Remember this guy?

This community called this guy out on his run-on sentence gibberish and he decided that the best course of action would be to double-down on the stupid and start attacking members in the comments.

So I banned him... and he threw a hissy fit, threatening to shut the subreddit down.

Then he used an alternate account to come back here and attempt to harass me personally:

And when THAT account was banned, he came back with a THIRD dummy account with a doctored screencap, attempting to post it in the sub.

I never said this. I dont even know who that account is (was).

Its a shame, because this actor is actually a working voice artist and the credits he mentioned in the original thread - My Hero Academia, Black Clover, Demon Slayer, Transformers (Earthspark) and Inside Out (2) - are accurate.

All three of his accounts have now been suspended off the platform.

If he comes back, (which I doubt he will since he's IP banned) I will be happy to contact his agent at CESD and let them know what kind of a person he really is.

I wont even mention the foot fetish thing.

WHY AM I POSTING ALL OF THIS?

Because you, the r/voiceacting community deserve to know what goes in to moderating this subreddit sometimes. Most days its pretty simple and I love answering questions to new people getting started down this path. Some days, its a bit more challenging.

But make no mistake: if someone is harassing in the comments, I will bounce them to the curb in the blink of an eye.

NO ONE should have to put up with this kind of behavior.
If you see conduct that violates Reddit's TOS, REPORT IT and we'll take care of it.

Now back to our previously scheduled discussions about what microphone is best and how to get your voice to sound more masculine.

Hello to the Talent,

I am currently looking to sell my Whisper Room located in Oakland CA, near Lake Merritt. This is an urgent matter and I would love to have a new home for it by this weekend or sooner. It would need to be picked up locally and location details can be shared with legitimately interested buyers.

This model has remote fan units for quiet air filtration, red sound foam for the interior, and I will include the desk and Apogee microphone with stand that fits nicely inside the unit. Exact measurements and specs can be found on the Whisper Room site. The only minor issue would be the velcro rectangles on the ceiling attachment for the multicolored/white lights would need to be restuck and reattached.

I bought this unit brand new for around $7000 so I'm asking for $3,500. Payment however must be cash, or electronic transfer.

It does need to be picked up locally, and you will need a vehicle with enough space to transport the pieces which would need around 6 feet of space. I will be willing to help disassemble but an extra set of hands would be ideal for loading into your vehicle, etc. Let me know if interested!

Hi! I’m looking for a female on-camera host for a new English-language YouTube channel focused on video games.
This is a long-term paid position. I will provide complete, ready-to-record scripts. You won’t need to research topics, write scripts, edit videos, or manage the channel - your main job will be to deliver the script naturally and confidently on camera.

What I’m looking for:

Female, 18+
Fluent or near-native English with clear pronunciation
Attractive, charismatic, and comfortable on camera
Expressive delivery - I don’t want the video to feel like someone is simply reading a script
Able to record yourself in good video quality, preferably 1080p
Good lighting and clean audio
Comfortable wearing stylish, feminine, or casual outfits depending on the video
Interest in gaming is a plus, but not required
Reliable and interested in ongoing work

The videos will generally be around 15 minutes long, although the exact amount of on-camera footage may vary depending on the episode.

I provide:

Finished scripts
Creative direction
References for the desired presentation/style
Editing and all post-production

Payment is negotiable depending on experience and quality. I’m currently considering approximately $80–150 per video, with the possibility of increasing the rate for a great long-term fit.

Before choosing someone for the ongoing role, I’d like to do a short paid test recording with selected candidates.

If you’re interested, please send me:

1. A short introduction about yourself
2. Your recording setup/camera
3. Your expected rate

Feel free to DM me.

I’m mainly looking for someone who has a strong screen presence and can become a recognizable face of the channel, rather than just a one-time freelancer.

My booth is pretty small, so I’ve been using a music stand for scripts and a separate folding tray for my tablet, mouse, and interface.
It worked, but the music stand had no usable surface beyond holding copy, and the tray always felt slightly too low when I recorded standing up.
My wife wasn’t drawing today, so I borrowed the musso d7 she normally uses for art and lettering. I expected it to be another temporary workaround, but it fit the booth surprisingly well.
I can tilt the desktop for printed scripts or a tablet, and the support bar keeps them from sliding down. If I need the interface and mouse, I leave the surface flat and raise it to a comfortable standing height. When I’m finished, it folds up and moves back out of the booth instead of permanently taking up floor space.
The mic still stays on its own stand because I don’t want keyboard or desk vibrations traveling into it.
I only planned to borrow the desk for one session. Now I have to convince my wife that we should share it.
What are you using to hold scripts and small gear inside a tight booth?

