I took acting classes some years ago. (Absolute bliss btw. If Hollywood wasn't the corrupt monster it truly is, I would be in Hollywood now.) But my acting coach at the audition for who to take and teach had this to say; "looks don't always make an actor rich. Look at Danny De Vito. He ain't pretty. But that man has made a LOT of money." That was honestly inspirational for me.
I appreciate this video so much. I've thought about getting into voice acting for about a year now but always stopped myself. This is the year I take that first step. Thank you.
Don't be too hard on yourself! My very first demo that I put together I made because I was trying to apply for the LA Opera's Young Artist Program. I had zero confidence, mainly because the performances were highly edited, I thought I was horrible, etc. . But, I wasn't too bad, apparently, because they called me in for a live audition based on that demo! As bad as you think it is, it's probably not going to be as bad, as long as you let your talent and training shine through. Ask for outside, less negatively biased opinions before you finalize and send it out. Good luck with your demo! 😁👍
I'm just starting my voice over journey. Have 3 gigs on fiverr, under my belt, and got good reviews. Really enjoy doing it. Would love to make it in this industry.
I been looking into VO, one piece of gear you want to invest in is called an audio preamplifier/ processor, preferably one that has the “Desser” feature built in. I had no clue what “Desser” meant but I was listening to a podcast and when they talked, the “S” was so sharp, it hurt my ears. I believe the Desser (or a similar feature) helps correct the sound.
I appreciate this information so much because so many people act so secretive when it comes to voice acting. Where they really just don't give a solid lick of information. 😅I do music too and it's the same thing when it comes to getting session work they give you this well you gotta know someone to know someone type of thing, with nothing else. I joined a Facebook group because someone told me to and all it was was just people sharing the fact they're voice actors. Like I couldn't even get this information while in school for Audio Engineering. 🤣
Wow! Thank you! Just started substitute teaching and the first thing i hear from students, especially midlle and high schioolers is "Why arent you doing video games with that voice." My nephews pushed me for a year and this video pushed me off the cliff! Thank You
I have always been the person who backs down at a challenge. But what you said at the end of the video, that was the first time I've ever been excited to take on a challenge. Game on 😈
I've always wanted to be a voice actor I've always done impressions when I was younger and I also sing. This video was extremely helpful and I can't wait to start the journey!
Sorry I’m stupid-late, also I paused at 0:20 , but my dear god man. Your voice. Why does it feel like I’ve been put on a skillet with like half-a-stick of butter, and I’m just some steak just like… cookin’ in this warm, almost velvety, voice? My man, you have been BLESSED with the deep bass of the Gods, and with the articulation of a man who knows what he’s saying. Watching with fervor, may I learn something great today.
Good lord, if there was ever the perfect voice for voicover work it has to be yours and thanks for all the info, as a person who really wants to get into this field, this was insanely helpful. Cheers
Thank you for this video, all year I thought about voice acting and how hard the journey would be. Now I’m more motivated than ever to take my first step and I’m not gonna stop there!
Thank you! This is a gem of a video. You gave such honest, helpful, and structured advice. Most advice videos seem too either just give the first steps or follow the half hearted influencer template. Explaining the industry and the actual process m a de your video exemplary.
Hey man, I genuinely appreciate you for what you do. Your content makes a hard day not so fuckin hard. Workin 12 hrs a day and 6 days a week in the Vegas weather isn’t easy but your videos help.. so thank you for al you do.
Gotta say, saw your video on Facebook. Took your advice and im now in the steps of learning and pursuing Voice Over work! Thanks so much for the insight! And I agree it's gonna take time and money lol but this is an investment on myself so I'm ready to hunker down
Thanks so much for uploading this. I've been wanting to get into voice acting/acting for years but procrastinating. Now, at least, I have a reference for taking the 1st steps.
So good and so very helpful. I'm returning to Voice work and have begun to audition after several years off. I work for ACX primarily as a Narrator. Also, Up work in the past, Voice123 and Fiverr. I've had to review and refresh the production process!! TY so much!!
I like how this is a serious guide as how to start out as well as proceed through the voice acting profession, but then there's also the unedited bits that are just hilarious. "Oh good, it went off. Thank God. So that is pretty much the bare-- but why did it go off??" LOVE IT
This is one of my favorite videos and there are several voice artists I follow and admire, but you have shared some very real topics that many leave unspoken. Thank.
