Thank you this is perfectly timed cause my friend got in contact with me recently since they are trying to start up a voice acting/production company 😁
@@Krunq my friends want to create a short animation with me as the voice actor, the issue is they can't animate or draw well 😗 ah well we can still dream
Honestly, I feel like half the lesson in this entire video is to hear how you speak about the topics you cover. You elocute yourself damn-near perfectly in the context in which you speak, which sounds authentic, positive and relaxed. In all of those topics, you display each of those characteristics and I love it. Thank you for this video!
My mom is a classically trained actress and did a lot of theater; she always told me that acting is not faking nor pretending to be someone else, that way the acting comes flat and awful in general, she said that acting is about not only understanding the character you are going to play, but also take the characteristics, development, relationships or quirks and make them yours, connect them to your memories, emotions, memories. For example, if you play a vengeful character, thinking of Hamlet for example (she did a lot of Shakespeare), its not enough to imitate the anger that comes from a treason, grab that husk and fill it with your own emotions, how Hamlet feels plotting his revenge, the layers of hate, towards his uncle, sadness and disappointment, towards his mother, the amount of pity and frustration that he feels for himself, the empty hollow that follows a fulfilled vengeance, understand them, but not imitate, connect them to the emotions you feel mirrors the one of the character, maybe adapt them, take from them, maybe you find another layer of feeling, or a new perspective on the events the character goes through, you could even add to them. Thats why even when the script of Hamlet doesnt change that much, the same events happen in the same order, to the same characters and with the same results, every play can feel so different from the others, thats also why there are characters that you know couldnt be played by another actor, like Iron Man to RDJ, Deadpool to Ryan Reynolds, Chris Pratt to Star lord, Truman to Jim Carrey or Brad Pitt, and by extension Edward Norton, to Tyler Durden, those roles werent played by faking or imitating, they made the characters so theirs that they almost became a synonym of each other, of course these roles were often thought and specially written to be played by those actors, one can easily notice the difference between them and characters written to be played by anyone, sometimes that is reflected by the quality of the writing or the acting itself, and i dont mean that as an insult to the interpretative skills of an actor, a great actor can shine with any character, but there often is a noticeable difference between the two. Thats why a lot of theater courses dont "teach" how to act, but focus instead in the ability of projecting your emotions and learn how to get in touch with them, even if that seems like some weird hippie thing or a scam. For a long time i really didnt understand, or care, that explanation until i developed an interest in voice acting, if i voice a angry character i use MY anger, i dont try to forcefully match the sadness of a scene, i express it through my own, i dont mold my voice to the character, I adapt it to me. (of course there always will be things you need to adapt yourself to like requests or modifications from the person who hired you or aspects of the character that you need to match, in the case of dub, but I think you get the idea) Sorry in advance for any spelling or grammar mistakes, not my first lenguage and high as a kite rn, feel free to correct me if you like.
I find myself in a unique position with a voice audition. I have always had comments on my voice, and Ive been a pretty good mimic since I was a child. I rarely run to research before I attempt things (well at least in the arts) as I usually need to "feel" something before i analyze it, but I am thankful I came across this video. It was truly wonderful and encouraging.
1. Be Authentic 2. Be positive: sound happy by smiling when recording. End every sentence with an upward inflection instead of letting sentences tail off at the end. 3. Be relaxed: Don’t over articulate and work on any tension by doing dexterity exercises. 4. Be prepared by practicing regularly. 5. Never be late.
A question for you: is diaphragmatic breathing required to become successful in voice acting? Out of the people I’ve asked, there seems to be a split where some use the technique and some others don’t
If you don’t use your diaphragm to breathe you will die. So yes you need it for voice acting! I’m making a new video on diaphragmatic breathing atm and posting tomorrow. I’ve also got one or two already on this channel. Check em out! 🙏
The upward inflection we in Australia sometimes do signifies there is more to the story (i.e., there will be another sentence coming) and the last sentence ends normally. The way you demonstrated is actually similar to us.
I looked up voice acting tips out of curiosity, not expecting to subscribe to anyone but this information has been incredibly helpful. I will certainly be back for more. Thank you. And a quick question: do you ever read comments aloud for practice?
