Locating A Qualified Voice Talent Coach

By Harold Parker


While individuals can often find vocal acting work without training, the best jobs often require at least some level of coaching. As such, to make the most of a career as a voice talent artist, it is often good to have a coach. For, these professionals can provide insight into auditions while finding the highest paying jobs in the business.

In some cases, individuals can complete paid or free webinars and workshops which include training in the industry. Whether learning from a vocal coach, or attending professional classroom or online training, there is often a great deal of upfront costs involved. For, most often the individual will need to pay for a production studio, training and marketing materials.

Once having located a qualified coach, it is important to follow all advice and instructions. For, these individuals often have better insight into what directors are looking for than others. It is also important that those seeking a coach know what area of vocal work one is most interested in becoming involved.

When it comes to voice acting, there are often many different areas of focus. While most artists work in many different areas, others prefer a specific focus. As a result, it is important to understand the difference between different acting styles. For example, when working in the area of commercials, the spotlight is always on the product or service. Whereas, when working in film and television, the artist generally needs to be able to create and portray the voice of a specific character or characters.

Individuals whom are serious about working in the area often need to purchase a home studio, pay for training sessions and marketing materials. As such, while it can be gratifying to eventually make money in the industry, there are also a lot of upfront costs. While this is the case, those doing so can often make more money than someone simply trying to record sessions on a desktop, laptop or tablet.

Individuals working in this area can not take revisions as a personal reflection on the quality of work submitted. As such, it is imperative that individuals working in this field understand that directors, project managers and writers can often change a script at the last minute. A process which can require several revisions unrelated to the quality or style of work previously submitted.

Generally, a project will only require one or two rounds of revisions before being finalized. As such, once the project is complete, the artist is then notified. In some cases, artists work on a number of different projects for different people. Whereas, others work on multiple projects for the same person or studio. Whatever the case, it is essential that the artist always review all audio material before each submission, especially if doing so after revisions.

Ultimately, most individuals obtaining this type work will find some level of success. Although, there are also those whom as much as one might want to work in the field, are just not a good fit. While this is the case, there are other areas of the field in which these individuals might be qualified. As such, just because one might not be successful as a voice actor does not mean that there are not other areas in which the individual might find work in the industry.
