You’ve been told you have a great voice, but have no idea how to become a voice actor.

In this episode, you’ll learn the 5 steps that lead to you getting paid for your voice.

These 5 steps aren’t complicated to do, but super important if you want to learn how to become a voice actor.

Step 1 is all about doing your research (like you are right now by watching this video). Why is research step 1? I’ve found that many people have false ideas in mind regarding working in voice-over. Learn about the future steps even if you aren’t there yet, so you’ll be well prepared on what to do next.

Next, you need a recording space setup. Step 2 is about getting amazing sounding audio.

In Step 3, you’ll need some form of voice-over training. This will help you drop that newbie sound.

Once you’ve crushed you’re newbie voice, it’s time for Step 4, your voice-over demo.

Finally, since once you’ve completed all 4 previous steps, it’s time to take your voice to market and start getting paid.

Step 5 means finding the people and companies that regularly need voice-over work.

Now you’ll know exactly how to become a voice actor.
