Voice over blog

A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT KIND OF VOICE OVER BLOG

I am Pierre Maubouché, professional French voice actor since 1994, and I've decided to share what I've learnt over the years. This voice over blog will give you tips and tricks, but it will also tell you some uncomfortable truths about the voice over profession (yes, it's a profession in its own right), disrupt some ridiculous preconceptions, put away some voiceover myths, doesn't promise the moon, and advocate hard work. Like I said, a voiceover blog with a difference.

Obviously, this discourages some of them, who would have given up anyway when they came up against the harsh reality of the profession. You may think I'm being harsh, but in reality I'm doing them a favour. With illusions of easy success (after all, it can't be that hard, everyone's talking, right?), exposed to continual failure (we're rejected during the 90% casting phase of the time - if we're any good), and not prepared to invest their time in training (I talk about this in this article on voice over training and present here the voice over coachingI offer), without tenacity and commitment, they were doomed to failure.

But if you're really, truly determined to become a voice actor against all the odds... with a valiant heart nothing is impossible, or almost. I also warmly encourage you to follow me on my Linkedin profile, Facebook page, my Instagram account and my Twitter account, where I regularly post links to articles on the voice-over and audio post-production sector. Enjoy your reading!
