Lesson Three
The best way to break into the voiceover industry right now is through social media. If not, then that could also be word of mouth if you’re on a budget.
In reality, there is no educational course you can sign up for to become a voiceover artist that holds the expectation of other industries. People may sell you their experiences and what they’ve learned, and that may get you closer to becoming a professional voiceover artist, but what will get you there is getting things like training, coaching, and mentorship!
Try to find someone who’s going to support you and guide you into a product that is ready to be consumed by the industry.
I always found this tip very cliché for many years until I had to practice it myself, but being yourself is truly the secret. You know how they say opposites attract? That’s what you exactly must be, the opposite, that’s how you find your voice, and that’s how you find your feet.
This is the best method in finding your people, your community, by drawing them closer to the essence of you.
My personal preference and technique is that i do a range of voices which are cartoon characters, documentary voices, and radio and TV ads. My favourite go to option, however, has to be my Mickey Mouse impression and my announcer voice.
What do you call someone who can support you and guide you into a career path?
