Actors perform in a wide range of venues including in film, on stage, on television, as amusement park characters and event guests, just to name a few. Some are even able to make a good living acting utilizing only their vocal talents. Voiceover services are utilized in a lot of different ways though the average person rarely realizes it.

These artists use the power of their voices to breathe life into characters or stories. They are used for such purposes as cartoons and animated films; advertisements for television, movie trailers, radio, and internet; even video games and loudspeaker announcements. There are endless possibilities for how the talents of this type of actors might be utilized.

While there is plenty of work to be had in this field, it can be a little challenging for interested individuals to get their foot in the door to become a voice artist. These types of performance involve way more than just singing or speaking into a microphone. These actor must be capable of doing all that physical performers do but need to command audience attention with their voice.

When deciding to get started in the field of voice work, the first thing one might consider doing is taking vocal lessons with a qualified instructor. Most might think their voice is fine as it is but knowing how to control one's breathing, tone, and pitch, can be quite useful when needing to speak long dialog with specific demands. Coaching is also a very effective way to learn other tricks of the trade.

There are times when vocal artists will have specific requirements for a job. This might mean something like using certain accents to portray one or more characters, creating a voice especially for a role, or emoting effectively enough to sell the scene. Improving skills in these essential areas are just some of the benefits reaped from proper coaching.

After some training, the next step would be to go to a studio and have a professional demo tape made. These are left at every audition and mailed to advertising and casting companies in introduction packages, throughout their target region. Agents will utilize these to help decide who to cast for a role or to call back.

The competition in the field is quite stiff, so it is important that actors continue to work on their talents, update their dossier, and be diligent on submitting their introduction packages. It also does not hurt to occasionally call everyone who was sent a package just to touch base and keep their name fresh on the list. Being flexible and capable of adapting to the demands of the current culture, will be a valuable advantage.

A lot of fun and versatility can be found working as a vocal artist, though one needs to be aware that having a good voice alone is not enough. Keeping one's talents consistently improving and current requires that one takes professional training and coaching sessions as often as necessary. To follow up on submitted packets regularly, diligently seeking roles, and never giving up are a few of the key points any aspiring voice artist should keep in mind.
