(Paid Role)

Looking for a voice actor for a creepy/scary anonymous phone call for a school film project.

Need someone who can do a calm unsettling voice. Deep voice preferred but not required.

$20 USD per call
Calls are around 2 minutes each
Will most likely only need one call total

DM me if interested or if you want more details.

If you’re serious about booking paid voiceover work or getting on a talent agency roster, a professional demo isn’t optional. It’s your audio calling card. It’s often the first thing a producer, casting director, or agent hears before deciding whether you’re worth a closer listen.

But here’s the part a lot of people miss: your best performances need to be at the very beginning of the demo. Not buried at the 43-second mark. Not waiting patiently behind the “pretty good” read. Right up front.

Clients are busy. Agents are busy. Producers are busy. They are not sitting there with a cup of coffee saying, “I bet this gets really good in another 30 seconds.” Nope. You need to grab them quickly and show them what you can do right away.

And please, for the love of clean audio, don’t try to produce your own demo unless you have years of audio engineering experience. A demo is not just a bunch of scripts recorded in your closet with some royalty-free music slapped underneath. It needs direction, variety, pacing, editing, mixing, and a smart strategy behind it.

Even if you do have audio engineering experience, it’s still incredibly helpful to have another professional guiding the way. Fresh ears matter. Direction matters. Objectivity matters.

Your demo should not just sound “fine.” It should sound competitive, polished, and marketable. Because if you want professional results, you need a professional demo.

I've been eyeballing indie projects for a while on castingcallclub and there's been a couple that have caught my eye, but I've also noticed a lot of fan dubs and minecraft/Roblox voiceovers that have also caught my eye. My question is, should i stick to those more indie works (animations, pilots, video games) or should i just start auditioning for anything that needs voice acting work that sounds like it might be fun? I don't know if this is a dumb question or not but I am genuinely curious about your input. Thank you!

For reference I've auditioned for a couple of projects and I've been practicing and watching videos for about a year so I'm still pretty green and inexperienced.

I like to narrate excerpts from books from time to time, but I've never figured out this one. I really dislike screaming and I figure the other people in my house would as well so I thought I'd ask and see if there're any techniques that achieve this effect. Thanks!!!

How do I find good jobs that look good to use in a demo and find an agent? I know they want talent who can get work but Casting Call Club is the only place I can try out for stuff remotely. I don't know if Backstage is trustworthy as you have to pay to join and that seems sketchy. I feel a bit lost. Any help would be good. In the mean time I'll keep using C C C for any role I can do.

I dont have any acting classes or improv classes near me that fit with my work schedule. Do you know of any good classes or videos on YouTube that would be great to watch?

I have met several voice actors all the the cons I have went to, and the three kindest voice actors that stand out the most were Rob Paulsen, Marty Grabstien and Justin Briner.

I met both Rob Paulsen (Yakko from Animanics) and Marty Grabstien (Courage The Cowardly Dog) and the same convention and told both of them (at different times lol) that I have autism and serve depression all of my life and how they roles mean a lot of to me. Marty told me that one of his sons is a non verbal autistic and tries to learn more about mental health since it wasn’t a common thing when Courage The Cowardly Dog first aired on Cartoon Network, and Rob told me that it brings him so much joy to do all the voices he does, especially now have beating stage III throat cancer (Read his book: Voice Lessons, it’s really good.) and told me that he admired me for waiting over an hour in his line to meet him and how it made his entire weekend. After getting a picture with him. He told me I was a great kid and to make sure I never give up with having such a great support system.

I met Marty again a year later at a different convention, and he remembered me. The first time I met him was right before he had his stroke and the second time I met him, he’s speech is pretty much at 90%. I told him that I really admired how he came back to doing conventions not long after he had his stroke. He told me it was minor with no damage to him expect his speech (which is temporary) I then asked him for a hug because he loves to give hugs to people he met a conventions. (The man gives the best hugs ever)

I met Justin Briner (Deku from My Hero Academia) and told him the same thing to Marty and Rob about having autism and depression, but told him that Deku is one of my favorite anime characters of all time and really enjoyed the development Deku goes through each season. He then asked me if I was excited for the final season. (I met him right before the final season of MHA came out) I told him I’m beyond excited, he told me if Deku means a lot to me, than I will really like how he is in the final season. (I cried my eyes out)

Those are the stories of the kindest voice actors I have ever. Who are the kindest voice actors you ever met, and what’s the story behind it?

Hey everyone. I got hired for a session, and while doing the first few read throughs, they said they weren’t getting what they needed and will go with someone else. They said they liked what they heard on my demo, but weren’t hearing it in their script. I took their direction and really tried to give them what they were asking. I’m trying to understand that this can happen sometimes, but I still feel so crushed and like I did something wrong. Any advice or encouragement?

Sincerely, trying to not fake it til I make it..

When I record longer audio files, I sometimes notice that my voice or the overall quality changes throughout the recording. I’d like the tone, energy, and sound to stay more consistent from beginning to end.

I’ve noticed that I record best when I’m in a very specific mental “flow” or mindset. I tried taking short breaks, but often it takes me around 10 minutes to get back into that state again.

Do you have any advice for maintaining a consistent voice, energy, and recording quality during long sessions? Are there techniques or habits that help you stay in the same mindset and vocal space for longer periods?

And when the dust settled... the Prophet stood over the dead bodies of the enemy leaders — and started speaking to them. One by one. They couldn't answer. But he kept talking"

Hi all! Like the title says I’m looking into voice acting after around five years of working with radio stations. looking for a thing a little more creative and have always wanted to do it.

Interviews,news, ads, music shows you name it. Been feeling a little boxed in by my current gig and thinking about using any time I got to experiment in VO.

Only hiccup is I am super unfamiliar with the professional VO world (though the pinned websites have been extremely helpful so far) and how it’s different from someone like me talking on a single station or network.

Anybody that’s done a similar move? Any tips/things to look out for would be a huge help!

Hi, I’m sure this has probably come up before, but I couldn’t find it. I am just getting my gear together and I’m looking for a stable safe alternative to audacity — I greatly appreciate all thoughts.

Hi, I hope this post is not against the rules, but I'm trying to find out if there are any voice acting/voiceover classes that are available on the weekend? Due to having a full-time job, I'm not able to take classes on the weekdays and in-person. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Very new to this and looking for some general feedback on my recording.

Firstly on audio quality - I don't have a perfect setup by any means, but I have tried to treat my space to the best of my (current) ability. I don't have a trained ear for this kind of thing, so is it clear/decent quality?

Secondly is my voice. What should I describe it as other than "30 year old male, North American"? Or is that enough of a description for most employers?

Any feedback is appreciated - thanks <3

Hey community, I need some advice and support please. Or maybe I just need to scream into the void?

I'm a SAG VO actor with an incredible agent, I'm very grateful to be with. Since joining the union, I haven't booked a single thing.

My coach says I'm doing everything right and to keep doing what I'm doing. I know it's extremely competitive but is there anything can I do?

I don't intend to quit as this really is my calling and I love it so much. Would love to hear your stories and PoV.

Cheers!
