The Different Types Of Voice Acting
You’ll find that there are many different kinds of actors and classes for each type. There are actors you see on the screen and there are actors you don’t see at all and you hear instead. Those actors are known as voice actors. Since voice actors are never on screen, there is still a large amount of talent the actors must have in order to effectively do their job with their lines.
Contrary to popular belief, voice acting can be far more difficult than the typical on-screen or on-stage acting. This is because the actors don’t have other actors to work with. The actors cannot see facial expressions and body language, and you can’t use many hand gestures, or props to help deliver your line with feeling.
There are many types of voice acting for various roles. A few of them include:
- Podcasts
- Documentaries
- Video Games
- Animated movies or cartoons
- Toys
Tim DeCapua did a brief Q&A on the evolution of gaming and gave a bit of detail on how gaming has changed over the years. Likewise, the art of voice acting in every aspect, including video games, has also changed and evolved with the gaming industry. That doesn’t mean all voice acting has changed. A good portion of some voice acting projects are still the same with business being done the same way.
Act with Feeling
If you can act with feeling you are on the right track. If you can act and make the audience feel something then you are an actor. Good actors can act so that the audience is feeling the same emotions that the screen writer intended. If you just learn the lines and don’t have the ability to convey emotion then give it up. I think that acting is a inherited trait, not something you can learn. Eric Gonchar is one of those actors that were born to act. If you want to be a good actor then I would give it a try.

Commitment Is a Key Part of Acting Success
One of the biggest mistakes aspiring actors make is failing to completely commit to a role. Even veteran actors are guilty of this, as there are many leading actors who have faced criticism for seeming to play themselves in every role they accept. Instead of playing themselves, what these actors are really doing is failing to commit to the part they are playing.
Adam Kutner acknowledges that making such a commitment is incredibly difficult. It is necessary, however, for an actor to undergo a transformation and become immersed in the character they are playing. There are some actors who adopt the method acting approach as an extreme way to completely commit, but this is not always a necessary step.
One of the great and underrated actors of his generation, Bruce Dern is noted for his ability to completely change his demeanor the moment cameras start rolling. According to Will Forte, who worked with Dern on the set of Nebraska, the actor made it seem as though a switch was flipped as he assumed a role that was completely different from his own personality.
For a new actor to be able to succeed, it is necessary to understand how to be able to “flip the switch.” Doing so requires that the actor has spent a great deal of thoughtful consideration on the nature of the role and all of the various emotions that exist beneath the surface of the character. Tapping into this spirit will enable the desired acting transformation to ultimately occur.
To Be, Or Not?
To be or not to be….that is the question. Vincent’s Authorstream.com uploads were informative. They were not Shakespeare but close. As an aspiring actor I am plagued with that question every time I am rejected. Auditions are brutal and a necessity if you plan to survive in show business. Like anything else, the more you do it the better you get. The reality of poverty is real in show business. Yes some individuals make it big but the vast majority fail. If you have aspirations for show business I would think twice, then think again. The chances that you make it big is miniscule. Vincent Malfitano warns to please be cautious.
