[@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.

[@gingadreamurr6238]

That moment when you want to voice act, but you get anxiety as you feel you’ll mess up. I’m not an introvert, but my fear of failure has held me back from so much in my life so far.

[@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

[@gingadreamurr6238]

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.

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)

"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.

I submitted my free audition yesterday. It was recorded on my phone. I listened to the others’ auditions and whoo boy, are they so good. But I honestly have so much fun doing voice acting.

[@chris123chris82]

It’s amazing how many people are like “I can do a lot of voices” that’s nice, work on actual acting. I don’t think people realize how difficult it is to come across as someone they arent. Acting is a art regardless if you’re seen or just heard. Practice and maybe your dreams will come true! Good luck improving your acting skills 👍

[@The_Ahab]

thanks for the great video! many of the other 'how to get into voice acting' videos don't quite go over what you have. many helpful ideas/suggestions here! Just starting the journey myself and you've given me a bit more confidence!

This is a huge help for me, as I’m an aspiring voice actor, and am finally getting to that point where I’m being requested for very small paying jobs, like web series’ etc. I wasn’t sure where to go from there, and how to become even bigger, so knowing all these resources for further practice and insight will definitely help me out in the long run! Thank you so much for this video, and everything else you make on this channel, and elsewhere! You have no idea how much of an inspiration you are to me!! :)

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

[@FanGirlStephie]

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]

The FanGirl Sisters damn you’re a great sister

[@FanGirlStephie]

[@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.

This is A very legit video! When I took my first voice over class a lot of us thought itd be cool to have our teacher make a little reel of the clips we did. He was honest and simply said "Trust me. You do NOT want those." It wasnt until after the class where I started getting the hang of it more. 2 big things we were taught was things Brizzy is doing, using hand motions (your words follow your hands) and smiling all the time so that the words have amazing diction and are crystal clear.

[@metalica887]

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.

But honestly they don't really teach you like...how to actually *get a job* as a performer, so although I have my degree and my acting chops are pretty solid, there is still a big learning curve, especially when it comes to the practical application of skills, and so it's been up to me to get that self education that college left out and it's so...I mean it's utterly overwhelming.
