I've been experimenting with a slower, more intimate narration style and would really appreciate constructive feedback from other voice actors. I'm especially interested in thoughts on: • pacing • vocal warmth • authenticity • emotional delivery • whether the pauses work The piece is an original monologue called **"If…

I’m a beginner voice actor, and I’m not sure where this industry is heading. I’m a freelance voice actor, and I also occasionally take on translation projects.

I am curious. On our journey as actors not very many of us make much money right away in this highly competitive field. So what are some of the best and flexible sources of income you have found to help you on your journey?

So, I'm a somewhat aspiring voice actor. Mainly I just enjoy narrating things. I've made a long video essay type video and the beginning of a long audiobook.

The script is very tight and needs the two actors to face each other, there’s a lot of interrupts and talking over each other. I’m tempted to record with a single yeti in bi-directional mode and keep the actors facing each other. But, would it make a significant difference to use two yetis and give each actor their own…
