HOW TO BE A VOICE ACTOR

[@alissachavez1364]

This video has inspired me in so many ways ! I work at an office Mon-Friday and i'm constantly talking in different voices, accents and making weird noises. Everyone is always telling me i should look into voice over jobs . So finally, i did ! And your video really helped to get me on the right track !

[@mrcheezypop]

Awesome!!! Good luck to you!!

[@civiccc]

its been a year or two, what are your results?

[@Haleyangelo]

I want to know as well!

[@MikeKarschti]

Very interesting. It's neat to see how you go about recording your auditions. Thanks for sharing

[@temwalumbwekaluba]

You know, I think he's right. I can do all kinds of voices on the characters. I'll just say that I can be a voice actor in my whole life. It's all becoming very clear to me. I have a gift that was so awesome, and that is voice acting.

[@kobejva]

You’re so sexy

[@Buuuuuuuuuh]

Do you do vocal warm-ups before auditioning?

[@Aidbesic]

stay hydrated rule one and breath correct...

[@ValarieLopezMueller]

this is so cool to watch!!

[@mrcheezypop]

+Valarie Lopez-Mueller Thank you!

[@aarmaucrew8032]

I have a question my computer has a microphone will that be good instead of using one of the mics you use

[@Dracorlock]

Aarmau Crew normally the quality of the computer microphones are decent. the microphone he's using captures his voice with better quality and will more likely peak the interest of the people asking people to audition.

[@ambern.643]

Dracorlock do you know what type of Mic will be best to use

[@Dracorlock]

Nightwolf_15 I haven't tested one so I'm not entirely sure but I've done some research because I'm planning on getting one. As far as I've seen is the audio technica at2020 would be my choice. But I've haven't researched more on mics for about a year so my info might be outdated. If your going budget wise. I would go with a blue yeti or the blue snowball.

[@qork1477]

this was honestly the most helpful thing I've found online for this topic and I've been through many many different videos and articles so thanks for the help

[@lolmaemae]

Thank you for posting this! You've inspired me to pursue voice acting. :)

[@kimsmelser]

Yes Yes Yes - love to see a video of "Where can we hear Max?" My kiddos would love to "hear" some of the work you have done and where else they can "Hear Max" out in the Big wide world out there. This was a fun video! I am always telling me kids they don't have to grow up and not like their job... you obviously enjoy what you do!

[@Hjerta92]

+Kimberly Smelser If you search for Maxwell Glick on audible.com you can find some of the audiobooks at least :)

[@OMGdimi]

This made me excited. Thank You for your enthusiasm

[@clarasalamanca5305]

Honestly, I learned a lot with this video. You're so good at what you do! Also, I love the fact that you always sound happy and nice when you appeal to people. Thank you so much for doing all of this! 😊😍❤

[@mrcheezypop]

Thank you! :)

[@madisonnorthup6651]

What are some voice exercises I can do before I start voice acting? I'm going to audition for a role soon and I don't want my voice to sound groggy and tired at really my only chance at becoming a VA.

[@sabrinaaseme8903]

I'm from the UK and I want to be a Voice Actress (for cartoons) in a few years time. So, can you maybe teach us how to send our audition records to them? Also, this video has helped me so much! You just got a new subscriber!

[@lucasg9526]

Sabrina Aseme i wanna do that too lol

[@seaofgeese]

Find a Voice over agency (search on the web) and email them through their new talent submission

[@andykishore]

@@seaofgeese That's what I was going to say.

[@janineh5988]

Thanks for sharing, it's so interesting. Until I saw your day in a life video, I never realised voiced actor auditions would be done from home, but it makes a lot of sense!

[@TazerGlen]

This was pretty funny. Loved it!

[@alexandraq.3010]

So happy for this video Max! Setting up the studio now and just binge watching a bunch of your VO videos. So happy I get to finally do this 😊

[@TommySalami007]

Your energy is contagious brother. Thanks for the vid!

[@Katahnz]

I'm BRAND NEW to voice over acting, I'd like to voice act as well but I have absolutely no idea where to start...

[@Ed__Powell]

Great video, Max. I'd love to see a greatest hits Max voice over reel.

[@Gryphon2026]

Dude you're great! You've got a really great personality that comes through in your voice! Thanks for making this video, this has been the most information I've been able to find on how to get into the voice acting business. I really appreciate it, thanks again!

[@MrDavid197900]

You are inspiring! I've been researching voice acting and some folks get really techincal. They have their place, but you represented the fun light side. thanks!

[@HypnoticSwitch]

This is quite helpful. Thank you for clearing some stuff up.

[@phantomx2003]

Wow, I love this. I can throw my voice a good bit for different sounding voices and have had people said I should of made a cartoon or something. This was my first video I found on my search about voice acting and have to say again wow. Thanks so much for the insight!

