Hello all! 

I have always been interested in doing voice acting, but it seems really difficult to get into. I have a quite strange voice which I have been told sounds similar to some cartoon characters, mostly Dendy from OK K.O who is played by Melissa Fahn. I'm capable of doing a wide range of voices, but I'm more so comfortable with upbeat characters. I am uploading a demonstration video to Youtube as I type this too! Any idea where to look/post about this??? I would really love to not only get my talents (and voice) out there but also help out some fellow game developers in the process. 

❤️ Thank you for reading  ❤️ 

The way to get voice acting jobs in games is to have a resume of professional voice acting in film, TV, whatever. What voice acting work have you done professionally? A lot of companies probably also expect you to be a member of SAG/AFTRA, the actors union.

So far I've done no acting outside of my own personal endeavors. This is really good to know though, I'll check into that asap  

Also, you have to live near where the recording is done. What city are you in?

I'm in Charlotte NC. I do have professional recording equipment from when I was making music though. 

Your home studio is not good enough. There are some game companies in the Research Triangle area; see https://gamedevmap.com/

Seems the closest place to me is Atomic Games  I think I might have better luck starting out with indie games given my lack of an extensive portfolio. Thank you for being so helpful ❤️ 

Or move to Hollywood. You're welcome.

It's more specifically aimed at composers and sound designers, but our Music & Sound moderator has been sharing vlogs with advise and some of his experiences in the industry, and I think a lot of it will also be helpful for a voice artist:
