How to voice characters

While some actors enjoy working in front of a camera, there are some who prefer standing behind a microphone. They are voice actors, and their job includes everything from commercials to cartoons. Each character who an actor voices can reflect the different personality aspects that certain actor has. For example, a happy and upbeat character represents a voice actor's cheerful side, but an angry and sad character may represent a voice actor's more irritable side.
Voice actors might seem to have it easy, but their job is actually quite difficult. They have to work long hours in the studio, sometimes reading the same few lines over and over again. A lot of voice actors have studios in their homes so that they can practice or produce demo tapes. Demo tapes have examples of what they can do. They're used in place of auditions. Many famous actors do voice work. In fact, you can often hear the same voices in video games that are in the shows that inspired them.
It's not easy becoming a voice actor. It takes a lot of work and training, just like a movie actor. Voice actors work a long time in the studio, and they might have to say the same lines again and again. Just like regular actors, voice actors have to audition to get jobs. Voice acting auditions are different though. Voice actors will send demo tapes that have examples of what they can do. There is a lot of competition in voice acting too. Fortunately, there are many opportunities out there!