[@phantomx2003]

Ps. I do have a question. If you're selected for a job, is what you submitted used for the job or do you have to redo the vocal part? I noticed you said you "send in your audition" so I didn't know if there was more involved once you were awarded the job. Thx again!

[@phantomx2003]

Gottcha thanks!

[@lincolnkrystr]

thank you very much for shedding some light into voice acting! look forward to more of your works :)

[@TheJake3]

Thank you for posting this video. It’s been very helpful. I have a few advantages that may very much help me step into a whole new line of work.

[@marieelenaguidry3222]

This was incredibly kind of you to share. Thank you!!

[@GoodGlitterGumdrops]

this seems so fun! you have a very animated voice, and you're very good at your job. Keep it up Max!

[@joemanoh]

Great video! I'm starting out trying to get my reel together, so this was excellent advice. Thanks a bunch!

[@mr.vindicator4697]

This is pretty awesome to witness. I just got my equipment in and am ready to dive in. this video really gave me a place to "get my feet wet." thanks a ton.

[@ImaginaryLibrarian]

Thanks for uploading this, Max! I've been exploring all the acting opportunities I can at my college this year -- so far, I've done film acting and stage acting, and I just got a small part for my school's new voice acting group (it's going to be formatted kind of podcast-like; there are a few plays that we're translating into radio programs or something. Honestly, I'm not positive how it's set up lol). It's really interesting for me to see how actual, professional voice acting works!

[@mrcheezypop]

+Lauren Payne That's great you got a part in the voice acting group! Congrats! If you have any questions, feel free to ask! :)

[@ImaginaryLibrarian]

Thank you so much, I appreciate it! If I have any questions I'll shoot you a tweet or something!

[@TheSarahLouise24]

Great video Max. Brilliant to watch and see the whole process.

[@thefedorableful]

Thank you for this. I've always been interested in voice acting and now I think I'm going to actually try it out.

[@mrcheezypop]

+Lorena Fedor Oh I love hearing that! Let me know if you have any questions!

[@thefedorableful]

+mrcheezypop I checked out the sights you mentioned and you can't audition without a monthly fee. Would you say a beginner could eventually break even? I would like to make some extra money, not lose it.

[@lmorandi96]

I love this dude! He so happyyyy

[@NikEykIx]

Your Voice sounds really awesome :). Do you wear headphones when you audition?

[@Love-sr3nk]

Thank you for sharing all these very helpful tips!

[@fantalistic]

Wow! This was super helpful and so interesting. Thank you!

[@lucas-hw6jm]

you look like shaggy

[@lizkasper]

I keep thinking that if you get another pop filter for the other side of your laptop, it would look like Mickey ears! :-)

[@mrcheezypop]

+The Blinky Lights HA! You're so right. Might need one just for decorative purposes.

[@FunnyGuyTimmy]

Looks great. My only advice would be put some distance between the my and computer fan.

[@Readera]

I would love to see more audition samples or finished work. Would you say that a singing background is helpful?

[@jajola123]

I love your voice!

[@af6841]

I want to be a voice actor. Deep, British voice...probably good for bad guys, old dudes or the more dower serious types or narration. How much editing may be involved, or is polishing and refining something typically done by others towards the end of the process? (obviously don't send them coughing or sneezes) I was worried i'd have to lease a sound studio etc.... so that's a relief.

[@dancemariah13]

This is so awesome Max! Thank you!

[@will_da_man_]

Thanks dude! This was extremely helpful to me and I would love to have somewhat of a really fun job along the lines of this!

[@hannahshively8440]

I really enjoyed watching this!! You were a lot of fun and very helpful!! I want to try getting into voice acting, which I applaud all the VA's for that because it is hard work, but I don't know where to start. How and where do you go to learn different dynamics of your voice? Also one more question, when you started out did you get an agent right away or do a lot of the searching on your own? @mrcheezypop

[@NicoleSams614]

This made me smile so much! I love to act but have stage fright so voice acting is definatly something I would do. Do you have tips on how to create voice, keep positive, etc?

[@kittystarnightcore430]

I would love to become a voice actress when I'm older. So I figured I should start and practice when I'm young, and try all different types and see how they work. So I was wondering if you could do a video on how to do a cartoon/animation addition please and if so thank you so much!

[@raspberrymilq]

TY! I'm voice acting for some one who asked me and I needed some tips!!!! :)))

[@LiteratureGuruShaifali]

[@GottaCatchDimal]

Thank you for the video, I hope to become a voice actor sometime! You have great energy by the way haha!

[@grnlfe01]

I'd love to see more of how you work when you're doing Audiobooks.

[@mrcheezypop]

+Sam Burns I can show you that one day! Anything specific you'd like to see?

[@grnlfe01]

How much editing do you do personally on your auditions and if you have a longish project 80,000+ words how long typically does it take you?

[@mrcheezypop]

+Sam Burns I'd say double the recording time and you have your total time on a long project. On my auditions, I'm really super quick at them now. That's a skill I've mastered.