Thank you for this wonderfully made video. I am an aspiring voice-over actor, and I have zero experience. I am a video game streamer, and so i use my voice a lot when i communicate on live stream. I have been told or asked even why I am not on the radio or voice acting because i have the "voice" for it. On a few occasions, people have said, " will you record yourself reading a bedtime story? I would play it so that your soothing voice can help me fall asleep" I do not say these things to boast but rather to give you an idea of why I am curious and why I have decided to pursue this further. I am going to subscribe because after watching this video and hearing your tips and advice, you have found not only a brand new follower but a new fan as well. I look forward to learning so much more from you!!!
I'm Italian and I'm studying voice acting in my country but I find interesting to look for tips from people of other countries and omg tailing off the ends of the sentences is my main technical problem! My teachers keep telling me that and it's an habit that I find hard to get rid off
Thank you for those wonderful tips. I've been singing, pretty much my whole life. I've always been fascinated with voice acting, even since I was a little boy. I would memorize entire movies just so that I could speak the lines along with the various characters in those films. I don't currently have a good space for recording, but I am in the process of moving to a place where I will be able to have the space needed to get into voice over work. I have a decent computer that can handle a multitude of various creative suites, from Video game development software to music editing software. I just need a decent enough microphone and mic stand. So, needless to say, I will be watching more of your videos, especially when I am ready to start up.
Thank you for confirming what I've said to people in the past who looked at me like I'm insane. I can hear a smile. And it's not context, I can actually hear it. I know it's not context because sometimes people are smiling when saying things that aren't necessarily funny or happy.
l am in the first 50 seconds and im calling it right now he is using all his voice acting tricks in the intro and is going to reference them latter in the video
Thanks for the specific advice. I was having a hard time finding some. Funny thing when I over articulate, I start to sound British. It makes no sense, ha. I can't turn it off.
I seriously need an opinion on the voice acting I did for my animation! I'm completely new at this, and am going to use allot more of it, I need any help I can get! How can I be authentic with several characters at once that each needs to have their own unique voice? Making them different from each other while making them interact with each other is rather complex, but, that's the situation I am in 😩 Positivity is easy, I am having fun doing the voices, haven't ever thought on actively smiling during it though! Dexterity drills sounds useful! I noticed that I had trouble controlling my voice with the more difficult type of voices! Reading aloud sounds like a great idea! I'll try it!
I’m planning on voice acting my own OC (the character in my profile picture-) and I’ve been able to do voice acting pretty well,but I’m always looking for tips. :) I haven’t actually published any of my voice acting,but when I’m alone, I like to voice act or do impressions of other characters. XD
It’s about taking action. Those who pretend are known as “bad actors”. Be careful of such definitions because it can lead you away from the reality of the job!
@@vocabilities People like you are the bad actors, buddy. Most characters worth anything are going to be unrealistic, so in order to be believable, the actor can't be "real," or whatever. There's a reason the phrase "getting into character" exists. I've seen the kind of performances you "taking action" types give, and the fact that any of you have ever gotten work is a travesty.
I have trouble with the acting portion more than the voices. I dont know what to do in certain situations so i always resort to saying the same line over and over.
Okay this is pretty good info... Currently trying to make a movie and yes i think its a very bad time to make a movie as a very very VERY small content creator and the thing is that im not giving up, no matter if i got into this on accident (part ways true) or not but im still gonna make it... not sure how good its gonna be but Voice acting will be one of em and since im in this project alone im gonna have to use Voice changers and all sorts of things like that, or...go out on the street and ask people but im pretty socially akward so maybe not... and yes if i work hard and get the right pitch and tone then im sure i can deliver some good lines
I should have seen this video long time back. Thanks, it helps me and hopefully I will try todo as you say but I could not properly understand what you said about uplifting voice in the end!!! that part is a mystery to me. I know I have a trailing end at the end of my sentence but how do I do the uplifting?
oh yeah i got a question i saw your "How to deepen your voice" video and it worked but it only works when I'm home but whenever i go outside or talk to someone my voice gets soft or not deep anymore is it because I'm scared or something if there's a fix to it I'll gladly appreciate it
@@marynassuna3792 I'm 20 years old and it's torture having a deep voice people can barely hear you speak even if you're talking loudly and the amount a voice cracks you will have along the way is utter chaos
I'm the only person I know in my entire town who smiles every day all day. People actually think I'm a pretentious asshole because I constantly have something happy on my mind. Woe unto he who places darkness for light and light for darkness.
"Talk to the micropphone as if it is actually a person." This is why i put up a cardboard cut out of someone in my sound booth to deliver my liines to. :P
