I've been very lucky to have had the opportunity to play a diverse cast of characters in the short time I've been a voice actor.
Ashly BurchI think getting something together to showcase your voice is important. You can also watch cartoons and play games and just kinda listen, and try to see how the design of the character matches to the voice.
Ashly BurchI feel like I'm always being challenged by my voice acting roles, for multiple different reasons. I still get nervous every time I book a gig.
Ashly BurchI've been a soldier, I've been a bunch of little girls, all sorts of roles that I would not have been able to be with on camera context because I just don't look the part.
Ashly BurchThere are a few pretty fundamental differences. In voice acting, if you are doing game recording, for the most part you are going to be by yourself in a studio. With game voice acting you are constructing everything for yourself pretty much. You're thinking about what the other characters could be doing, trying to imagine the scene, you're constructing the entire environment for yourself.
