As a highly respected friend of mine once taught me - "Think big, start small, go deep." Great advice Bill...

I recently got into voice acting. I've been wanting to do it for years and I made my first demo reel. I'm still getting my feet wet, I'm just looking for small projects at the moment. Free, paid, it doesn't matter. I'm having fun doing voice overs. It's a blessing if I do say so myself 🙏
We're on the same boat then, I was watching this video because I want to start a career on voice over or dubbing, but I dont know where to start or what tools or accessories do I need to have first.
Can you suggest any good website to start voice over
@@ayshaadi4316 Im kinda new too, but from what I know I would suggest casting call club or behind the voice actor (search it on google, you'll find it)
Amen, brother
it's almost 3am here in our country and here I am still thinking if I can still achieve my dream while watching this
I think many people don’t know this so I’m just gonna say it, voice “overing” and voice “acting” are two different things. In voice acting you will dub/give your voice to a character while in voice overing your job will be similar to a narrator. for ex-the guy who talks in the background on discovery channel.
Agreed with story narration being the grey area.
I swear I heard this man before
Mike Stehn similar to Casey Casem
Same, it's like that voice you've heard EVERYWHERE.
Same here!!!!!!!!!!! He sounds so! familiar!!! Pleasant voice. Deep. 😙
Factoid about Casey Kasem, he was the voice of Shaggy, the hippie in the green shirt on Scooby-Doo, for many episodes.
pacer test i think i idk
His voice sounds like he’s that voice over from like bright side or infographic show
YES
Hey, I am an actor, and filmmaker and this video just really helped me out. Because it's so true for these type of businesses. I think especially on the internet people look for that "quick fix" or instant gratification when creating art. However, businesses like ours take a long time and dedication. I'm only 20 years old and I understand I probably won't be where I want to be until 2030, but I couldn't imagine myself doing anything else. So might as well go all the way right? Thank you for making this!
I wish I was a kid actor but it's only in my Dream, I want voice over too when I get Big. ⭐⭐⭐
If you will ever need a voice over artist please let me know in your industry, even for free! I've asked for this from you because "the one who has suffered can understand others". Please
I swear this guy's voice's so smooth I want to use it as a back track music
It is very creaky at times, though. I think, he should minimize that.
This describes most, if not every industry lol
@@JoeZieja yea im in hospitality and they always say to make sure you bring a steak knife to the table with any thick meats. Same applies to surgeons
I want to do it for the fun. If the money comes, Amen.
Every time I mention that I'm a voice over talent to anyone, at least one person asks me how I do it because they want to do it too. I will always share whatever I know to whoever asks, but I'm always skeptical about how serious people are for exactly the reasons you just articulated so well. I guess that's why you're the voice over expert! lol! Great video!
Can i dm you to get some info
Is that your voice in that ad dare to be free with feelectics?
who can possibly give this thumbs down??? it's full of positivity and truth - lord, there are weird folk in this world. I give it the thumbs up. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you for the reality check about careers in voice overs. Determination, thick skin and teach ability are the steps to success.
Im a musician that lost 90% of my work due to covid. That being said up until this past march I built a full time business playing music. It took like 3 years before i could depend on it for a full time living. Once i got to 5 gigs a week I had to continue to hustle. Marketing, passing out cards, emails , personal interviews with potential clients. I can totally understand where this man is coming from. Since I have good sucess in the past with my music journey im going to apply the same effort as I did in music. Nobody hans you anything in this life you have to go out and ask for the order as my salesman friend told me.
Great stuff Bill. "Slow and steady wins the race." Autonomy is a great thing, but also requires accountability to yourself. Each day, my VO goal is to be better than I was yesterday, no matter how small the stride.
Hi Bill, I've always heard Marketing is 90% of the game. You can have all the talent but if you're not promoting yourself, no one 's gonna know about you and what you have to bring. Another words, a GO-GETTER and yes "tenacity." You're "spot on" --
thank you for sharing your videos, you've got me hooked, I learn alot from them.
Unless you're a child, if you think it's anyone else's responsibility to do anything for you in life, you're probably facing an uphill struggle as is.
Basic crap there. This is one of those MOTIVATIONAL/EVALUATIONAL seminars. Past that point.
Great video and another example of the VO community being welcoming, warm, but also very straightforward and honest.
There is a tremendous education lurking on Bill's RUclips channel. Highly recommend going back through his archives and watching all of them starting with the very first one. Caution: don't go getting excited and run out to execute a game plan after watching only a few. Invest the time to watch them all.
oh man, some people I know should listen this video over and over , as a lesson of life.
As always, Bill is a source of wisdom & comfort! Just getting into this business, 45 auditions on voice123 and haven't won one yet. But if it took Bill 100 auditions, then I know I must not be that awful lol! Thanks Bill for another great video
Christy how is it going now for ya?
Awesome advice here, shot straight from the hip! I will be sharing!! Thanks Bill!
