Why I want to be a Voice Actor: It is fun, and I really like to “experiment” with my voice. What got me into voice acting: Back when I was in the Ace Attorney community I saw the bloopers from the anime dub and the Voice actors seemed to have so much fun. Then when I tried to make some random voices (and when I recently auditioned for the first time) I realized that it actually was really fun!

[@aoaoli]

It was Akame ga Kill bloopers for me. They just seem to have so much fun and it also seems like a good way to get a little better at being sociable without really having to interact with people as much.

[@lua-sp1op]

[@stoneminer4464]

Dude this is pretty much 100% me. Except in my case it was the dub VAs for Rurouni Kenshin, not Ace Attorney.

[@Thealgoodsaga]

Why I want to be a voice actor: I don’t know why but there’s something about poring my voice out and into a a whole new character is so bold. Giving a beautiful animation a personality and bring it to life is so exciting. I love it and I really hope I could become a voice actor when I’m older.

[@mija1570]

Now i want yo hear your voice ;)

[@A_Salty_Fishe]

I've tried it dude, what I would recommend is only get into it if you can already act, and act well at that. Because people can only hear you, you need to convey as much of the character through your voice alone as you possibly can. And that's not easy, at least in my experience.

[@MarshallThomas]

Just get a laptop with some cheap but good headphones, who said you need a fancy setup to start with

[@crystalgrose]

I have always (ever since I was 9) wanted to get into TV/movies, especially when I lived in California. My family moved to Mississippi when I was 12, so that pretty much killed my dream due to the south not having opportunities really to get into show business. I have however been an extra in 2 movies. As I grew, I was always told by family, friends, associates that I should get into something more practical because show business is a very hard business to get into and not guaranteed. So I listened. After graduating from high school, I started working in another field. I went to college. Got 2 degrees, and I am currently pursing my 3rd degree. However, I've never felt that I have pursued my "true" calling. I always felt most of my entire life that I was meant for show business - whether it be TV, movies, radio etc. People have been telling me for years that I have a nice voice, and they request me for certain things to read for programs, ceremonies, and other occasion. I will be 40 this year, and although I currently still live in the south, I am ready for a fulfilling career change. I have spent so many years unfulfilled. Any other advice would be appreciated. Thanks :)

I love reading stories to my children and bringing characters to life. I have had many MANY people who have heard me read (in school, meetings, at home, volunteering at a library) that I sound like a radio personality... So I have decided to give it a try😊

[@hadsbros]

I knew this is what I wanted to do since the 3rd grade. Starting with telling wacky and funny stories and replicating sounds and voices. So much to the point where my fellow students would gather around and want to hear what my next story would be whilst using unique voices and sounds for the characters and setpieces. Also, they'd ask or even tell me to do my voices and sounds on command, even when I run into them 20+yrs later. Singing came along with it, traveling in bands and choirs from straight out of school all the while expressing my love to interact with the public and individuals by bartending in the process whenever I came home. Building upon my range, character and adaptations at such an early age and never stopping really made my abilities second nature and an everyday joy for me. Voice acting is something I love, fell into, just comes out of me and it's just a big part of who I am. I aspire to continue my journey now as a professional voice actor so I can also continue to share, provide, entertain and create new pathways into what makes me....me.....and to discover what amazing opportunities and discoveried I can become part of.

Hi Jason. 3 reasons I want to get into voice acting. 1. I've been inspired by Peter Cullen, Kevin Conroy, and Jame Earl Jones.(just to name my top 3). 2. I always used to play with my daughter using funny voices and she suggested that I try it. 3. I used to do voice overs when I worked in radio. Besides it being fun I figured since so many people told me they like my voice why not use it. I'm currently an audio visual technician so I know exactly the equipment I need. Glad I came across your tutorials on KZbin. Ready to get started.

I'm 29 now but have had an affinity for voice acting since the 2nd grade when I would give each character a voice when reading out loud in class.

Been told I should use my voice for a living by multiple people but I don't take compliments well so I just kind of brush them off but I think it's truly my calling.