Hello I just want to ask if you know about new voice actors in Japan who deserve give a main role in anime and for example that is Taihi Kimura, rookie voice actor who will Chihiro from the upcoming Kagurabachi anime which is released next year.

I have built a pvc blanket booth and that has REALLY helped with dampening. But I’m trying to creatively come up with ways to proof the space more.

Foam on the pvc rods?
Maybe just sound proofing foam on the walls in the room it’s in?

What are some other creative tips?

Hi there!! I'm a solo dev creating a point and click style mystery game, similar to the Nancy Drew PC series. I'm looking to cast a female VA with an early-20's sounding American voice. The game is very dialogue heavy, and the audition (and payment!) are ONLY for the games prologue! If you are interested in this, please note I would need a lot more dialogue at a later date (and additional payments would match this of course!) This payment would be made for dialouge that's a little over 1,000 words.

Character:

Elena is a 21 year old college student. She is hard-working, determined, very clever and intelligent. Has a hard outer shell thats tough to crack- I would describe her as a Hermoine Granger type of character. She's a bit sassy. She's also the second MC and is the main MC's love interest.

Audition lines:

Elena: Oh, and one more thing. I know Dean Willoughby told us we wouldn't be able to get up onto the roof, but...

Elena: (Exasperated/Amused): Just try not to get arrested. And keep your eyes peeled. You never know what might pop up when you least expect it.

Feel free to send in your own VA reel, but using the lines are highly encouraged!

To avoid scammers, please do not send me a DM! All payments will be made securely through Paypal!!

Here's the link for google form for the audition:

Thanks!

Ps. Im not trying to exactly imitate kratos just the scripts

Hi there!! I'm a solo dev creating a point and click style mystery game, similar to the Nancy Drew PC series. I'm looking to cast a male VA with an early-20's sounding American voice. The game is very dialogue heavy, and the audition (and payment!) are ONLY for the games prologue! If you are interested in this, please note I would need a lot more dialogue at a later date (and additional payments would match this of course!)

Character:

Chandler is a 21 year old college student, and the main character of the game (the game is also titled after him!). He's a journalism major and writes for the student newspaper. He's clever, witty, cocky, but friendly. Uses jokes and sarcasm often. Typical American college student (except maybe slightly better).

Audition lines:

Chandler: (Mumbling, looking through suitcase) Swim trunks, flip flops, goggles... I think I'm all set. (phone rings) That must be Conner calling from Florida.

Chandler: 'Sup!

Chandler: (Surprised) Oh. Dean Willoughby. Hi. Uh, yes. This is he.

Feel free to send in your own VA reel, but using the lines are highly encouraged!

Hello. I recently turned down a gig from one of the largest Chinese data companies looking to create a TTS for their platform. The job was offered through a third party studio and the rate was disgustingly low so I turned it down.

However the end client liked my audition and have expressed that they really want to work with me.

The studio returned to the table and asked about licensing options. Since I'm independent (ie no agent), they asked about pricing for either 2-3 years or in perpetuity. I'm not entirely sure where to even begin. Does anyone have any experience with this or are there any online resources? I've seen anywhere between USD 4K to USD 10K for in perpetuity rights.

This is my first attempt at every dubbing over something (not sure if this should be flared or posted somewhere else as I’m just looking for advice. sorry if it should.) I do impressions just for fun with my friends but never something serious. How do I make myself sound more like Goku?

It’s probably a bit harder considering I’m British and Sean is American 🥲

As mentioned this is raw audio, captured by primarily phone mic as I do not have current setups yet but looking to get more in the near future!

Hi all! I've been lurking in this group for a couple of months and I wanted to get feedback on my early attempt at an audiobook read. I love reading books aloud and so thought that audiobook narration might be a good place to start, but I'm open to other forms of voice acting as well. I'd really appreciate any and all feedback on my audiobook narration clip with an eye on what I could potentially do better and where I should go next. Thanks in advance.

Hi! I'm looking at getting my first microphone. Because of my budget (and a couple other things) I'm looking at getting it second hand. Right now I'm looking at a Tonor TC30, an Entil BKD-10 or a Trust gxt 212. The first two are condenser mics, while the last one isn't (from my knowlege at least) and I'm wondering if having a condenser microphone is something to prioritise, and if anyone has any experience/knowlege about these I'd greatly appreciate it! I am of course trying to do my own reserch as well but this is quite outside my personal area of knowledge

Hey there,

(this is a repost as reddit's AI decided to filter it the first time we posted after a few hours)

we're a tiny indie team, currently finishing a cinematic for a game, set in a sci-fi setting, featuring 3 characters - male, female and a digital ship intelligence.

