Unless the scene clearly calls for an outward display of a particular emotion—sadness, pleading, joy—I’ve finding that most men, especially in typically masculine roles, project their voices in often low, sometimes whispery tones and there’s minimal inflection or lilt. As an amateur male actor who thought I need to exp…

Suppose I needed to book some actors for the following specific shoots. It was a video shoot, but the entire shoot would feature a single actor monologuing into the camera. The camera(s) would not move nor would the lighting. There would be nothing to adjust or slow the shoot down. There would only be one actor on the…

So I'm a VA who has only recorded for video games and animation. It's occurred to me recently that if I want an agent, I need a commercial reel. I've listened to many different commercial reels on agency sites but every actor seems to have a reel made up of reads for big brand spots. My question is this: if you haven't…

I’ve listened to so many comparisons on YouTube but I still just can’t decide, the u87 seems to be the highest end for voice over and basically can be the end game mic for my career, but so many professional voice actors who I am friends with choose the TLM 103.