[@grnlfe01]

Same here. I know if I lose less than half the running time of a raw file I know I'm doing well.

[@RoysWorld1985]

This video is the reason I'm very interested to become a voice over actor. Hopefully, I can portrayed in a Anime series. I'm maybe 32, but I'm very passionate to do whatever I want. I don't have the best voice in the world, but I'm going to do it.

[@curlywolfone]

I know a guy that would be perfect for this! ...he lives North of Houston and is a Walmart Greeter; he's got this awesome voice and makes you feel great when you come in. His name is Cody and he's totally cool!

[@Cooper1970]

Very cool Max. Is compensation residual or simply provided at the conclusion of the project? What a creative and fun experience! Thanks-Randy

[@mrcheezypop]

+Randy Depends on the agreement. Most of the stuff online is one time payment.

[@ICDJ]

Thans for this tips.... can i use adobe audition to record?

[@mrcheezypop]

Yes you can!

[@freeclark2002]

Thank you, Max! Really informative. Hope you will do more on this subject. Will let you know when I have questions. Thanks again!!!

I have never seen a voice audition and never knew they were like this! so cool! Thanks for the insight Max :)

[@mrcheezypop]

+thesexygreenllama9 You're welcome!

[@CalebTheGreat]

he always so happy

[@DemBonesZ]

how can I test if my audio is good enough?

[@juststeveschannel]

Great video. When you're doing cartoon work or anything where there's interaction with another voiceover actor, do you often/ever get to work live in the same space or is it often/almost always recorded separately?

[@mrcheezypop]

+juststeveschannel Almost always separate.

[@juststeveschannel]

That's what I figured. It makes me sad...seems like it would be so much more fun to work together, and easier to do a really good job, too.

Excellent video; well done!

[@aileenlam7972]

I enjoyed your voice over information. Where do you get the equipments for voice over? Thanks for sharing this.

[@mrlevinielsen]

Correction about the pop filter: You don't really need one if you're just starting out because, unless you have a ribbon mic with a fragile interior, all you really need to do is tilt the mic off axis from the puffs of air creating the popping sounds so they don't hit the grill of the mic. You're p's _can_ also pop if you use a pop filter if you emote/yell loud enough. You don't need to drop 15 dollars on a piece of nylon.

[@LoveRadishes]

hey hello! what type of microphone do you use? I really like the quality of your voice and would like to buy one for myself. Thanks!

[@56strine]

My Grandson Seth did just finish that Burger King Commercial work and he is also currently doing Voice Over Auditions.

[@joyfullylivinglife7114]

Max, is there fee to apply to the job postings? Do you have to pay fees to get the job listings?

[@mrcheezypop]

+Joyful House Yes. Each voice casting site has different fees. Voices.com charges $300 a year.

[@redsplay6568]

im just now starting out. when i say starting out i mean trying to find a mic and they other exec..lol but you said something about the blue yettey(sorry about the spelling) but i have watched other video's and they talk down on it and other usb mic's idk what im gettin at but what is your opinion on what they have said. i am just wondering no disrespect intended i am just asking because of the confusion

[@mrcheezypop]

I think the Blue Yeti Pro is a great starter mic, if you treat your space properly as well. I started on it.

[@redsplay6568]

so USB mic's are good starter microphone as long as you take care an properly soundproof "studio" and keep it as quit as possible whilst recording your auditions correct or did i over look anything??? thanks for the reply BTW i liked your vid and subscribed to you channel...thx 4 the help

[@jacobwageman5801]

Nice I just use my phone to record & i make surround walls. But the closet looks better. The water park Sounded good

[@lisastrong8992]

This was very informative. Thank you for posting. What's the. What microphone and computer and sound system should I get if I want to be a voice actor/actress??

[@oliverparodies8608]

Helpful I'll take notes

[@theboringkaren]

If only I had a closet! I assessed very well for voice over and was told I have a niche for it, but the next step is recording a demo and that's where I'm stuck because I can't afford what nyc places are charging and don't know what I should be doing instead. And I know I shouldn't have to spend too much on a demo via a voice actor friend, so I've halted my pursuit. From what I can tell, having a home studio puts voice actors at an advantage so now I'm intimidated because I don't have that.

[@mrcheezypop]

+HonestlyKaren Well anyone can have a home studio! If you have questions about how to make that work in your home, let me know! As for the demo, that's something I could potentially help with as well, and not at NYC demo prices.

[@feitocomfruta]

+mrcheezypop +HonestlyKaren The best advice I can give on acoustic modification is a trifold project board with mattress topper egg crate foam for a sturdy "booth" and black-out curtains. What you are trying to do is reduce the amount of hard surfaces around the recording area. It's something you can easily do with stuff from Target or Wal Mart.

[@theboringkaren]

mrcheezypop I definitely have questions about how to make it work in a tiny room! (yay nyc). And I would love any help/tips regarding a demo!

[@pooruanimations]

You are so awesome man
