Thank you so much for posting this. I learned a few wonderful things. I do have one complaint. Wouldn't it have made more sense for this webinar to have been recorded in a recording booth using professional equipment as opposed to a telephone?

Again, thank you for posting this!

I doubt however Youtube would be as good and helpful as an actual coach. ??

I do good voices.

[mormanwarrior]

and you can learn all that on you tube if you look it up

[mormanwarrior]

yes its good to lay down a firm foundation by going to a vocal coach who will teach you how to use youre diaphragm and correct breathing and contorl and all the Fundamental basics needed for voice acting

[DeepCrimson]

really...? So, if I took singing classes, could I improve the voice acting??

[lostabyss]

me and some friends will start redubbing shaman king as a parody. (if i could get my video editor to work *rage!*) and my friend said i sounded like a good VA in a few clips hehe ^^. at first i thought it was kinda hard to speak like normal or acting into a computer instead of a crowd or to people. so this will be fun practice!

[DeepCrimson]

It can get frustrating when you cannot get your voice to sound the way you want it to sound, so it really depends on your drive and building of talent as well as an understanding of the market, but definitely a lot of resilience. Good Luck either way on finding what suits you in life. And that goes for me, too.

It's like that for a lot of people. But while it may be obvious, voice acting is purely ACTING. We can learn to speak and do presentations in front of crowds, but we need the talent and flexibility to ACT overall if you and I are going to learn to act with the VOICE.