[@jonathanfoutz8931]

I’m thinking about doing this because 1-I’ve always loved doing voices and impersonations (even when I’m by myself) 2-I’ve had strangers tell me throughout my life that I have a nice voice 3-I’m very drawn to the voice acting community, or rather, all my heroes in Hollywood are voice actors. Bill Hader, Jim Cummings, Mark Hamill, Mona Marshall, Tara Strong, Tom Kenny, Tom Kane, Dan Castellaneta, Harry Shearer, etc 4-I noticed I was doing different “takes” when rereading books to my children and trying to get the best one down for the best effect.

[@finaritrarambeloson2116]

“Why do you want to become a voice actor ?” Hmm let’s see. I want to become a voice actor to discover the diversity of the possibilities of the characters I can play. From a crybaby to a really really really serious and Machiavellian villain, from a student to an old person, etc. I want to be able to play any types of characters and tempers. Also, seeing Zenitsu’s voice actor (sub and dub) screaming all the time makes me want to try voice acting so much. Although I know my voice will die because of it, I want to know the tips to avoid those dangers (warm ups, etc). Plus, Zenitsu’s dub voice actor plays a villain too (I want to do things like him (*^*). I don’t know why I’m posting this because there’s no guarantee you’ll se this comment. Anyways thanks a lot for this video ! : )

[@nxte6665]

I started voice overs completely oblivious to the industry or job definition or profitability. I occasionally make some videos that need voice overs and I'd watched videos that had them so I just recorded, naturally I would delete and remake as I learnt on the go, and I'd always done asynchronous chronicling, recounting commentating. Then one, not so sunny morning, I got a job request, and that changed everything.

[@NeighborhoodOfBlue]

When I was a little kid, I originally wanted to sing professionally. Life got in the way and priorities changed, and strangely enough I've been told by more than a few people I should consider voice acting. Why? I have a natural inclination to come up with voices for animals to suit the situation and their behavior, and have a tendency to make strange noises, voices, and sound-effects because I find it amusing and entertaining to do it. I have no idea where to begin or how to go about it, and my life is pressing me to consider working for myself due to chronic health issues. Thank you for being an answer, and helping direct me and the many others interested in this profession.

I want to become a voice actor because: - For whatever reason the voice of a character in any sort of media interests me a lot. Especially the people who voice said character and what other characters they have done stuff for.

[@DJKiller11]

I wanted to be a voice actor manly due to the fact that, I write my own short story books and try to change my voice for every character I make. Also due to the fact that voice acting is an interesting job, but I really got into it because of the amount of anime I watched as a kid. Plus voice acting has some great challenges in it, and it's always good to have challenges. Another reason why I want to become a voice acting so I can voice act in anime series and move people's heart, allow them to get that great feeling when there character says something epic, funny or have that one line that opens their eyes to opportunity like anime did to me.

Why I want to be a voice actor? My last two years of high school I was really interested in things involving film. I have done theatre since the sixth grade so I knew how to change up my voices. However at first I wanted to be an editor but it’s changed a bit. I also work more comfortably at my home (unless I have to go out) I also did random voices for the fun of it. What got me interested? An app I found I thought it was just for singing (I just used it to troll) and I saw there were voice acting options. I tried them out and enjoyed it a lot. I also got inspired by the voice actor Ashleigh ball. She’s my inspiration.

I've loved cartoons to death since I was a kid. I was asked to VO for a local cartoon when I was 9 (that unfortunately was never released) and I recently just graduated from film school. We had a few classes in sound that included dubbing and a few student projects I did VA for, I absolutely loved doing that so I decided I should give it a serious try. I've always been told that I have a very expressive and even "cartoonish" voice from my everyday speaking voice to the weird sounds and impressions I often do.

[@daegukreb4219]

I felt like it was something I wanted to do and was passionate about.

Which is natural for me. - I love animated movies, and always try to invision the person behind the characters, unless we already know who it is. - I’m more comfortable behind the Scenes, I can be me. - Friendly, outgoing with my close friends, and business minded. Since I already own 50% of a thriving business now. Thanks!

