Voice Over Training for aspiring child voice artists
Q1. Is there any Age limit to apply for work as a Voice Artist ?
A 1. In Industry male, female & child voice artists are required. If you have clear voice, language command & also know how to deliver scripts as per requirement you can apply for voice over work.
Q2. Is there any Qualification or Certificate required to apply ?
A2. No. Voice Over & Dubbing is totally a Talent based work. Real Voice Artists, who are working in the Industry in Recording Studios for years actually have no Certificates as such. A voice over artiste is only judges by his voice samples & companies he has given voice for. Nobody will ever look into your CV, Qualification & Certificates etc.
Q3. People say that I have a good voice so I want to apply for work directly.
A3. Making career in this Industry is a serious game. It is never advisable to approach for work when you are unprepared or have no idea of Industry & are only depending on basic instinct like having good voice or good communication skills.
Q 4. Is there a Competition in this business?
A 4. No & Yes. This is a Quality Game. Here only those survive who have the real talent & know how of the Industry. There are so many people claiming to be Voice Artists. Many directly want to apply or are willing to work on low cost, or even for free. In Voice Over Industry those people who have the right talent repeatedly get the Mainstream work. So for example on an average if there are 100 claming to be voice artists, there will be only 10 amongst them who actually are the Artist Material & they will be hired repeatedly for commercial projects. For less professional work people are ready to work even from home from few hundreds to thousands rupees or even free of cost.
Q5. I can sound like that TV Ad guy, or make voices like cartoons so I want to apply, as I think I can well modulate my voice very well & I have that confidence.
A5. As a Production House, on an average we get around 10 enquires though emails, whatsapp etc from people who want to apply only on the basis of Instinct. If you really think you're talented enough & this work looks very easy simply hire a recording studio & as a first step make a studio demo reel showcasing your skills. Studios have professional equipment to record. Remember that no Studio will give you a second chance in this field. So directly approaching the studio for work while you unprepared has its potential risk. Apply for voice over work without studio demos is like applying for a Job without a CV. The studio you will hire you will give you script & help you make samples. Duration of samples should be 30 sec, 40sec or 1 - 2 mins max. Don't send mobile recordings as your demo. As any body can do that!
Q6. What is the way to Become a Voice Artist ? Should I join some Institute ? Is Training Mandatory ?
A6. Method 1 - Learning the Craft by Experience if you trust on your capabilities & also if you get some film production environment where you can get exposure, which obliviously can be time consuming & apart from that without a Mentor you will not have any direction. If you dont want to spend money you can take this route. Method 2 - To get trained by a Professional Voice Over Artist, who is known by the Quality of His/Her Voice Samples, Videos, Work etc. A Professional Voice Over Trainer whose work you have seen can undoubtedly shorten your path & provide you direct Industry knowledge & current trends about which it would be difficult to learn on Internet, youtube videos, Tutorials, or Institute classes etc. A word of Caution here - It is a Well known fact in the Entertainment Industry that many people who lure people of quick stardom. Promises of making you Actors, Voice Artists etc. in few days or weeks are very common in Metropolitan cities like Mumbai & Delhi. One should thoroughly enquire such places/ people, because most likely you will come out with findings that such people who promise you quick success & work are the ones who themselves have not been able to make a mark in industry or do the mainstream work, so to survive themselves in this field they start to sell the Dreams they once looked for themselves. They will claim you to make you voice artists but you will never get to see their own voice over work. A foolproof method to verify such place/ person is to look into their work profile rather than blindly trusting their words. For instance If somebody claims you to make an Actor in few days you should check his Acting work first, if somebody tells you to make you a Voice Artist in a matter of day or two or even few hours, check their voice samples, or videos & companies they have worked in. You will automatically get to know the truth. Only a Real Actor can tell you how much time & effort it takes to Learn Acting. These days people are in hurry, so initially they join such places & then blame the Luck or blame the Industry. There is nothing to be blamed, to be successful in this Industry you only need the right talent, & once you have acquired that Good Luck will automatically follow.
Q7. I don't have any past Experience of any Studio of Film, is there any hope I can get work with you. I don't have Studio demo. Is it full time or part time job ?
A7. Although nobody will ask you about any Experience, but no body will even call you directly without listening to your Studio recordings. Its a part time freelance work. For those who do projects regularly it becomes their mainstream source of Income.
Q8. We are a group of 6 Students in Mumbai & have done Mass Comm, we need Internship in Voice Over ?
A8. Voice Over Work depends on individual's performance & perfection, not on trail & error basis. Internships don't happen in this field.
