become a voice actor

People always grow up wanting to be famous. Be in movies, model or have a record deal, but i never hear about voice actors. It seems so fun cause you actually bring a animated character to life and i think it perfect for me. I have a great personality, im usually always blurrin out something funny to say in diffrent kinds of voices depends on my mood :) My friends consider me goofy sometimes for it cuz it always makes dem laugh.

Ever since I was 8 and I watched, what I could reconize as anime, I have wanted to be apart of the anime industry. I tried drawing anime characters but I wasn’t very good at that, and I am good at thinking up stories that would be great for anime shows, sci-fi shows, and video games but I have a problem with righting. All that was left was to be a voice actor, but that’s not the only reason I want to be a voice actor. My parents said I was always a born actor, even though I was shy when I say tons of people watching me, also I didn’t really care about drama play and musicals that my mom would try to sign me up for. I wanted, even back when I was 8, to be able to be apart of anime but still be able to hang out with fans, friends, other members of the anime industry, and do all of the stuff fans like and do, like cosplay (which I do already), make AMVs, karaoke, and so on. Vic Mignogna sort of became my hero when I knew who he was, who he voiced, and what he did. Now I am 16 years old and I want more then anything to become, my dream job, a voice actor.

Well I’ve taken the first couple of steps. I have created demos, got them out to different agencies and I called to follow-up. Now I’m just waiting to hear a good word.

Well, for my first entry, I’ll list things that I’ve already done toward this goal. I’ve auditioned for and been in quite a few local theatre productions, for high schools, colleges and now the local theatre group. I’ve taken a few high school acting classes and I’m about to move on to college classes. I’ve taken a couple years of choir, but I quit early on and I need to train my voice back, so I’m joining a local choir when I finish my most recent show. I’ve also done a lot of reading and practicing. I’ve got a section of my book shelf devoted to books on voice acting, and I spend a lot of time imitating voices that I hear on television, in music, or in my prefered area, anime. I also follow the work of specific actors and imitate their voices as much as possible. Starting out with baby steps!

Create a new demo. Shop it around to agents, and producers.

The best job you can get since you can work like an adult, and still keep the imagination you had as a child. Someday I’m going to be that. I feel bad for the voice actors though, not being able to seperate the people who only see them as their voice idol from that animé, or that movie, from the people who want to get to know them as people, and hopefully become friends. I think if I could get one voice actor and one voice actress to be my friend and to teach me the basics, I think that I may have a chance. Note to self and to all, facebook may have some actors, but it doesn’t work, neither does myspace.

Highly unlikely, seeing as I’m known as the girl who doesn’t talk around my high school. I would really have to learn how to be “out there” in front of people who are not family and friends. It was another thing I didn’t know existed, I just watched the anime. Then I got curious about who did the voices and discovered this whole business that exists around it! I’m such a moron….

was always a dream to do this!like a voice for the simpsons or family guy..i’ve watched how they do it on youtube and ever since i wanna become a voice actress.me and my brother used to put futurama on MUTE and just talk as their voices in german:)hmm i guess i have to start in DRAMA CLASS…or what else can u do?

My voice is my weapon. imitations, originals…you name it.

it’s something taht’s always felt natural to me…
though it seems the deamnd runs high for people who want to read scripts, not perform vocally.

hell, i’d do it for free.

I want to become a voice actress for ANIME!! I loove anime, manga and it is now one of my dreams to become a voice actress for an anime character.