[@tacthescribbler772]

Stumbled onto this video while looking at various paths for getting into voice acting, and I have to say that despite my introverted, somewhat reclusive nature, I'm still interested. - I may be introverted, but I'm not shy. However, I *am* a perfectionist. I worry about messing things up a lot. I'm learning to get over it, though. - I've been told that I have a soothing voice, yes, but that's not what made me want to be a voice actor, although it has influenced me a little. In fact, I have a hard time changing my voice outside of really obvious impersonations. (I can imitate Stitch from Lilo and Stitch, for example, but I can't make my voice gravelly or deep.) - I can handle rejection. It doesn't feel good to be rejected, but it happens to everyone at some point, and I'm willing to accept rejection, which leads me to the reason I want to get into voice acting: "If we gave up every time we lost, then we'd never be able to move forward." Ruby Rose, from the show RWBY. I'm a creative person, and I find inspiration everywhere. My subconscious is always working to filter through my experiences and find useful tidbits for my stories. And I find a lot of inspiration in video games, TV shows, and books. One of the TV shows I've found to be so inspirational is RWBY. (There are others, too, of course.) To see the progress that has been made on a show which started with small, 5-minute episodes... and to see the progress that the actual characters make within the show... that's huge for me. It shows that if you want something enough, if you work for it, you can achieve it. It's a lesson my parents taught me. And I think that voice acting can be a way to live that lesson for me, because it runs contrary to a few of my own personality traits (perfectionism being one of them), traits which I want to overcome.

For me it's by animations like characters in different series, my voice is that great but I'm trying to learn my best.

Why I wanted to voice act started when I used my true voice one day. I had always thought it weird that I have the voice I do with how I look. So I altered my voice to fit how I thought it should sound. One day after an exhausting night before I was too tired to care about how I sounded and spoke in my natural voice. And the very first person I spoke to that day at work asked if I was on the radio or something. And it got me thinking to try an experiment, so since then I’ve always spoken that way and I get the compliments every day. And now thinking of a purpose for why beyond being told so, I want to give back to a community that was such a large part of my childhood. Anime, video games, all those things in a way helped shape me to who I am as a person today. I want to bring out that emotion in peoples hearts. Be that voice that guides them towards being their best self. There’s a solace some of us find in these things. But hey, if I can help bring a smile to someone’s face. Then doing this is all the more worth it

I love voice acting since i was a child, I can even mimic female voice in the phone saying: “The number you have dialled is either unattended or out of coverage area. Please try your call later.”

[@luisfujimaki9275]

1. I love playing funny with my voice and accents 2. Accents in different languages like English, Portuguese and Spanish 3. Just wanted to start for fun 4. All of my friends, family and clients always ask “why I don’t try voice acting” as part time 5. Career change? I’m almost 40

[@tiktokblastingvideos9019]

Good one for learner

[@sheikhmusamakhaan2792]

Acting was my dream but I lost my eyesight and being blind it would be impossible to be an actor so I want to be a voice actor. And also so as you said that people say I've got a good voice and it motivated me to be a voice actor.

[@Nederbird]

I think it started when people told me that I'm could at acting out different characters, especially after have played Dungeons & Dragons together, and when they told me I have a nice voice, some people like to hear me read stuff to them. I also do like reading things aloud sometimes, just to immerse myself in it, and sometimes it's just like... an innate drive or urge or something like that. I suppose I'm fairly good with accents too. I suffer from Asperger's Syndrome and was diagnosed at a very early age. One of the symptoms for me was that I had a relatively monotone way of speaking: I'd often speak with little to no inflection, generally too loud for my surrounding, in long and endless streams of sentences, and generally fail at the pragmatic aspects like turn taking, humour, sarcasm and the like. I also used zero body language and facial expressions, and thus had trouble properly expressing myself, and more than once I was falsely accused of lying because of it. As a teen, I spent inordinate amounts of time simply practising intonation, pace, body language, expressions,, what words to use, when to make pauses, how to tell a joke, etc. It took years, but I eventually managed to attain a level or proficiency where I didn't put people off with my manner or speech. Since it was already ingrained in me by then, I just kept practising other things, like different accents and dialects, or properly pronouncing foreign languages, or attaining fluency in English. By now, I've reached I level where I can (without explicit intention) fool other native English speakers that English is my native language (most assume I'm Australian, when in fact I'm Swedish). I've also spent hours of time just trying to understand different people and their perspectives, and different schools of thought, just to better be able to understand the people around me. That experience has given me a working toolkit, so to speak, for learning how to perform a character. I also find it fun to play out characters and read dialogue, or even just read plain text (whether narrative or descriptive). Because of this, as well as the seemingly large amount of opportunities in fan communities (such as mods, fandubs, and film projects), voice acting has been on my mind as a potential career avenue for a good few years now. I'm currently at a juncture where I've more or less lost the motivation and desire for pursuing my previous career option (translation) and am looking for something else. I'm also on my way out of a 4-5 year long depression that's put a damper on all my aspirations and my active life, and I'm looking for way to... I dunno, become active again, I suppose. Voice acting has increasingly felt like something I want to work with, whether as a career or simply as a hobby, and the relatively low cost of getting started makes it seems a lot less of a mental hurdle than trying to get into, say, research or professional acting.

