On entend souvent certains comédiens voix se plaindre des tarifs bas parfois proposés. Alors, sommes-nous victimes de méchants rapaces à l'affût de pauvres petites proies sans défense ? Est-ce vraiment trop injuste ?

Parfois, en tant que comédiens voix off, nous travaillons à distance (depuis un studio commercial ou notre studio privé, aussi appelé 'home studio') avec un studio receveur, où se trouve notre client qui dirige la séance (producteur, directeur artistique, créatifs, annonceur...) Mais quelle est donc cette technologie mystérieuse ? Parlons-nous ici de téléportation ?

Some voice-overs think they can tackle the task of narrating audio books (called audiobooks by the Anglophiles) without a second thought. After all, it's all about speaking into a microphone, isn't it?

First of all, why do you want to be visible on social networks? Isn't that just narcissism? Answer: Yes. Or no. It all depends on how you use them. Here's how.

Let's start with a truism: of course, our job is to speak well. But to think that this is our only task would be to miss the point. What, you may ask, is expected of us first and foremost? Answer in this article.

As the saying goes, money is the sinews of war, a somewhat taboo subject in France, but one that needs to be addressed. I've been a male voiceover artist since 1994, so I'm fairly familiar with the ins and outs of the subject, and I'm going to try to help you.

You were certainly born to do this job! Call the best studios and the biggest production companies right away, they're just waiting for you and have some great sessions already lined up for you. And if you want to continue with the Care Bears, look at the image on the right.

The script is just a few lines or pages that appear in front of you. Before that, you'd never even seen it. But for your client, it's the result of days, even weeks or months of work, and you are the key element that will finally bring it to life.

Our profession has its good practices to apply, its ethics to respect, its dos and don'ts. Here is a short, non-exhaustive list.

With a little practice, you can read a script very easily if you don't bring anything to it. It's easy, it's hollow, it's meaningless. If you put your mind to it, even with considerable experience, everything changes: it becomes much more difficult, you stumble, you row... and that's where it gets interesting.