Q9. How can I apply for work at deepakvoice.com or other studios in general ? I don't have samples can't I come directly to give test of my voice ?
A8. If you don't have ur studio demo reel mostly likely you are not a voice artist, Every studio will ask for your samples rather than directly calling you for work or audition. In case of Dubbing, Voice Acting or cartoon work even after your samples are approved you might still need to go for audition & based on your performance you will get the work.
Q 10. Hi, I got some training from some place, but still my demos look normal reads, how can i get work ?
A.10. Before joining any voice over training institute or workshops one must enquire about the person or the place where you will be taught. Whether the person claiming to teach you is a Voice Over Artist or not ?, Have you heard his/her Voice Samples, Have you checked some Videos where his voice is used. Any body can teach you things like vocal exercises, modulation etc. as everything is available on Internet free of cost as well. You can even learn such things on your own. The real Industry skills can be learned only from the one who is working in the Industry & you have seen or checked his work personally. So without falling into the traps of quick promises, shorcuts of over night success, certifications etc., look into the profile of the Person & work environment. This was a question asked by a lady who did some voice over training classes in Mumbai & then applied as an Artist with her voice samples named as discovery.mp3 etc. On asking about the profile of the Trainer, she had no clue about his voice over works, in terms of videos or voice samples. According to her she had only seen his videos on his website preaching about voice over industry & how it is done. She had not seen any of his works in the form of Audio samples or Videos & simply relied on words.
Q 11. Hi, I am interested in voice dubbing. I am a Fresher. I have no experience, do I need training ? Basically I am interested in part time work as a voice over artist. How will i find that I am suitable as per your requirement.
A11. There is no need to disclose it to the studio that you are a fresher as that will only lessen your chances of selection. Further more it will not the sound enggineer more than a minute or even seconds to discover that you are a Voice Artist or not. Training need depends on your Seriousness. But as such no one will ask for any certificates in this industry. Here only your talent is your certificate. The talent of a Voice Artist is showcased by Voice Samples, Videos, Films etc. No one will ask even your past work experience. So make sure if you join any voice over classes check the Commercial samples of the Trainer first, because at the end of training you will be judged on this basis only. Voice Over work is always done in Part time manner. A professional voice artist can tell you what work you are suitable for. In general people have mis conceptions if they have good voices, or fluency so they are Ready for the Industry. These days as media is so wide, almost every voice is suitable for voice over work. Voice Over Dubbing as it looks simple on TV, is not at all actually it takes hours of labour by Dubbing Artist, Sound Engg, Directors etc. & once you come across real dubbing session in Studio you will get to know what it all takes to make it look like that simple. ( An example of Dubbing )
Q12. I work in a Company where I have to do presentations etc. & they say I have a very good voice, & also on the phone you listen to me can you give me a feedback whether my Voice is Fit for Industry or not?
A12. Having a Good voice certainly gives to an edge over others in Voice Over Industry. Today Media & Industry is so vast that actually every voice has some requirement. If you believe or people say you have a good voice this shows the potential which you can utilise. One major thing which freshers in voice over industry often ignore is the Delivery Styles. Unless untill you don't know the various delivery styles as per clients expectations you will eventually be a part of crowd who think its very easy task to do voice overs. Every Saturday We conduct Free of cost Assessment Auditions at our Sound Recording Studio in Delhi for freshers who want to pursue this career, are interested in voice over training, or just want to start voice over & film dubbing work directly.
Q13. Do you also provide Voice Over training in Noida ?
A13. We provide Voice Over, Voice Modulation & Dubbing courses in South Delhi, Near Noida & Faridabad. Our Sound recording Studio is in South Delhi. The voice over artist course can be availed online as well.
Q14. What is the duration of Voice Over workshop in Delhi ?
A14. Voice Over training/ workshop is given on Individual basis. Normally it takes 1 & half to 2 months. But for people from outside Delhi we have customised the duration as per the choice of individual.
Q15. Are there enough Part time voice over jobs in Delhi ?
A15. Voice Over industry does not provide a regular job. Its a freelance career option. A lot of our artists are involved in other professions & do voice over work as an additional source of good income.
Q.18. Yuri - Hi! I'm a voice over artist in English and Hindi. Would like to register with you for VO jobs. I have a recording facility at home.
A.18. Hi Yuri, kindly send us your complete details + your voice over studio demo reel as per the link :- click here to register with our production house voice bank
Q.19.Hello,this is ......... I am interested for voice over. Got to know about your work few hours back only through random search.I have sent a sample from my mobile only. Would like to meet you. I am basically a HR professional but have craving for voice over, if I am suitable.
