That motivation. Love it.
"Because I love being rejected." I actually found that pretty funny. xD
Why do i feel motivated all of a sudden?
jlee562 This is a good thing.
"I drink rejection for breakfast." Yummy.
This is so super informative, thanks a bunch, yo.
1:31-1:43 Is it really weird that that was one of the most encouraging things I've ever heard about voice acting? :P
For those who wanna audition for anime and FUNimation, take notes! (I know I am)
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else is searching for voice over translation jobs try Ailyahwan Easy Dominator (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my co-worker got excellent results with it.
This is the video I'll come back to each and every time I even think about giving up
BEST MOTIVATIONAL /ADVICE VIDEO EVER!!!
Good shit. This video holds up even 4.5 years later
The background music is from Far Cry dlc OST! Nice music taste :)
I would absolutely love to dub an anime
Me too.
IM AUDITIONING FOR A FANMADE DANGANRONPA GAME. VERY SCARED
Imma try to audition I got scared in the begging because you sounded scary but when you said auditioning I was like OH.
I work as a temp in a hospital doing dishes. I lost sight of my chosen profession which is to voice. But I said to myself, no, don't give up! You're doing this to go back to school which this job handles when perm hired. Then you can refine your abilities and then audition to become the goal you want. Then I saw this vid and now I'm super pumped to keep going and work my ass off, and my voice, to get where I wanna be. Thank you very much!! I kiss your face, lol. Nah :) XD
+Miyuzumei Arakat Thanks Miyu, I am happy that at least I am inspiring at least one person in the world!!
+Jonathan Jones well you got me going! I've been recording myself and working on skits on myself to get stated. Shamelessly using your videos as examples XD lmao. But hey, I want to voice as a career and not as "another job" ^_^
This video was oddly intimidating. By the end of it all I had to say was a meek, "Y-yes, sir," and then off I shot like a bolt of lightning.
I'm loving this series. Great insight and tips along with a healthy dose of humor.
Gave me a shit-eating grin like I'm gonna win. Thanks for the boost, dude, even if I'm a little late.
Hey man, I just got accepted to work on voice bunny. Do you have any experience with that site?
Yes, I have used Voice Bunny many times. They are an okay resource for work. I've made around $400 on just one project alone once, and then another $350 one from a cool toy company. You just have to set your prices professional, and keep a good track record. (You might have to start off kinda low until you build a portfolio and a little rep first).
+Jonathan Jones thanks for the info man, really appreciate it.
FarCry 3: Blood Dragon soundtrack? I approve.
Thanks for the tips, It makes me really think
Thanks for the input, you bring up some solid points that slip by a lot of people, but here's my question:
WHERE do you audition? The only site I know that posts voice acting jobs is Voices.com - should I pay for a profile on there?
+Judith Barbosa No, don't start there. Voices.com and Voice123 should only be considered an option when you are GOOD, because if you get on there without being a solid professional, then you won't grab any jobs (at least for a nice profit). There are a lot of top talent on those sites, but if you think you sound fantastic, and you have some AMAZING DEMOS THAT ROCK. Then go for it!! In the mean time a good place to start is on Upwork.com and freelance places where you can at least start to build a portfolio of work. You'll learn how to make mistakes and also how to work and get clients by using freelance sites starting off. LOG ALL YOUR CLIENTS into a mailing list and never forget they exist, because they WILL forget about you. Use gmail GROUP LIST or something cloud based so it's easy to manage. But, have all the clients you work with in one place so that way you can 'group' e-mail all of them at least once a month to remind them that you still exist, it will refresh their mind that you are a dependable talent! If you don't do this, you'll be struggling for work constantly.
+Jonathan Jones this was probably the most solid and useful advice I've received on the subject. thank you so much!
+Judith Barbosa Judith, it was my pleasure! :D
Casting club or backstage are a few voice acting websites
Help I wanna voice act anime but I can't keep a consistent american accent D: (British)
What do I do?
Learn American.
Keep practicing, tom holland (the new Spider-Man) can do it, you can too!
As Theodore Roosevelt said: "Believe you can and you're half way there."
your good im hoping to a be a voice actor too, you have a lot of energy to be a voice actor and thats good
Wow... this really put things in perspective for me. Not sure if all this info is legit but I guess I'll find out eventually. Good thing i have a some experience in sound editing from way back!!
