How to become a voice actor? Voice acting is a really competitive profession, and there are a few things that you're going to need if you want to be a voice actor. The first thing, of course, is a good voice. And it's worth working on your voice and making sure that you've got a really great sound that's going to make you attractive to an agent and to companies that might hire you.

So, go and see a voice coach, go to a drama school, really work on the voice. The next thing that you will need is an agent for voice over, and as with getting an agent for a book, or getting an agent for an actor, it's very tricky to approach people and to get an agent. But you can look online, and you'll see that there are voice-over agents.

It's worth listening to the actors who are on their websites, because you can hear a little bit of their show reel, their demo, and it gives you a sense of what good voice over's are doing. There are also some really good books on how to become a voice over actor, and it's well worth borrowing them from the library or investing in a copy, and it'll give you a sense of how the business works and how best to get into it. My personal advice on how to become a voice actor would be, train as an actor.

Because all of the skills that you'll learn as an actor, both in how to improve your voice and how to perform and how to characterize are going to be essential for voice over acting, and it will also give you some connections and contacts into the business, which are essential, as voice over is so competitive. So, do the research, work on your voice, get the right training, and then you'll be ready to make contact with the people who can help you. That's how to become a voice actor.
