Voice over blog

I am Pierre Maubouché, male French voice actor since 1994, and I've decided to share what I've learned over the years. This voice over blog gives you advice and tips, but also some uncomfortable truths about the voice over trade, shakes affected thespians a bit, puts to rest a few myths about the voice over industry, doesn't promise you the moon and the stars, and advocates relentless hard work. Like I said, a voice over blog with a difference.

Obviously, this discourages some people from having a go. They would have given up anyway when they coming up against the harsh reality of the trade. 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!), exposed to continual failure (we're rejected during the casting process 90% 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 coaching I offer), without tenacity and commitment, they were doomed to failure.

But if you are truly, genuinely determined to become a voice actor against all odds... with a brave heart, almost nothing is impossible. I also warmly encourage you to follow me on Linkedin, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. I regularly post content related to our trade. Happy reading!
