[@twinkiemonster4412]

KZbin PEOPLE, COME OVER TO TWITCH A BUT MORE! We got polls you can vote in, Moylee has Mayo, we all question the logic of some games, AND REMUS IS THERE!

[@brizzyvoices]

HECK YEAH!!!!

[@Caitluz]

I'm currently in my last year of high school and I really want to eventually become a voice actor! Excited to watch this for some tips ^w^

[@brizzyvoices]

WEEEE! You figured it out earlier than I did!!

[@jediwolfgirl]

Currently in college and I’ve been wanting to be a VA since high school as well! Along with college I’m researching as much as I can about the industry and about getting into it as well. Good luck CaitoThePotato!

[@rook.e36]

I’m in my first year of high

[@isaiahwalking]

Same

[@Caitluz]

Update: now in my last year of Sixth Form and applying to do acting in uni 💪 The one closest to me doesn't do voice acting specifically, but they do do ebooks and such so at least its something on top of obviously screen acting lol

[@jediknight2089]

I watched this Q&A live and it was phenomenal. It was seriously cool seeing you take the time to answer so many questions in which you answered with incredibly honesty and sincerity. The valuable insight you gave was vastly informative, covering topics like getting an agent, what recording equipment to use, the importance of doing non union work before becoming professional, your personal experiences, etc. You really are an extraordinary treasure trove of knowledge, wisdom and experience. You’re going to inspire many upcoming VO actors to keep chasing the dream, definitely keep doing more Q&A’s! Thanks again for another giving us another classic brizzy voices video. And most importantly, thank you Anna for always being unbelievably awesome.

[@XavierVA24]

Even though I've given up on voice acting, I'll always love the earnest advice Brizzy gives.

[@brizzyvoices]

You never know, one day it may find its way back into your lap. :) It's never too late. So of course by all means take an indefinite break to focus on other things!

[@Swordtee40]

This is some helpful advice to hone everyone’s skills! I remember watching a video from you on How To Become a Voice Actor back in 2019, and now in 2022, I feel more comfortable as a voice actor myself. I feel like I have been making quite a lot of progress with booking some gigs, even with the demo I got! There’s still a lot I feel like I need to learn however, but that’s kind of like watching the first season of a series, and understanding the series or getting comfortable with the series as soon as you watch the 2nd season or the season finale of it.

[@brizzyvoices]

that's wonderful!!

[@DeeTomm]

Not only do I love drawing and animating, but I also love voice acting just like you do. 😁

[@brizzyvoices]

GOSH I wish I could animate / WANTED to take the time to animate so I could animate my own voice ahahaha

[@DeeTomm]

@@brizzyvoices I think I made an old "animation" of Hermione watching that "Fresh Avacado" vine, and then unnecessarily correcting the spelling, in which I used that audio clip of you saying "It's Avacado, not Avacado" in Hermione's voice! So I hope that is decent enough, it's a 1-year-old video.

[@edwardhulse]

Loving the new colourful background Brizzy! Also the Voice Actor Q+A session on Twitch was really good and very informative especially since I’m still looking for a job in the Radio and Television industry, I’m so glad I tuned in for it because I felt like it actually helped me think about how I could improve my presentation skills and how I could be more confident from working behind the mic! I’d love to see you do some more stuff like this in the future, it’s great! Keep up the amazing content! 😊👍🏻

[@snippyhera]

My life's dream is to be a VA, thanks for continuing to inspire and motivate me dear Brizzy

[@ericcg3986]

Thank you for the advice! As a 23 yr old who thought his acting career ended in high school, I am excited to try and see if voice acting is something I can pursue!

[@kylelesh5456]

I so appreciate your work to teach people how to do something you had to learn to get into a career you love. Giving others an opportunity to navigate something like this is really special.

