Forum: Question of the Week

This weeks question from the list Steven Mane gave us. What animated/radioplay/video game character would you give your left arm to voice?

This is a kind of partner question to last weeks question. Coming from Ovarku. You've told us about your vocal warm ups, but what ELSE do you do before recording? What kind of rituals do you have to do before you start recording?

From Geekums... do you ever do vocal warm ups before recording? If so, what are they?

From Steven Mane this week. If you could grade voice acting on a scale from 1-10, with one being the worst and ten being the best, how would you honestly grade your own voice acting?

Another good one for Refi-chan. Do you prefer to have a small or a big part? Define what you would consider "small" as well as "big."

I really liked this one from Tonberry King. Let's all share good memories! What is the nicest compliment you've received in your voice acting career and/or hobby to date?

Thanks to CalmProto for this one. Have you ever take an acting class? Any acting at all, not limited to just a voice class. If so, how did it help you?

One from Refi-chan. When you audition, do you ONLY audition for the characters you want or for others that you would really just be settling for if you got cast as well?

First part from MissAck, second part a bit of an addition that compliments it. How often do you tend to goof off before and even while recording? What was the most entertaining goof or blooper you have ever recorded? No need to post the audio, but if you happen to have it, you can share it.

Thank you to BrioCyrain for this suggestion. How willing are you to do things you normally would not for a role? For example... heavy cursing, more PG-13 scenes, etc.

Suggestion from Subaru-camui. With so many productions out there to choose from... how do you decide what you will ultimately submit an audition for?

Suggested by Tonberry King (I really like this one) Which role do you wish you had gotten the most throughout your time auditioning that you didn't get?

Suggested by CalmProto... Do you use a pop filter? If so, what kind?

One coming to us thanks to Steven Mane. If you could voice act alongside any ONE person, living or dead, who would it be and why?

Thanks to those that submited their questions! We got enough not to last us for a few good months! This first one comes to us from Refi-chan... Do you have other talents that you're dying to show off on the forums?

What do you want to know from your fellow voice actors? This week's question it a bit of a break from the norm. I've gone for a few months now on the questions the staff came up with back when we were talking about bringing this section back. Now we have run out of the good ones. So, this...

I just saw Toy Story 3 today so while I had another question in mind, it gave me the idea for another one instead. Everyone here has at least a little hint of a dream to one day work professionally in the voice acting world. Some already do. But everyone's dreams and goals are different. So the...

Simple and to the point... what has been your all time favorite role you have played to date and why? Was it the character itself or more so the overall production?

Looks like Amby missed a question for this week so I'll use the remainder of the week to let you guys answer a question I put up on the VAA Facebook page: Earlier, I found this video on the subject of professional voice artists struggling against the demand of celebrities doing voice over work...

If you could name any VAA member that USE to be around a lot (but has since retired and/or vanished off the face of the earth) that you miss seeing around and hearing their work, who would it be?
