Tips For Choosing A Voice Over Coach NYC

By Tara Daniels


Voice acting is something that is potentially very lucrative and many actors can get a long term career in this field. There are numerous opportunities such as animation, commercials or even products as GPS systems. In order to maximise this opportunities it helps to have the right training and this is why it helps to find the right voice over coach NYC.

There are of course people that get work without acting coaching. This can be true with voiceovers as well as any other form of acting. However this tends to happen to a very lucky minority. Furthermore increasing your range and improving your skills make you more marketable to an agent or potential clients.

There are various aspects to this. As with any other form of acting it is about breathing and physically preparing and warming up. In this case preparation is vital as you need to take care of your vocal chords and a good coach will be able to make sure that you do not jeopardise this. For example it is often a bad idea to eat chocolate before a vocal performance as this can make it harder to vocalise.

There is a difference between something you are physically capable of doing and something that you can be confident enough to put on a listing. While it is not unknown for people to exaggerate the range of tones that they can do the danger is that when a client hires you and they find you do not give them what they want you can find it harder to get work later on!

Ideally they will also have the equipment to hand as well. While you can prepare yourself vocally there is also the moment where you have to get used to the technical aspect. Once people get over hearing themselves it becomes easier to gauge your vocals and adapt a performance as required. While you can often do a number of takes when recording vocal performances people often prefer performers who can give them what they want as quickly as possible and this generally comes from hiring actors that have been properly trained.

A lot of people may advertise coaching services and many offer promises similar to others who advertise either online or in other mediums. It can be difficult to see if you are getting value for money. Be wary of anyone who guarantees you work unless they have specific contacts and can clearly show that they have managed to secure work for previous students.

It also helps to know a bit of background about the coach themselves. They ought to be able to demonstrate that they have worked in the industry preferably for a number of years and for high profile clients as this will mean they have more of an idea of what clients are likely to want to hear. As well as giving them the experience they need to teach you there is also the additional benefit that they may have contacts you can use in order to get future work.

With any service it helps to research and this is certainly the case when choosing a voice over coach NYC. It is worth looking online and both their website and feedback from people who have previously used their services. This will help to ensure that you get the best possible coaching to get you the best chance of getting a career in the voiceover industry.
