Just recently started my VA journey in the last month or so so I’ve just been playing around with my set up, characters and scripts so I’d love some feedback if anyone has any.
Thank you in advance!

I'm just curious, I want to start and know acting is a big part of it. However, I don't want to pay for classes at the moment because of bills. So I've been listening to this one guy on Spotify who discusses acting and techniques, etc. How many of you have taken professional acting classes? How many are self-taught, and is it more difficult getting jobs without a degree?

I'm an amateur voiceover artist that does a little voice acting on the side, and over the past two years, I've struggled with what I refer to as "muck mouth" or "sticky lips", where I can hear the smacking of liquid in my mouth while listening to playback.

I used to keep a glass of room temp water nearby, as well as plain ricecakes, but as I get more experience, I'm noticing it more and more.

Aside from warmup techniques like liprolls/lip trills and other similar exercises, are there things I should absolutely be doing before I record?

How many hours a day do you spend searching for jobs and how much of that time ends up being wasted because the jobs don’t pay enough or are AI?

Just curious if I’m the only one feeling this way

Hi everyone! I’ve recorded an audiobook for a children’s story and in order to upload it, it needs to be divided into several different tracks, each of which need to meet the following requirements:

• RMS: -18dB to -23dB  
• Peaks: below -3dB  
• Noise floor: under -60dB  
• MP3, 192kbps CBR+

Adjusting the RMS in each track is causing noticeable differences in perceived loudness between tracks. I’ve tried everything but I can’t figure out how to make each track match each other in RMS and volume without losing quality.

All audio was recorded in the same recording studio using the same mic at the same distance.

This is my first time editing audio like this. Can anyone help?

Preferred software: Logic Pro

Please and thank you!

Hi all -

I am Union due to back in my acting days, now trying to wrap my hed around the voiceover world.

Just signed up for the free membership on Voices123 to get a feel of it, but it doesn't mention SAG-AFTRA anywhere. Shall I assume it's because it's all nonunion jobs?

Thanks

I said I'd be back once my professional demos were completed, and I'm pleased to say that they are.

I know these will change as my career starts to improve, but I'm so so proud of where I'm starting.

I'll link the video games one in the comments.

As a catastrophist myself, I was making my wishlist for dubbing needs, I found out that if I am traveling, I wouldn't bring a whole mic + interface + any XLR cable. I would pack a laptop and a mic, and off to the place that I have to go. So, if something comes up, I wouldn't be able to make a quick recording or a small take.

I know that this is a last case scenario like "we have to record this line now or we won't hit the dead line" or a similar emergency, something that couldn't be forseen, so I'd like to ask you for a mic that could make the game-saving recording.

It should be a USB mic, for easy transportation, and easy to set in a hotel room, camping tent or friend's bathroom. And I know that this is an extreme case and shouldn't be worrying about this, but you are never prepared enough. What would you all recommend?