Geez, Bill, it's like you KNEW I needed to hear these reminders this week .... :) Thank you!
This is a must watch for everyone considering VO careers. Bill, I wish I found your videos long ago.
Loved the video, Bill! Thanks for keeping it real!
Thanks Bill! Yes getting your mind in the right place is huge!!! Run your own race, but run it everyday!!
Bill, this was a great video and thanks for laying out on the line. This is a very tough business but I can also see the rewards if one can persevere. I've done over 150 auditions and finally landed my first after a year into the business. But I have a tough skin and plan to continue this passion that I've developed for voice-over. It is always both refreshing and educational to watch one of your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and continued success to you and your business.
Love your videos....really appreciate it, Bill. Thank you!
Bill, so appreciate that you say it like it is -- straightforward. I value your insight.
Great, candid advice, especially for beginners in VO or those considering it. Priceless.
Glad I watched this vid, have been finding a few of these things lately but not letting them hold me back and am always learning how to be better at all aspects. Thank you for the vid
Tough love Bill. It is what we need to hear. Thank you!
Thank you for the sound and truthful advice!
Thank you so much for this particular video ! I’m so thankful I stumbled across it, the encouragement I received from hearing someone that is truly “in the know” remind me that I am most definitely on the right track and have my head in the right place! I am definitely learning all the right lessons from what I’ve heard from professionals such as yourself. Will def be reaching out for coaching very soon!
Thanks, Bill!
Great, timely advice.
I'm just starting to get into it. It is actually comforting that I have acknowledged and accepted the very points you brought up before I even watched the video! Sweet.
I've watched a lot of your videos. They are really helpful, inspiring, and most importantly, realistic. As someone who is looking to start from the bottom, I really appreciate you taking the time to make the videos.
Bill, I love your directness and way you put things.... I needed this... been working at it, nothing solid yet, but I am determined to keep moving forward!!!! I know it is not a sprint! You are awesome, been recommending to you to our new group down here in FL!
Good stuff man! Thank you for your input. I really found it helpful.
Thank you so. much Bill, this was absolutely fantastic. I just recently decided to start looking into this, with little to no direction, and this was exactly the kind of information I need.
I absolutely love this video. Thank you for the great advice🙏🏾
Glad I found this. Needed something to kinda break it down and show me what it's gonna take. Great Video. 👍
Great vid, Bill! I know you did this waaaay back in 2015, but what is good is good and it doesn't change. Thanks!
Bill, you speak so many truths! Thank you!
Great stuff Bill.....I’m beginning to peruse voice over to fill in between weekend announcing. The art of voice is fascinating!
I just have to say Bill, that you have kept me motivated to not only continue my work as a voice over artist but to hone my business/marketing skills as well. Thanks, keep uploading.
After binge watching dozens of voice over advice videos from several channels, this is the first to make me hit all the buttons. Like, share, subscribe, and notification bell.
Thank you Bill for this honest and timely information! I only wish I'd heard the "little to no feedback" point sooner, I would have been better mentally prepared for this journey. =)
Thank you Bill for the encouraging words from your own experiences.
im looking at doing voice overs in the future its not the money its the passion i have to do it..work ethic ect and i hope you can be a great mentor for all of us.A big Thank you.
Thank you for making this video! I gotta face the reality that auditions are a constant showbiz, yet well worth it!
Thank you so much!! You have helped a lot with the mindset to be successful ❤️
Great Video - spot on advise. All of what Bill said is what I've experienced, but I am not deterred. The beauty of voice over work for me is that I am not seen. I will be taking voice lessons to improve myself and learning more about marketing . . . . Great advise Bill, thanks!
You I've heard this about EVERY job in the world. Nowadays, it takes a lot of passion and dedication to be succesful at any job.
Love it. Im an actor looking for any possibilty to work from acting to voice acting to stand up comedy and voice over work seems really facinating and this video gave me a real expectation of what can happen in my journey. So thank you and good job
This video made me even more sure that this is a good line of work for me. Subbed! Thank you for the wisdom!
Very good advice. I've thought about doing this kind of thing. I have the gift of gab. I like using different voices to try to "entertain" fellow employees where I work now. Because of these things I've told you, I've decided to watch this video to help prepare myself for voice over. Thank You.
Thank you so much for this information! I'm just trying to figure out how to get started in this business.
The clarity on how you speak is what I was listening to. I hope I could learn that someday. Im not a native english speaker but i could definitely understand it.
really appreciate this man.. good job for sharing a dose of reality..
Im just starting out and this is kinda what i needed to hear, got burnt out the first time i tried and now im on my second wind, gonna try harder this time to get into an industry ive wanted to be part of for years
I love doing voices. Not just of people, but also of animals. Specifically big cats. I can do a very impressive puma scream and that all started when I was 6 or 7 years old and would have people who knew people I know actually ASK me to do the puma scream. 😂
I can make the scream so convincing, that my uncle one time made me do it in the woods in one of those metal tunnel things and scared the sh!t out of people who were in the woods. I was 16 or 18 years old.
