How did I get Started with Voice Acting?

Like most kids growing up I watched a lot of cartoons. Never made the connection though that people got paid to play and act those voices.

Later in life I would get very into Improv Comedy Theatre. For those that don’t know Improv is what they do on Whose Line Is It Anyway? which is a great show.

Improv is magical since you go on-stage with other performers and make stuff up on the spot. Nothing is quite like it. At least this is my opinion of it.

While taking Improv classes through the local group here, one of the my fellow Improv team members pulled me aside after class one day and said, “Adam, you have such a wonderful and powerful voice when you are performing! Have you thought of getting training to use it?”

I had always thought it would be fun to do sports announcing or commentary for Baseball or American Football. However, I never really pursued it. I told her this and she recommended I do what she did, be an Auctioneer.

That’s right she was a professional Auctioneer. She makes her living going around doing auctions mainly for non-profit fundraising events. She’s not a typical Auctioneer like you would think that just stands up there at the podium. She works the room and is energetic and fun. That’s why you hire her over someone else.

To do this type of professional Auctioneering you need to get trained so you don’t blow out your voice. She has a strong theatre background and even went to school to get auction training to use her voice properly. You also need to get licensed to do auctions.

She wanted me to get trained to do these types of auctions. With the Improv background she thought I would be great at it. I said, “Appreciate it but, no.”

After more Improv classes she kept bugging me about how great my voice was and how I needed voice training.

I kept saying, “I like to do Improv!” and of course I knew I was going somewhere with Improv.

So much so that when I auditioned to be on a house team and in the advanced Conservatory school… I was rejected.

One day after an Improv class she told me she had just come from New York City and gotten a demo done for voice acting gigs. I wasn’t really aware of what it was so she explained and I listened to her demo. I was intrigued and pretty much at a low point with Improv.

This demo was insanely expensive to produce. She did say there was a new voice acting teacher in town that taught at the radio station. I should look him up since he was well known and respected in the voiceover industry.

She had actually taken a few lessons with him and thought we would get along well.

This teacher turned out to be Stan Fisher.

Stan essentially asked where I thought I was going with Improv. Of course he couldn’t see it that day but a future Saturday Night Live (SNL) cast member was in his presence.

He smartly sold me on the idea that learning new skills as an actor, such as voice acting, is a positive. I also needed a break from Improv, since honestly… I was trying to hard to be funny. One of the cardinal sins I was breaking when learning and performing Improv.

More importantly he told me had been on a Second City and Groundlings teams in Los Angeles. At the time this was basically god level cool to me.

Where did the idea for VoiceActing.net come from?

Fast forward many years later to being an adult, I was working in marketing. I regularly used RSS (Really Simple Syndication) in my job and to keep updated with topics going on in the SEO, PPC, and Digital Marketing realms.

In addition to keep updated with the industries that I would work in.

Sometimes I would just check the news aggregators in certain industries, since that saved a lot of time.

A few years later I launched my own aggregators for various industries and VoiceActing.net was on of them.

Future of VoiceActing.net

What will the future of VoiceActing.net?

At this point in time I’m still exploring the possibilities. Hopefully we can expand partnerships and grow our newsletter to reach more people.