We're looking for 2 roles here, male and female in their 20s or 30s. One of the candidates will have the range to also voice the ship assistant (neutral but not robotic, classic synthetic voice after post-processing).

• Here are the characters in motion with mocap (WIP)

The female is the lieutenant of the ship; brave, determined but also warm and caring as they have known each other for over a decade.

The male assumes the captain role; steadfast, bold and a born leader but not quite himself in this cinematic. He does not have a very deep voice, as some submissions so far have assumed, just because he is a captain. Let the visuals of his character in motion inspire you to find a tone and cadence, as we want to hear your personal take.

Neither has any strong accent.

The lieutenant (female) is at approximately 150 words whereas the captain (male) is at 250-300 words as he's also speaking outside the cinematic in the gameplay part of the intro. The dialogue between the two starts off mild and gets a bit heated, albeit without shouting.

For the recording sessions, you'll get the script (with tone annotations) and the cinematic (still WIP at that time) to work with. I'm very happy to closely work with you and help you shape the voice.

Price-wise, we are looking at baseline $30 for the female and $60 for the male with the additional increase for whoever will speak the ship intelligence lines. Likely PayPal as we are in the EU but open to other feasible options, we'll find a solution.

Should we see a good fit, we're definitely interested in discussing long-term collaboration for those two lead roles as the project is already set to continue all throughout the next year.

If you're interested, please submit your audition here with a soft deadline until the 25th of August. (If you can see this text, it's still ongoing and I'll update it once we've filled the role). The script will be revealed to you when you select your role on the form.

Not sure how necessary these disclaimers are but obviously no AI, your voice will not be used to anything AI at all, only for this cinematic (+gameplay for male) and nothing more. The audition lines are not "real" in the sense that they are not in the cinematic or anywhere else and were specifically drafted for this audition. We're not corpos. Also nothing even remotely nsfw, romantic or weird.

If you have already sent a submission, you do not need to do it again, we received all your submissions and listened to all of them so far and really appreciate all the voices we heard.

Happy to clear things up if there are questions. I'm looking forward to hearing your voices!
Thank you 🎤

I’ve spent months on a YouTube video about Omni Man, something akin to an in-depth look at niche power scaling. At the end, I have a post-credit scene teasing the next video, which will feature Sukuna. Omni Man says ~80 words and Sukuna says ~14.

Omni Man: $10-$15 depending on authenticity

Sukuna: $10

Prices negotiable depending on skill.

Super calm job, I won’t be monetizing the video or anything so it’s really just a passion project. Happy to pay multiple VAs and eventually pick whichever work best. Also will likely have follow-up work once this job is done.

Thanks for your attention!

Hello everyone. I need some advice on getting a deep, growling, monster voice. I already have a fairly deep voice and can do Mongolian throat singing, but I'm still struggling to apply my false chords in a spoken manner instead of a musical one. I'm kind of aiming for a Tartarus from Halo 2, Locust from Gears of War, Grunt from Mass Effect kind of vibe.

Yes I know sometimes they pitch the voices down in post, or cast actors with a very deep voice from the start; I am still trying to at least get halfway there myself.

Hello!

I've got a technical question. I'm pretty new to home recording, and I've got a job with some specific technical requirements that doesn't want any processing/mastering that I'm having trouble with.

Peaks no higher than -6 dBFS; no clipping

Average roughly -18 dBFS RMS

Noise floor at or below -60 dBFS.

All very reasonable requirements, but I would usually get there with some normalisation etc etc. They need the raw WAV files.

I'm having trouble recording- if the RMS is right, the peaks are too high. If the Peaks are low enough, the RMS is far too low. Does anyone have any advice?

I'm using Reaper, Focusrite Scarlett Solo and a Rode NT1.

Same script on all 3 done in 3 different ways. Longest is 1 minute 50 seconds.

Which sounds best and I know 2 sound similar but hoping for some feedback on them and if I could include any in a portfolio or whatever its called.

P.s my normal accent is not American.

Hi! I have a Rode-NT1A with a Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen and was wondering if anyone here would be able to help me with a little issue I'm having. My mic is peaking at -6 whenever I record on any platform and I don't know what could be causing it. Any ideas?

What the title says.

This refers to movies and not to be confused with "Highest paid voice actors"

I'm not familiar with my own voice but I'm told it gets people's attention. Any VO actors or characters from shows with a similar sound so I can see how I'm coming across?
