ABSTRACT
The term “voice acting” is often misunderstood as referring only to performing for Japanese films, known as Anime. But the truth about voice acting goes far beyond a single performing genre. To confuse things further, the common term used to describe all types of work in which the entire performance is delivered only through the sound of the voice is “voiceover.” Voiceover work is part of “show business.” As such it has all the potential excitement, celebrity status, and opportunities as other areas of show business, as well as the endless auditions and challenges dealing with agents, producers, and clients. Because voiceover is part of “show business,” it can take many years of study and constantly being in the right place, to achieve a level of success. Doing voiceover work on a full-time basis is unlike just about any other job can imagine.
