Tips For Choosing A Voice Over Coach NYC

By Tara Daniels


Voice acting is something that is potentially very lucrative and many actors can get a long term career in this field. There are numerous opportunities such as animation, commercials or even products as GPS systems. In order to maximise this opportunities it helps to have the right training and this is why it helps to find the right voice over coach NYC.

It is worth noting that there are also various types of vocal performances you can do. You could do narration for a documentary or audio versions of books. There is also radio plays, jingles or voicing characters for an animation or a CGI character in a live action production.

Each of these requires different approaches. A good coach will recognise this and help you to develop your skills for the kind of work you want to do. This is why when you first meet a coach it is worth discussing your goals and what you would like to do so you can gauge whether they will be able to coach you in the right way.

As well as how you physically approach a performance you also need to remember that this is still acting. How someone speaks can affect how a character is perceived. For example one particular challenge is in how to differentiate playing a younger version of a character from an older one. It is not just about making the pitch of the voice higher but also having a different energy come through the performance.

It also helps to spend time in a recording booth. If you have developed your voice but have not used the equipment it can make the process quite difficult when you begin as you have to adapt to using it. Ideally a coach will have up to date equipment to make the transition between training and professional recording as smooth as possible.

A lot of people may advertise coaching services and many offer promises similar to others who advertise either online or in other mediums. It can be difficult to see if you are getting value for money. Be wary of anyone who guarantees you work unless they have specific contacts and can clearly show that they have managed to secure work for previous students.

It also helps to know a bit of background about the coach themselves. They ought to be able to demonstrate that they have worked in the industry preferably for a number of years and for high profile clients as this will mean they have more of an idea of what clients are likely to want to hear. As well as giving them the experience they need to teach you there is also the additional benefit that they may have contacts you can use in order to get future work.

It is worth comparing carefully when choosing a voice over coach NYC. Look online both at their website and any feedback from previous clients. This will allow you to find the best one for your personal goals and give you the best chances of getting voice over work in the long term.
