client’s reels. Work out where your voice might sit in the industry. If you want to voice commercials, what kind of products is your voice likely to work for? What’s your niche? If you’re very good at cartoon type character voices then make a cartoon reel as well as a commercial reel. I would argue that it’s worth spending maybe a couple of hundred pounds to make a great voice reel. My reel cost me about £250. That might seem like a lot of money but it’s been a good investment. I now earn a living from being a VO. If you spend £250 on a
reel and never ever get a job I bet you’ll still be able to think of things you’ve wasted more money on and are much less proud of. If you specifically want to voice games then once you’ve got your reel send it to the studios that record the voices. Do your best to get a voice agent.

What are your ambitions for the future? The future of games is very exciting. I have still yet to do Mo-Cap [motion capture] and am dying to give it a go. I love doing VO’s but I am a classically trained actor and would love to be doing the whole performance and not just the voice. The way games are going with more and more full performances needed from actors should mean that this is a more realistic prospect. I hope one day to be voicing cartoons and animated movies too. As we all know though, it’s a very competitive business.
Do you have any tips for aspiring voice over actors? If you’re an aspiring voice actor the first thing I would recommend is to make as good a voice reel as you can. Do your research, go on voice agent’s websites and listen to their
Most work (in the UK at least) comes through the agents, whether it’s games or commercials. There are so many people trying to get into voice work (and acting in general and casting directors are much more likely to take notice if you’re represented by an agent they know and trust. Most importantly, stay positive and be proactive. You can’t expect your career to happen over night, it took me a couple of years before I started to get regular work.
