Voice Actor — Career Preview

Bring characters, brands, and stories to life with your voice

Voice actors use their voice to perform characters, narrate stories, deliver commercials, and create content for animation, audiobooks, video games, e-learning, and more — most working from home studios.

A day in the life

You warm up your voice, review audition scripts, record three commercial spots with different takes, edit and deliver files to a client, then spend the afternoon recording two chapters of an audiobook. Between sessions you check casting sites for new opportunities.
