    Re: Voice Acting With Allergies

    -Eat local honey. Daily. It'll take a few weeks, but eating that will help you build up a tolerance for the local pollen.

  2. Re: How do I make it with a restrictive family?

    There's no easy solution, but the path I'm about to suggest is actually not too different from what I'd suggest to anyone, regardless of family concerns. Find a field they agree with that you are...

    Re: FUNimation question

    Haha, I was just about to link to that very blog. Well, MystykNess beat me to the punch, but I'm just confirming that that's what your audition is going to be like. Since it's a general audition,...
  4. Re: Voice acting for American company, like Funimation, if you're not from America?

    Scott McNeil (of Canada) has done some work for FUNi, but he's more of an exception rather than a rule. To work for FUNimation (or any other dubbing studio), basically you should be an American...

    Re: Losing Your Voice!

    1.) Stop talking.
    2.) Hydrate. Clear liquids only. Water is fine. Sports drinks are cool. Coconut water is really great.
    3.) Seriously, no talking. Muscles don't really heal if you keep using them.
  6. Re: Has the quality of work available for audition gone down?

    Seriously? I think the quality of available projects has been going up in leaps and bounds. Sure, maybe there are a bunch of RPGMaker clones hanging around, but even having a bunch of similar looking...

    Re: Casting Page for Paid Voicework

    Since a couple people have asked:

    Projects come when they come and I'm afraid I can make no promises as to the frequency of the work or the nature of the voices needed. I cast for several...

    Re: Anime or American Cartoons

    Dubbing tends to be non-union work. It's a much smaller market, so they can't afford to pay union rates. American animation is often union work, and once you're in the union, you really can't take on...

    Re: Humble Beginnings.

    I do apologize if it seems like I'm not giving due credit to the accomplishments of a lot of the people here. I've known most everyone on the list for a very long time, and I'm extremely proud of...

    Re: Looking for advice, if any is available

    I've been holding off from posting here because the advice I'm about to give can easily be misconstrued.

    But, here goes. Sigh.

    Practice imitations. There. I said it. And before I go any...

    Re: Humble Beginnings.

    There's not really a magic number or a real formula for that. It's sort of like asking how long you have to practice before you can get into major league baseball. The incredibly vague and unhelpful...

    Re: Being a VA and Having a Normal Job

    Best advice I can give is don't lie. O_o Some places would rather not hire actors because they know it means sudden shift changes and days off. It's not fair to any employer to hide the fact that you...

    Re: Auditioned with FUNi

    There's not really a hierarchy to auditions, like a top or bottom of the list. As for auditioning for leads, that's a yes and no sort of thing. It's detailed a little more here, but the skinny of it...

    Only a few have confirmed they are auditioning? Is there a list somewhere I haven't seen, or is it just talking with your circle of friends, or something else? Because auditions at FUNi draw several...
  15. Re: How long did it take you to get your first voice acting work

    Between sending out a demo reel and the first call? Six months. Between the reel and the first named character? Three years.

    Honestly, I wouldn't worry about counting the numbers so much or...

    And now most people reading this are confused.

    Re: www.Voice123.com

    Voice123 is a service, not an agency. Therefore, they do charge for membership. There are several audition websites that do this, not just for voice. Not everything on it is for paid members only....

    YOU WOULD BE CORRECT.


    You are correct, too.

    Off the top of my head, I can think of one studio in Seattle that dubs video games, and I know of another group more to the east that provides walla for film and television. I'd heartily suggest...

    A demo reel "proper" is a compilation of clips of things you've been in. The reason a lot of people put music and sound effects in is to give the impression that it was lifted directly from a TV show...
