Locating A Qualified Voice Talent Coach

By Harold Parker


While individuals can often find vocal acting work without training, the best jobs often require at least some level of coaching. As such, to make the most of a career as a voice talent artist, it is often good to have a coach. For, these professionals can provide insight into auditions while finding the highest paying jobs in the business.

In most cases, these professionals have attended years of training, especially those hoping to become a vocal coach. For those seeking a coach, it is often advised to check credentials and references before signing a contract or making payments. While most are honest, there are also those whom simply place ads on craigslist and other websites. While these individuals are often happy to provide advice, many are not qualified to do so.

Once having obtained a coach, it is important to listen to any advice provided. In addition to professional coaching, there are also webinars and workshops which can be quite helpful to those staring out in the field. As such, it is also important to know what specific area one is most interested in providing voice over work.

When it comes to vocal acting, an artist can focus on a specific art form or multiple ones. As such, when looking at various training programs, it is often good to know which one is best suited towards a specific goal. While there are specialized and generalized areas of training in the field, most often artists pick at least one primary area of focus, even if working on other projects and styles from time to time.

Individuals whom are serious about working in the area often need to purchase a home studio, pay for training sessions and marketing materials. As such, while it can be gratifying to eventually make money in the industry, there are also a lot of upfront costs. While this is the case, those doing so can often make more money than someone simply trying to record sessions on a desktop, laptop or tablet.

The industry is also a volatile one, especially for those whom are easily offended. For, while there may a number of revisions required during the course of a project, artists can not take the revisions personally or as a reflection of the quality of work. There are often times when scripts are revised, thus needing revision of previous vocal tracks. If a director, writer or project manager does return work based on quality issues, it is important to acknowledge how the work can be made better in the future.

Once the person in charge of approving the work has reviewed the audio file or tape, the artist is then notified as to whether the work needs revision. In this type work, revisions can often include working with the accent, dialogue, tone or other audio aspects. As such, individuals must also be able to understand how the work needs to be revised and by what date.

In most cases, those whom are dedicated to learning, and whom have the funds required to get involved in the business often find success. Although, there are also others whom no matter how hard one might try, are just not a good fit for this type work. In such cases, it is often possible for these individuals to find work in the industry, just not as a vocal artist or coach.
