How to Get Started in Voice Over for Beginners: Complete Guide

One of the problems with voice over advice on YouTube and in general is that it often comes from successful people.

Stay with me.

Among the things it takes to be successful is time. So, the people that are successful today started years and often decades ago.

And the problem with that is voice over is a very different business than it was 30, 20, 10, even 5 years ago. And so many of the strategies and paths and techniques that made successful voice actors even in the 20-teens don’t apply today, here, now, in the mid 2020’s and beyond.

If you’re just getting into the business today, that’s a problem.

So today I’m going to tell you exactly what I would do if I were a new voice actor. I’ll give you the timeline and how I would spend my time, money, energy, attention.

I’ll tell you what tools I would use, gear I would buy, and just as importantly, mistakes I would not make that rookies today make often.
