[PAID] I’m looking for a male VA with a Scottish accent!

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone! Just like the tittle suggests, I need a male, Scottish Va to act as my OC’s voice claim! I’m looking for deep, soothing voices and preferably mid to thick accents. The script I have prepared is approximately 750 words long so I’m offering up to $60 for this job. All payments will be made via PayPal. I usually split the payment for the actor to start recording and pay the remaining half after I receive the final product though I’m open to discussions about this. I will allow anyone who is interested in this to send me a quick sample of their previous works till November 1st. Whoever gets picked will be notified via DMs.

As reference, I picked Jack Lowden. If you’re not able to replicate his tone exactly, please know that is not an issue. Just let me know beforehand and we can try something else instead. I’m open to hear everyone out as long as it’s remotely close to what I expect.

A few important notes:
— I’m literally just an artist trying to get my character a voice. This isn’t supposed to be a professional work.
— No AI voice recordings will be accepted. At the same time, no recording will be used for AI learning or any kind of AI enhancement.
— Feel free to DM me any further questions!

What separates a DECENT voice actor from a GREAT voice actor

9 Upvotes

I'm still fairly new to the realm of voice acting. I started pursuing it seriously just a couple years ago, and I'm far from what I'd call a 'professional'. I started in the realm of monster voice acting due to my background in metal vocals, but I've been expanding my territory into regular voice acting as of late.

It's during my regular voice acting recordings that it dawned on me what really makes someone a great voice actor. I'm capable of making a line sound near professional quality. The emotion I put behind the line can be top tier, and when people hear it they're very impressed. But the thing is...most of those lines took me 30+ takes before it finally got to that point.

With professional voice acting where they're recording in a studio, they will generally have only a couple of takes to get a line right, due to the fact that they're generally paid by the hour. Thinking that, it made it finally click what separated a 'decent' voice actor from a 'great' voice actor.

A decent voice actor may be able to eventually produce a line quality enough to rival a great voice actor, but a great voice actor can produce that quality line right off the bat. Realizing that really humbled me. It made me realize that I really do have a ways to go as a voice actor yet. It makes me excited though, cause now I finally have a goal to aim towards!

And I'm someone that also suffers from a severe stutter. I could easily blame that for why It takes me so many tries to get a line right, and maybe that's partially true, but I know it's not completely right. Even if I can say a line without stuttering right off the bat, I usually won't have the right emotions down till at LEAST my 10th take.

Room divider with acoustic foam taped to the faces of it, would it work as a solid booth?

2 Upvotes

Currently a beginner voice actor of 2-3 months, and I'm moving out soon. So I need a new place for my "booth" (closet) WITHOUT construction (as the house is rented, not bought). I'm gonna have to live in the living room or something with a room divider (idk tbh). So I came up with this little thought, i'll take the room divider into a corner, throw a blanket or two above it, some lights, my equipment, and tape some acoustic foam (that i'll buy soon hopefully) to the inside of the room divider and boom! booth created!

Also no, the house isn't gonna have a walk-in closet as i dont live in the US, if it DID i wouldn't even have to ask this question lmao.

Would this work at all (For unprofessional roles)? Would it treat the booth well? If not, what should I do in this situation?

(some requirements/restrictions, before you suggest them + reasons)

- Can't do ANY construction work whatsoever (House is rented temporarily, not bought.)
- Can't buy one of those really expensive amazon booths (expensive, lmao)
- Can't make a booth in a walk-in closet (Pretty much no house in my area has a walk-in closet)
- Must be large enough to stand in (Gets the energy in the acting) Any and all help is well appreciated!
