Frequently asked questions
Do I need any experience to attend this webinar?
Not at all. This free session is designed for anyone curious about voice acting, whether you’re completely new or already exploring the industry.
Do I need a particular kind of voice to succeed in voice acting?
No. There’s no one “perfect” voice. The industry needs a wide variety of voices, and much of the craft lies in learning how to use yours effectively.
What equipment do I need to get started?
You don’t need a professional studio setup to begin exploring voiceover. We’ll touch on home recording basics during the talk and explain what’s really essential at the start.
Is voice acting something you can really make a career from?
It absolutely can be. But like any creative career, it takes skill, practice, and persistence. This free talk will give you a realistic picture of the industry and what it takes to succeed.
I feel nervous about performing in front of others. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Many people feel this way at first, but confidence grows as you gain skills and experience.
What are the next steps after the free talk?
If you’d like to take things further, we’ll explain how our Stage 1: Narration course works, and how to arrange a Discovery Call to discuss your goals in more detail.
Will artificial intelligence (AI) take over voice acting?
AI is already having an impact, but human creativity, emotion, and interpretation remain in demand. We’ll touch on how the industry is adapting and how you can stand out.
