@michaelazekas how did you get into voice acting? I have a weird dream of narrating audiobooks
@ansate Also, if you're passionate about audiobooks, get as comfortable as you can with either engineering your own work or contract out the editing. Audiobooks are an artform of their own and--I'd argue--require the most focus and discipline because of the challenge to efficiently record & produce them.
@michaelazekas I am very tempted to learn some basics and then look into sharing public domains short stories to start
@ansate That's a good way to start. If you can, do some research and try to find a local voice actor (or acting coach in general) to workshop the stories. They'll help to hone your delivery and develop your strengths to make your most marketable qualities shine.
@michaelazekas sometimes I see voice acting classes at the local community college - one day!
@ansate Community college is a great way to start. That's how I went back to school for audio production. (More hands-on than my 4-year university. Go figure.) If you see a professor teaching VO, take a look at their background to see what kind of work they do. A currently working talent will be hip to trends, and hopefully they do a lot of long-form recording. (audiobooks, e-learning, etc.)