[@Ellyonmars]

Hey Brizzy! I just wanted to say thank you for being a huge inspiration to me :) I’m taking small steps to get Into voice acting and I just recently got Into a school where rather than gym and stuff we learn about audio! I’ve actually met some people in the industry too and within the next year I’m hoping to get a little studio type thing going In my closet :D thanks for being you and putting your experiences on here for aspiring VAs like me to watch :)

[@yassvaritaass]

Brizzy, thank you so much for this video. I’ve been watching your channel for almost eight years now, and you’re one of my biggest inspiration for pursuing my own voice acting career! Much love ❤️

I decided not to go to college so I can try to focus on getting started with voice acting classes and not have to pay tuition alongside equipment and classes but there’s always a ton of anxiety and regret mixed in. Your videos have been very helpful with me for figuring out places to start and I’m definitely going to come back to these once my depression is not in the driver’s seat ^^ thank you for being you Brizzy!

[@danielgordon84]

Thankfully the first part of your advice (breathe correctly, since I'm a trumpet player) and the coffee part (I don't drink coffee because I don't like the taste) I've already got. My coach and I are hopeful that I'll be able to get, like, a preliminary demo by the end of the school year (I'm a teacher, not a student, I wanna be tactical about having a good financial basis before diving in), and then my journey can take the next step!

[@loganraposo91]

Honestly thank you for this! You were one of my inspirations to get into voiceover work? I did have one question to ask, do you have any tips on increasing your vocal range and your character voice repertoire? And again thank you for making this video and others dude 💜

I Love Voice Actor

[@glennmorganfan9411]

I have SO many questions!!! My first issue would be REPAIRING my voice. I'm 40, I've accidentally lightened and damaged my voice from years of using it wrong. I worked for 3+1/2 years in a Haunted House company. I screamed and roared, but did it WRONG. I didn't support my breath from my abdomen, but from my THROAT. Also I have a dry cough from some medicine I take. I've been coughing pretty much daily for about three years now. I am super nervous and would be scared/nervous to do stuff like that. (I'm working on that through my reenactment group) ....and now my living conditions are such that I WILL get interrupted if I tried to do anything.

[@fennelfin]

I really want to be cast in a certain tv show for a book I like, but I've never done voice acting professionally. What can I do?

[@MazterP28]

I’m told I have a good voice where is their places I can apply for someone new into the field?

[@cythermax]

Would you recommend using your real name for things like voice123 or voices? Or would you be okay using things like your voice name Brizzy? Also dumb question, but I do big cosplays and thought it may be interesting for people to see a cosplayer who voice acts as well, so I thought of using one of my big cosplays as a profile pic for the sites to show off part of a hobby that shows creativity and such off the bat. But is a professional picture just better in general?

[@brennanwn]

I can’t wait

[@imfiy_]

I'm 14 but I really want to be a voice actor. Its been a year, and I still be me, didn't become one yet... How can I find a voiceover coach? I rlly wanna be one🥺🤧

[@imfiy_]

Can a kid be a voice actor too?

[@eiden_]

Idk what the labor laws in your area is but 14 may be too young to get hired unless your parents / guardians are working with an agency for child talent. I suggest spending time learning and practicing and perhaps finding a fan project / animators your age to hone your skills and practice working with other students. I knew I wanted to make games since I was a teen and it didn't happen until some time after high school so don't stress if you don't find work yet, just keep having fun learning new techniques and practicing. Good Luck!

I'm trying to to get into English language voice acting but I only have experience voice acting in my native language (urdu). Can I make a demo out of those? Also I have a noticable Pakistani english accent. Will that effect the type of roles I get and should I get American english accent classes?

[@brizzyvoices]

I think it depends where you live and what the entertainment industry is there like! I'm afraid I'm pretty ignorant of the voice over industry outside of the US and Canada! But if there seems to be a good amount of voice over content in your country (Pakistan?) then you should be good to make a demo in Urdu! Don't stress too much about sounding American if you aren't auditioning in America.