Im a freshman in highschool and ive been told alot that I have a deep and soothing voice. Ive been recommended to do voice acting more times than I can count so Im wanting to give it a try as it seems fun and interesting. If i learn how i believe I can do pretty well at it. But the point is thanks alot for the video it helped and love you voice.
As someone who's interested in voice acting/voice over work, particularly as something to do in case I can't go for my current plan but also love playing with voices, I really appreciate all of this advice so I don't screw myself over, thank you so so much for all this information
man i just happened to find this video after a customer told me i have a great voice and should look into training for voice acting. i can tell you that that was NEVER EVER in my purview lol. Great info and presentation. Thank you for this. It's funny cause i drive my wife crazy at home just doing accents and odd voices here and there. I can't imagine doing that and getting paid (possibly but not very likely) to do what i do to annoy her! 🤣 Thanks again for this.
My plan is to record as many demos as possible from websites that give you a short script and upload it to UA-cam shorts in TikTok and Instagram reels I’m not looking to make loads of money. I’m just looking to get my voice out there. And I think the best way is to try as much content and variety as possible until I find out what I’m good at.
THANK YOU so so much!!! This is the most informative video I’ve seen YET. I’m starting from ground zero (only done Voice Overs for UA-cam vids) but I’m ready and willing to take the first step.
I found my way here because a slew of people like my natural tone and singing voice. And now a slew of.the same folk think voice acting is for me and I am film nerd. Wish I thought of this years ago lmao. Your voice is so distinct !! Thanks for these tips ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing tips, Sir! I was actually motivated to become a voice actor. I'm interested to what may this voice acting change my present plans in the future, because I have numerous hobbies that I want to pursue as my career when I grew up and graduate in college. I want to try new things so that when I pursue them all, I will have a lot of experiences. I also need to earn money so that I can help my family with our daily needs in life. It's quite scary but, I'll do it for my family and for me. So this is really helpful, thank you so much again!☺️💛
What an AWESOME video! Thank you! I've done some stage acting, locally AND some stand-up, again, locally. Puyallup, WA and Tacoma, WA respectfully. This helps me realize that there is STILL hope!
I feel that vigor you speak about at the end of the video. I have butterflies, anxiety and a deep beautiful voice as I write this. I'm 31 and don't want to work factory Jobs anymore. I am ready sir thank you
lol. My daughter is 11 has a lisp but I think it gives character❤. I may start kids vo submissions for her. 1 may be pending, she has a vocal coach for singing so hopefully that helps. You ain’t lying about by the time you submit it’s late. Happened to me for my daughter. I responded to a casting text 2mins and was told they already placed a kid 🤦🏽♀️. Love your audio sound.
I'm so happy when I was trying to find out about this industry you popped up. They way you're explaining is awesome and simple. I feel like I got a general plan, thank you😁😁
Thank you for the information, Mr. Johnson, I appreciate it so much. You wouldn't know me at all, we've spoken before via messages on Instagram, huge fan of your work. Honestly, your voice is o fantastic, that I never noticed the lisp until you mentioned it.
Thank you so much for sharing! Have been wanting to voice over since 1999, in Highschool. So enlightening and I hope to pursue this with insight via, insightful videos such as yours! 💙🖤💜
Great video, Stefan! As someone who has one of their potential career paths as voice acting, everything you said in this video was very helpful of everything that goes into this industry! I would love to see you make a video about your own experience/journey as a voice actor just to see everything that you went through to get to where you are now!
Great video Stefan and nice new studio setup! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience and help motivate others! Also, FWIW @15:30 I've never noticed that you had any kind of speech impediment. Keep being you!
Honestly, I make music. I'm a rock/punk/blues frontman, songwriter, producer, etc. That's my main grind. But I've got the most accursed bass/bass-baritone cartoon villain voice, I'm already set up with a home studio, my schedule is busy but flexible, and I could use some pocket change. Compared to running a band, this is really not all that much work, especially if you aren't trying to make it a full-time career. So I'm considering just getting one of those cattle-call subscriptions and throwing auditions out every so often. Small jobs, nothing major, just for fun. Stuff I can pull on short notice, deliver quickly for the satisfaction of contributing, and then let the rest of the project be someone else's problem. I figure if it takes too much out of me or I don't land any work, I can always bench the idea, cry, and move on with no real harm done.
Thanks, I've just set up my home studio and was debating on whether to invest in a professionally produced demo or not. I'm definitely taking your advice. Your video was the confirmation I needed.