Thanks Shawnti... as a working voice talent on all mediums. It is definitely legit. I work for many clients that do not know much in the way of compression and equalization, so once you grasp YOURSELF on what a commercial should sound like or what puts that 'sparkle' in your own sound, it helps in knowing how to add that yourself. That way when you DO audition, you already sound good... and if the client wants adjustments, you then know how to correct it, because a lot of the times, they just can't do it... they take what sounds good and if you are on top of that, it's all for the better!
Ok I'm 14 and I wanna try this one day it sounds hard but when the day is done and if I ever have this as a job I belive it will be fun should I keep trying and practicing
Hey man don't do it later. Later never comes. You gotta do it now! It's always better to start young. Good luck!
1:09 hikarian animations, good 'ol Sif. I voice the main character in her series called Tales of Zale! Haha, small world oh goodness
Is it okay to audition for several parts (roles) at the same time? Or it shows you are not connected with the character?
For someone who has no Sound Editing experience. What would you suggest? Any tools, tricks or tips that could help me understand it more and train myself how to edit better?
TheHalfricanDevil A lot of editing experience comes from trial and error in the ways you play and 'experience' yourself with the software. A lot of what I learned is from just 'playing'. As for how to USE the software. You can find everything and anything right here on youtube. Run into a specific hurdle or question, it can always be answered on youtube. :)
Got any good resources for searching for auditions?
this is the best shit at the right time, thank you
I like this video but the Batman voice is a bit scary. Good Video though thanks
I’m planning on being a voice actor for Disney/Pixar
this the best video ever!!
just starting out... got inspired by watching booth junkie. Built my own booth and now have purchased all of the needed equipment. Published a book three month ago that took 11 years and decided to do voice over for it myself. So that will be my first project. Can you work full time and still have enough time to audition?
Thank you for the advice!
You're always auditioning. Even celebrities audition... it's a process that is mandatory in this business so people can either see how SHIT you are, or how awesome you are. Always strive to impress. Otherwise, you will fall and stay at the bottom. Be BRILLIANT.. and never tolerate anything less than that. Figure out what you are awesome at, and stick with it. :D Keep up the good work!
what software do you use to edit your voice overs?
I use Adobe Audition CS5.5
I'm just a kid and I would love to voice act what age should I audition
yes I want this...better than what I;m doing now
DONT FORGET TO SUBSCRAIIIIIBE !
me - AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH , YOU GOT ME SCREAMING .
Everything yes.
This seems like a pep talk xD I was wondering though, how "loud" exactly should an audition be?
Standard broadcast volume is -3dB
Thank you! You just saved future me from sending in a bunch of auditions at -6
creepy but also very useful :D
I have a very good voice for an act my friends say i can go far
Suppose you live 4 hours away from Dallas but get hired for a Funimation series. Assuming you have a friend's place to crash at, how long does it typically take to record a 12-ish episode series so my friend knows about how long to expect my visit? I love my life in Tulsa, but I want to exist in both realms.
How did you get hired for a Funimation series? How/where did you audition?
it didn't work out. I'd have to move:(
luv it
dint you say that they sought the sound for you in another vid
I have no idea what you are talking about man.
This seems fairly self serving. I don't need to know you have 20 auditions a day. Seems like a humble brag.
Tt
I don't know how to sound edit can you tell me how to edit it on my phone
+Fatima Mazen Use your browser on your phone to go on a website that sells computers. Then use your freshly purchased computer.
+Fatima Mazen I may be new to this, but I know that phones >>are not
And I wanted to and believed I could do this?! Maybe believing I don't need to be an #obnoxiousblathermouth wasn't such a bad decision after all!!
If someone has such level of noise like you showed on 2:58 then better forget about voice acting until buy a new microphone
Oo! Also! If you get FNAF2 can you do a vid about it!? :D
Dunno.. depends on my motivation and imaginational spark.
Yeah it's up to u xD
Wait Wha I have to edit my own stuff
Yep!
hey i just recently started watching your videos very rich informative and humorous content u make people feel right at home with your videos, i just started vo few months ago and recently completed my professional demo with some coaching.... i wanted to ask if u could take 1 min to check it out on my page i would greatly appreciate your feedback
LMAO total bullshit 3:26 - 3:51
Actually it's not bullshit. :3 I know plenty of clients who don't know anything about sound. They have you do it yourself. They'd rather concentrate on their own work rather than worry about trying to be an audio engineer.
