Options For Female Voice Over Talents

By Christa Jarvis


The world of acting has many more facets that most people even realize. Actors come in many classifications ranging from standard commercials to infomercials, television to big screen, stage to amusement park characterizations and puppeteers to animation vocalizations. The call for female voice over talents is one that is very wide and quite diversified.

Because one of the rare times the audience actually becomes aware of what the actor looks like is when that thespian happens to be an established star, this niche is not generally the first one to come to mind. The individual's appearance is far less important than their acting acuity and vocal skill range. Such jobs can be found in multiple markets and in a variety of styles.

A lot of actors start out working this field on the local level, which encompasses projects that will be aired or performed only within a small area like a few counties. The next step up are the regional jobs that enjoy a wider broadcasting range that may be spread over several states or territories.

Though these jobs are quite ample, the general public rarely realizes that actual acting skills are a requirement. Because the roles are for a wide range of characters, each possessing their own distinct personality, many actors with vocal skills that are varied are necessary. Voices that are different sounding, smooth and pleasant, gruff and rough, low, high and all things in between, are needed.

In an effort to grab an individual's attention, several websites have started allowing audio internet ads. Though most hardly give it a thought, even those announcements heard in theatrical trailers and before a feature film begins are part of this field.

Animated characters get their personality through an actor's ability to express a variety of emotions through the use of speech only. Many television programs and big screen films have a need for pure vocal skills as well. Though not usually the first thing one thinks of when this genre is mentioned, narrating audiobooks is completely reliant on these performers.

Many actors find that hiring coaches to improve their vocal and acting skills to be most helpful. A high quality sample recording and a well done resume' should be submitted to as many agencies as possible.
