So, I started my journey into voice acting this year! Yahoo!
It's something I've always had a foot in (if you know me, you know I've always made funny voices and what-not), but it was a Star Fox fan game searching for amateur voice actors that drive me into it and take a leap into a new hobby (FINALLY)! So, I did my best trying to voice a character that was in my higher vocal range, Slippy Toad. While I didn't get the part in the end, my vocal audition received the highest likes from other VA actors. I was hooked. I didn't know I had this "talent" and drive for being a VA (voice actor) but knowing I had a skill that people seemed to think I did too, it just drives you! I then began to practice... A LOT. Every week I would give auditions for other projects, but only ones I was really passionate about and that were in my vocal range. I only have so much time in a week so if I need to do hours of voicing for free, I had to make sure I enjoyed it! After doing a few small one-off projects, I eventually got picked up by a large Youtube channel doing fan content for one of my favourite adult cartoons: Helluva Boss! I was then also upgraded to a video editor for them as well, and actually began to get paid for my skills! I even continue to get chosen for other new projects and have discovered more about both my voice, the skill and how we humans communicate. Most importantly, I've met so many amazing people along the way so far. Young and old, English and other, Men, women and other, all so diverse but all connected to our love of bringing a story to the masses. So far, I've voiced Moxxie, Crimson and Collin (and kid Stolas and Blitzo) from Helluva Boss, King from The Owl House, a few background Sonic the Hedgehog baddies, and many, many more to come! So, this was a quick mind-vomit of my VA journey so far... I hope this helped or illuminated SOMETHING in your day. All the best! Henry - amateur VA