Oh. My. God. That was truly an amazing feeling. Besides going to do voiceovers, I will be doing other passions of mine. 💜
The goal is to never lose that passion, hustle, and not be necessarily in it for the money, and not give up if this truly what you want to do! It is personally what I want to do! 💜
Just found your channel and thinking about trying my hand at voice acting. But wow you’re in the right career. Perfect radio voice 😮
thank you. great advice , and not only for VO.
Hi, Bill! Thank you for this video. This is very helpful.
Great advice which actually applies to every business or even salaried career to some extent.
I share this video with people who ask how to get into the business. So valuable.
You are amazing Bill!! Thanks again!!
This is a great video Bill, thank you for putting this message out there.
I just commented, but here's a big thanks, your videos have been very enlightening as I run down the list; trying to watch as much as possible. So, thank you. Very much.
Thank you from Germany! Another helpful advice!
Your Awesome Bill. Thanks you for heart felt advise. I am one of the lucky ones I guess. I've got a lot of positive feedback regarding my voice.
You are the voice of HOW ITS MADE and you CANNOT tell me otherwise
An honest perspective about the business presented in a calm earnest manner. Thank you.
TY Bill. So appreciate your Tips...very helpful!! :)
Good advice for those of us who are beginners and those of us who are already in the business!
Bill, of all the DeWess Directives I've heard, this is probably the most helpful one I've heard to date. The idea of "marathon' is most helpful and encouraging. I think I have, or can develop, all the things you mentioned, but I honestly think I was expecting too much too soon, and was beginning to experience some burn out. I realize that I need to step back, re-think and re-pace myself on this journey. Can't thank you enough for these particular insights!
+Lemuel Dees Hey Lem...good to hear from you! Yes, set a pace you can sustain. You've got the talent, just keep moving forward.
Bill DeWees Just discovered your channel, Bill. Wonderful, clear, helpful advice. Thank you so much!
I'm on the precipice of starting to do voice over. I'm so glad I stumbled on your channel, it's always nice to have a perspective clarification before starting. Now I'm more resolved then I thought I'd have to be. Humility. Thank you. You have a new subscriber.
Thank you Bill. This was very helpful.
Very helpful! Thank you for sharing this video with the world! 1❤
This was a great video! Thanks! :)
Thank you very much for this video I have been doubling in looking in intrested for some time now I've worked with Jordan rich and ran Ross here in the Boston area of Massachusetts and I am actually looking to speak to someone a agent who worked for Boston casting so looking to get this rocking and rolling thank you for all your help and keep posting Thank you
Thank you sir for your precious advice...❤️
Your voice is so soothing!
Great advice! Just as good now, if not better, than when you first recorded it. Thanks, Bill!
I have wanted to do voice overs for quite some time. I am going to leap into this with both eyes Very wide open and both ears set to elephant mode. I am researching and shopping around for equipment and will be setting up a room in my basement. Your directives have positioned me in the right direction. You will hear from me again.... Thank you sir.
Great job! Thanks for such a great Directive!
I need to to thankk you for this fantastic video!!! Your channel... is also really good....
very good points. Thanks for this.
Thank you for sharing. Very helpful.
Very good info, thanks!
Just like professional actors job! Right Bill? Right. Awesome video very educating Sir!! Bravo!!
Great, informative and very helpful. Thank you for your content. 👍
Very insightful thank you Mr. Dewees.
Instant sub, great voice of reason and wisdom
Great advice for new players Bill. I've been doing V/O's since I was a teenager, but only in the last few years have I made it my full time vocation and that was after over 3 decades in Commercial Radio with Top Rating On-Air Shows in Oz. When you're ready to cut the umbilical chord it can be a very scary thing, but also as you say very rewarding. You can't imagine yourself doing anything else now and I totally get that.
Walter Williams can u give me some pointers in how to begin?
Best advise ever. Was skeptical when I saw this You Tube video title. But dead on. Your advise on the "long haul" and "work ethic" is great.
I feel like a lot of the advice here also applies to a lot of other things in life 👍
Well....I am JUST venturing into the VO world. This is NOT what I wanted to hear...but it's the second time in 2 days I have heard the same thing from seasoned VO talent. HA! I truly appreciate this video. This is the kind of thing that people who take there work seriously need to be reminded of from time to time. Great video!
I've also heard the complete opposite... sooo it goes both ways
Maybe try for yourself first and see.
Thanks so much for your advice.
Thank you for the help sir.
This video is just a boost to my “people think I cannot do it, so I’ll prove them wrong!” mentality 😅 I am very stubborn, when it comes to things, I really want to do in life... a good example; I’m a poor university student, but rn I’m saving up to move to Vancouver (prices are tall there, but my own hometown is worse, so I kinda know what I’m headed for here) 😊