I believe that confidence and natural ability play a significant role. If you're starting out in voiceover with no actual ability to sound a certain way or do a wide range of voices, then you will definitely have a more difficult path. It's not ego talking here, just fact. If you love it, believe it and see it, you WILL receive it. Hard work always trumps talent, but if you combine a strong work ethic with persistence, an understanding of the business, and natural ability, how are you NOT successful? I'm new to your channel and have been procrastinating voiceover for too long. I blame myself first and my job second. For me, I believe the transition from per-diem nurse to full-time voice talent will be one of the hardest yet rewarding things I've done in my life other than being a lifelong Seattle Mariners fan. Thank you, Mr. Johnson, for your effort and contribution. 🫡
Thank you for this video. I’ve always been told by family and friends I’d be good at voice acting but starting seems intimidating so I told myself I can’t do it. Maybe this year I’ll get started
thank you for this video its been so helpful! could you possibly do another video on the demo reel and what you want it to sound like and how to choose someone to help you with it
I'm getting into all this because I finally have the ability to do so but I hear from other experts that it's okay to produce your own demo. I've heard evenly from both sides it's okay and not okay. I looked into professional work for it, but they are very expensive. I already have acting abilities now I'm just learning the audio abilities. I don't wanna set myself up for failure
Hey reaching out to learn and hear all ur advice into getting Iinto voice acting all my life everyone tells me my unique voice should be on movies radio and more want the train invest and so I watched this and hitting the internet on finding they best way to learn and go for it ty
Love that you did this video. I started my VO journey earlier this year with training at Atlanta Voiceover Studio (starting another class next week). Hope to connect with you at VO Atlanta in March!
Thank you so much for the part about not recording your own demo too hastily. I am in the more “education” phase of my VA journey and I’m actively trying to avoid putting out the most cringe shit imaginable lmao 😭
Is that your recording space? Can you make a video showing your space and how it is treated? I struggle with keeping out sounds from planes flying overhead and traffic especially.
ive always wanted to go into voice over acting so badly for years, even when i was little. Ive always adored the idea of bringing a character to life with my voice, but ive always been told that "its too competitive" "you need to know the right people in order to get anywhere" and that it was simply too much for me. I want to know how i can get started as a 19 year old and land my first amaetur role.
I want to get into the business. I have a great voice. I am a good singer musician, a good performer. I even have a little bit of editing skill but I'll hire somebody for that per your advice. The reason why I think you're an excellent voice actor. It's because the video ended and I wasn't done listening to you and I hope I have the benefit of being that someday
That closing statement, about how there is a place for everyone and every voice out there, truly motivational. Thank you for the video 🔥
VIKING?
@@MikaIsLost yeah I’m going to get into voice acting lol
W goodluck

Did it?
Same here and I am going all in on this new voice over journey
How was it buddy ?
so did you make it
As someone who was preparing to botch their first demo, thank you for making this 😭
Don't be too hard on yourself! My very first demo that I put together I made because I was trying to apply for the LA Opera's Young Artist Program.

Me too lmao. 😭 I hope your VA journey is still going well though 💕
I've never been good at anything in my life but mimicing voices. Thanks for telling me how I can become better
I'm just starting my voice over journey. Have 3 gigs on fiverr, under my belt, and got good reviews. Really enjoy doing it. Would love to make it in this industry.
What type of gigs did you get in Fiver?
Wow, voice acting is a SERIOUS hustle!
Its crazy because I can physically see his lisp, but I cant hear it. He definitely has trained himself to correct it!! Nice.

Ok, you had me laughing! I like the way you laid out what's important to focus on when beginning voice acting. 🙏🏾 Sub here.

Honestly, I make music. I'm a rock/punk/blues frontman, songwriter, producer, etc. That's my main grind. But I've got the most accursed bass/bass-baritone cartoon villain voice, I'm already set up with a home studio, my schedule is busy but flexible, and I could use some pocket change. Compared to running a band, this is really not all that much work, especially if you aren't trying to make it a full-time career. So I'm considering just getting one of those cattle-call subscriptions and throwing auditions out every so often. Small jobs, nothing major, just for fun. Stuff I can pull on short notice, deliver quickly for the satisfaction of contributing, and then let the rest of the project be someone else's problem. I figure if it takes too much out of me or I don't land any work, I can always bench the idea, cry, and move on with no real harm done.
