid and loved making a villain voice. As a kid I realized villains do bad stuff, because bad stuff happened to them and it was left unchecked, so they cope with bad things done to the world. Now as an adult I use my depression as an act to sound evil, and it works! I made myself cry by acting like a villain sometimes.

[@ethanhowe103]

I started pursuing voice over a few years ago, and I''m glad you're doing a video like this because there wasn't much info when I started out. Through sheer luck, I met Crispin Freeman and he told me about his Voice Acting Mastery podcast which is how I got started. I recorded my demo in Santa Monica December of 2018, and got signed to MAM talent agency in Seattle the following April. Unfortunately, it hasn't led to me getting many opportunities. I can count on one hand the number of VO auditions they've given me in a year. So no major games or animations yet, but I'm still plugging away at it because it's what I love doing.

I’m striving to become an animator but also a voice actor too. I enjoy cartoons so much to the point where I’d try to sound like those characters from the shows I watch, and I will say, I think I do a pretty good Warner Sibling’s impression.