[@imabigblackduck]

Why do I wonna become a voice actor? Very nice voice Voice act consistently in my spare time since I was a young child and never noticed Always enjoyed the different voices for many characters in video games, anime, and other media film.

[@crossieuxz_mallah1102]

as a bilingual person, sometimes I struggle in maintaining an accent. But, the fact that I like voice acting is about interacting within a fictional character and oneself. It’s more like role playing

[@jamie5661]

Nick Kroll inspires me and I’ve gotten into voice acting

[@johnbecker267]

"Why do I wanna be a voice actor?" Well it is a lot of different things... One is that I just always enjoyed doing impressions and sometimes I'll just make little stories and characters in my head and just run with them. See where things go you know? I just found the field to be very compelling for me and it is what I have wanted to do for a long time. The big problem for me though is the area I live in... there's no jobs that can reliably help me and I live check to check. What little money I saved up was for me to buy a blue nano Yeti microphone and that took me months just to save up for that. It is hard to just try to reach for something and struggle at every turn, but I am motivated still and I think your vids will help me even further down the line on this subject.

[@whatever7240]

I do Lyft and Uber on the side and many of my passengers have told me I have a great voice for radio and/or voice acting. Even before that others said the same thing. They tell me I have a good depth and tone or something like that. But I really don't hear it. Far as I'm concerned, I sound like I sound. I have a deep voice but that doesn't make a good voice actor. I'm all for making money so I guess if I got the opportunity I could give it a shot but there's no chance I'd be able to make a career out of it. I'm too much of a grunt to venture beyond simple jobs like my warehouse and driving people around or making deliveries.

[@Astrobiologica]

I am interested in voice acting because I listen to audio books while working and at the gym, it looks like a fun no mess hobby :)

[@headbandsam8793]

I’m very interested in voice acting mostly because of the cartoons and anime I watched when I was little and I feel like I could really do it. I just don’t know where to start.🤔

[@youredogwater2412]

Same how do you start??????????????????????

[@Lkutzervoices]

Hello Jason, I really want to become a voice actor. I have already completed several audio-books but would LOVE to break into the commercial aspect. I have completed a couple of projects in that venue successfully. At this point I feel I may need some coaching, but not sure who would really be a good fit for me in that regard. Tried one and was not very pleased. Learned some things but felt that I was being discouraged. I do daily broadcasts in the Retail environment where I work in management. So many people come in to see me and tell me how great I sound doing those broadcasts. I really want to do this!

[@harmonygalpal9]

i have experience with theater, speaking in public, singing in church and at competitions in the US and Canada in the Sweet Adeline World. I also love to do accents. I work on them if I am given a part to do when it is required. I would like to do this on the side and go from there.

[@jasminmuratalla750]

I really love animated films and I am really good at expressing a lot of emotion through my voice alone and well I love acting in general thank you for giving me some ground to start on

[@AJDaniels5298]

I've always been good at reading out loud, I can interpret a script well, and I'm a huge nerd so anime, video games, cartoons, etc., would be a good fit for me. I'm not very good at customer service or sales, but I've worked as a photojournalist in the past and I liked writing the little PR blurbs accompanying my photos. I also worked as a graphic designer for the PICKIEST damn man on Earth, who changed his mind 357 times a day, so rejection and modulation are skills I have. I've always wanted to be an actor but I'm not much to look at so voice acting would be a good choice for me.

[@KazimirDrulovic]

Anime, Video Games and even I been listening to the voices the actors and actresses that voices their characters.

[@flashfirepunch8634]

I thought it would be a really fun career as I enjoy and love anime, cartoons, video games, and even those cool trailers with those dramatic voices (lol) but after this I’m a little scared it sounds a lot more difficult and strenuous then I expected
