Popular Post Buns Posted July 6, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 So let me get started and say today I went to Florida SuperCon and attended a panel where the voice actor most known for her role Tiny Tina in Borderlands was doing a Q&A and someone asked her for Voice Actor advice and I thought I would share it here with all of you aspiring voice actors. The following are the questions and the best I can remember them and their answers. It has been a few hours hopefully I remember most of it! The questions are in this color Ashlys Answers are this color What advice can you give for people who want to start Voice Acting? Start by imitating. Do your best to imitate voices you like on TV/Games/People/etc and after a while build your own voices based on multiple imitations and create something unique. Another piece of advice I got from another voice actor is whenever you're playing Text Based Games with nobody speaking. Read the text and make your own voices for each character. How do I get started in the voice acting industry? Make a demo reel/portfolio of your voices. Just slap something quick in Audacity(a free opensource audio recording program) and you can even look offer your voicework for free. Try looking for indie developers who are in need of voice actors for their game or college animation students who need voices for their game and do free work for them! Please remember that these are not the exact words from Ashly herself these are just what I remember from what she said and I did my best to rewrite it for all of you. This is some pretty great advice and you should totally share this with any of your friends who are aspiring voice actors. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_Make_Big_Boom Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 You know I actually have an interest for doing this sort of thing sometime. I know I probably don't have the best of "voice", but it would be pretty kewl to do some voice work for some indie games or something. Thanks for sharing!

Don't try to judge your voice so quickly you never know what role an indie game needs! And you're welcome I knew people might find some interest in it. I hope some people find this helpful/motivational. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rue Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Wow, that's really cool that you got to go to Florida Supercon! I'm not really interested in voice acting myself, but this was still an interesting read and anyone who asks me about how to get started voice acting (I don't know why they would ask me, but you never know ) I can point them in the right direction. Nicely done for a pair of Bnus! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
