Voice Acting and Narration

Voice acting is creating compelling characters using only your voice. Narration is voicing content with clarity and emotional intelligence. Both require strong vocal technique, character work, microphone proficiency, and the ability to perform in a studio environment without visual feedback. Voice acting is the performance of fictional characters in audio: animated films, video games, audiobooks, radio dramas, and podcasts. A voice actor creates unique, recognizable character voices using pitch, tone, accent, and personality quirks, often performing multiple characters in a single session. Narration is voicing non-character content: stories, instructions, corporate training, documentaries, and informational content. A narrator uses clarity, pacing, emotional intelligence, and authoritative presence to engage the listener and guide them through a narrative. Both skills demand proficiency with microphone technique (placement, plosive control, distance consistency) and the ability to take direction from a producer or director, often performing the same line multiple times with different emotional inflections.
