Thank you so much for such a nice note! I’m delighted to know that I may have helped you move toward your dream.

You asked a great question! Like you, I knew in the 5th grade that I wanted to be a voice talent. I didn’t attend any acting classes in high school or college. However, I did take numerous public speaking classes, first in high school and then as a journalism major in college. All of those classes were very helpful.

Once I decided to start my voice-over business, I took a workshop with a voice-over coach. I continue to take classes and do workshops as I progress in the field. Also, know that each kind of voice-over work requires a different performance style. For instance, I went to an audiobook narration workshop in the fall.

You can see the list on this page of my site:

I have often thought about taking some acting and improv classes. You see, you never get too old to outgrow a need for more knowledge and a way to improve your skills! 🙂

In short, I think any class you take will help you in your career. If I had the chance to go back to your age, I’d definitely take all of the acting and speech classes in school that I could.

I hope these thoughts help. Best wishes for your success and happiness in all that you do!

Karen

I’m in Grade.7 and I’m working REALLY hard to become a voice-actor, your article helped A LOT. Thank you SO much! (Gonna start flipping through the books now.)
But just curious, (and you don’t have to answer this if you don’t feel comfortable.) did you attend an acting school? If you did, did it help you in your career?
Thank you again for this, and have a nice day!

Sincerely, Sharon

Thanks so much for the nice comment. I apologize for the extreme delay in posting and replying to it. I’ve been chin-deep in audiobook production, with 2 books due next week! (gasp!)

I’m so happy to know that something I have written has helped you. Patience and persistence are the keys you’ll need along the way. Just keep taking those steps forward and stay focused on the end outcome that you want. It will all be worth it!

Best wishes for your continued health, prosperity, and SUCCESS!

I’m glad you found the book suggestion to be helpful. You can spend a small amount of time and money to learn a great deal about an industry by reading a book about it. With the knowledge you gain, you’re in a better position to decide whether voiceover represents a good career choice for you.

Best wishes for your success!

Don’t know why but love to hear the different voices. I just have not a clue where to start so I’m going to do as your blog says and start with a book!
