The Acting Blog – Voice Actor's Notebook
•
Voice acting has very little to do with the kind of voice you have and has everything to do with how well you can act. And the only way to get better at acting is to study it from as many sources as you can and practice, practice, practice! One source of acting inspiration…

FYI: If the blog looks funny… – Voice Actor's Notebook
•
I’m giving everyone a heads up. During this week I’ll be updating the design of VAN. Which means that sometimes the blog might look slightly off, sometimes things will be floating around in the wrong places, and if you’re using an older browser (namely, Internet Explorer 6 or lower) then it might just be…

This is AWESOME! – Voice Actor's Notebook
•
I just saw this posting on a job website and had to share it before it was taken down. Finally someone is speaking out! I did a quick edit on 1-2 things (plus removed the website’s name) but other than that it’s pretty much 100% as seen on the job website. Please check it…

The tone with which they write their job descriptions and the budgets that they post are down right insulting. Yes, I understand that many voice seekers are ignorant of the voice-over world, its…

•
I’m not sure where this originated, but it arrived in my inbox the other day. I usually don’t pass along these “forward-this-to-the-whole-world” kind of emails, but after a quick read-through I knew this was something worth sharing. It’s mainly aimed at young students who haven’t graduated yet, but I found many of its points…

What I learned from the cherry blossoms – Voice Actor's Notebook
•
The day my best friend announced that she was getting married I was truly and deeply happy for her. “That’s wonderful!” I said. “Congratulations!” I hugged her in that I’m-a-man-and-you’re-a-woman-but-we’re-just-good-friends kind of way. We happily chatted for a few more minutes until she lowered her eyes in a very sorrowful expression. “And…” she began,…

Voice over app: iSaidWhat? – Voice Actor's Notebook
•
I bet the developer never envisioned how his app would be used when he created iSaidWhat. Originally, this was supposed to be a gag app. But what happened was that voice over artists, singers, and other “vocal” people discovered that this app goes way beyond the whole gag concept — it is actually a…
