As an actor, you're trying to capture the nuances of real life, but voice work is almost over-acting.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You have to do real acting, not just do a voice.
Acting is reacting... there's a magic when you're working with another actor. With voice acting, you're doing it alone, all in your head. So, you have to re-create that essence by yourself. It's not necessarily more difficult. It's just a different set of skills.
I feel like I'm more of a physical actor than a voice actor.
Trying to give an individual a voice has always kind of been my mission in my life. As an actor, I've always seen that was something that needed to be done. You need to find that voice inside of you so that you can stand up and be who you really are.
So from an actor's perspective, you really have no idea how you're acting.
Many people think voice over artists just read, there's much more to it. Without acting beats, scene study and improving skills, you won't make it.
The actor has to develop his body. The actor has to work on his voice. But the most important thing the actor has to work on is his mind.
I haven't done a lot of voice work, but I know that a lot of shows will just bring in the actors individually, and they will just do what is on the paper. You miss out on that connection of having everyone there.
It's fascinating to see actors who do voiceovers every day.
As an actor, you can do what you want with your role. That's why they hire you; to take the role and make it real.
