“What exactly does a voice actor do?” is a question often asked by those curious about this occupation. For some time now I’ve given a basically bland answer to this question. But recently after much thought (and maybe one too many beers) I’ve come up with what I believe to be a more accurate definition:
A voice actor is someone who gets paid to spend hours every day trapped inside a tiny room no bigger than a phone booth pretending to be someone they’re not while talking to imaginary people.
(Is it any wonder why the rooms are padded with foam? )
If I’ve missed anything in this definition, please feel free to add more in the comment section!
