Locating A Qualified Voice Talent Coach

By Harold Parker


While most often, individuals interested in film and television want to become actors, directors and writers, others desire to become vocal artists. For these individuals, there is more than one way to become involved with projects that require voice talent. For example, an individual can acquire a vocal acting coach, attend classroom or online training.

In most cases, these professionals have had several years of training before becoming qualified to work as a coach. There are other ways of getting into the business. However, while there are a number of professional webinars and workshops, those with a coach often get the best work.

Once having obtained a coach, it is important to listen to any advice provided. In addition to professional coaching, there are also webinars and workshops which can be quite helpful to those staring out in the field. As such, it is also important to know what specific area one is most interested in providing voice over work.

As with theater arts in general, there are a number of areas of focus when it comes to vocal work. These can include, commercials, public service announcements as well as work in film and television. As each has its own style, it is important to know which area one desires to work in before acquiring a coach or attending a focused or generalized training program.

While it can be quite gratifying to make money in this area, one must understand the costs in becoming involved. For example, training, professional recording equipment and marketing do not come cheap. In addition, it is a field in which last minute revisions and emergencies can often require the individual to be on-call twenty four seven. In most cases, projects will require at least one or more revisions, regardless of the quality of the work.

The industry is also a volatile one, especially for those whom are easily offended. For, while there may a number of revisions required during the course of a project, artists can not take the revisions personally or as a reflection of the quality of work. There are often times when scripts are revised, thus needing revision of previous vocal tracks. If a director, writer or project manager does return work based on quality issues, it is important to acknowledge how the work can be made better in the future.

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.
