Discovering Different Roles Of A Voice Artist

By Jerry Wood


Those working in the vocal arts are some of the most talented people working in film, radio and television. In addition, there are other individuals whom consider oneself to be a voice artist. Some of these individuals are DJs, spoken word artists, poetry slam hosts and MCs. In all cases, those wishing to find work in this field need speak, as if writing, with good grammar and a clear voice.

In most cases, those working in radio are often referred to as voice actors. However, some MCs working in television now also refer to oneself in this way. For example, some might consider show hosts such as Julie Chin, Jeff Probst and Ryan Seacrest to be actors in this realm.

As DJs most often perform for a live radio audience, any material read on-air during a shift is often considered to be considered part of the vocal arts. Whereas, any pre-programmed commercials, public service announcements or other material played versus read is simply part of the show. In either case, the content itself is related in one way or another to those working in this field.

The term DJ now focuses on two aspects of the field. The first being the traditional disc jockey who works at a radio station. The second, being someone whom plays, spins and scratches music at festivals and nightclubs. While the latter remains extremely popular, many traditional DJs have lost work due to the creation of i-pods and CD players.

The field is quite competitive though individuals interested in this work can often find an outlet. For example, another aspect of this work is that of a MC. A MC is someone who makes announcements and introduces artists at music festivals and other events. In fact, many individuals develop a career in this area. For, MCs are often needed at parties, wedding receptions and other events.

In all areas, individuals will most likely find some aspect of this type work. Whether working in radio, film or television. Although, the most opportunities are going to be found in areas where radio stations, film studios and television productions exist. When looking online, jobs can be found through a number of different websites with one of the best being Voices dot com.

Poetry reading and slam hosts are also considered to be working in this field. In addition, sites like E-poets out of Chicago feature poets reading live on-air. As such, these individuals while often referred to as spoken word artists are also considered to reside under the larger umbrella of vocal arts.

Ultimately, the best jobs are going to be found in areas in which film is at the forefront such as Austin, Hollywood and the Northern coast of California. While this is the case, there are also a number companies who hire vocal artists to do online work. In these cases, individuals must often read from a script into a mp3 file, then forward the file to a talent scout.