A.19. If you are looking for voice over work, kindly hire some studio & make a demo reel & send it to us here. Sending Mobile samples firstly shows that you are not a voice over artist. Once a studio knows that you are a fresher they will loose interest in you. Q.19a. Can this be done at your Studio ?. A19a.Yes it can be done in any studio. Studios are hired on hourly basis, our Recording studio is in South Delhi. Q.19b. Do you have a Studio in/near Noida ? A19b. We have an office near Noida but only for Voice Over Training/ Workkshops purposes for people who come from Noida or nearby areas in Delhi. For recording your demos you will have to come Malviya Nagar Recording Studio only. Q.19c. Actually I am a working women into corporate HR. Havn't ever tried voice over/dubbing but it interests me very much. I want to try my hand in it as part time/ parallel job. Dont know how and from where to start, you came as rescue and I sent you the sample. A19c. We daily get such enquires, in short if you think that you are ready for this work make your sample & send it to us. The Studio will provide you scripts or you can take your own scripts. The important thing here is In the Studio no body will guide on how to record, so be prepared that way.
Q. 20. Sir, recently I did a small 2 day voice over training workshop in hindi about which I read an ad in *** ****** times, conducted by a Radio Jockey named *******, who has trained many radio jockeys, but i couldn't learn much there as he taught about basics only.
A.20. First of all Voice Over & Radio Jockey are 2 closely related fields but still are different in many aspects. The experience of Learning depends on the fact, whether the person who taught you is a working voice over artist or not, have you seen his work ?, Have you heard any of his samples as a portfolio ? If the answer to this questions is yes then go ahead & if you cannot find any proof of his/her work, you can learn all the things free of cost on Internet. This is a performance field. Anybody can tell you ways to do modualtion, vocal exercises but when it comes to Voice Over Work, you need an ability to showcase the Talent. So don't go by any one's words of over-night success just look into his or her profile, because at some stage you will be judged after the training not by your talks but by voice over samples or work, so pay attention on work from the beginning. We regularly get samples from aspiring artists who put back ground music in demo recordings, re name their voice samples as big brand ads name, discovery channel.mp3 & so on. In a studio all such tricks are futile, in just a few seconds you will be judged by a Sound recording Engg.
Q. 21. How can Deepak Agnihotri School of Voice Over & Dubbing voiceovertraining.in can help me become a Voice Artist ?
A21. We can provide you Work, Assignments, Demo reels, Free assement auditions, & Training in Film Studio as per your need. We weekly conduct Free Auditions for aspiring people, in free feedback is given on personal basis based on your audition & On how you can take the further course of action. We make films in all Indian/ Foreign languages across the world & require VO Artists accordingly. You can have the opportunity to work with us. We also provide 1 & half months Training Program dedicated to Voice Over & Film Industry. The Training is provided on Individual basis directly by Deepak Agnihotri (having around 17 years of Experience in the same Business).
Q22. Can I send my mobile recordings to apply for this job ?
A22. The very moment you say this to a recording studio or sound enggineer it is concluded that you are not a Voice Over Artist. Record a Demo reel for your self - hire some sound recording studio & record your voice samples if you think you know how to read various scripts/ genres to showcase your talent. A voice artist is only known by his or her work in the form of voice samples. Nobody will need your CV, Certificates etc. Simply Speaking if you don't have your samples ready you are not a Voice Over Artist yet!. Secondly we don't have jobs in this Industry & its pursued in a Freelance manner.

Q24. What is a demo reel ?
A24. We come across a lot of people who apply at our Recording Studio with their youtube links, home recorded, mobile recorded voice samples, videos etc. The first sign of a Voice Artist is that they should have a Demo reel i.e. Voice samples professionally recorded in a Sound recording Studio. Having just a good voice, or language skills won’t make you qualify as a voice artiste. It’s all about knowing how to deliver the job which the client want to see in your demo reel. The Demo reel should have voice samples of small durations of 30 secs, 40sec, under a minute.
Q24. Do you provide training Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, Lucknow etc.?
A24. This is very frequently asked question, we provide work to voice over artistes all across India. But Voice Over training is currently available in Delhi only. If you can visit Delhi for a few days or minimum 2 days stay here, we offer customized 2 days workshop on personal basis at our Studio. If that is not possible either you can opt for Online training in voice over or if you still want to learn at your place, its better to find a place where you can learn things from some voice over artists. As said above the most important thing in voice over training is to ensure that the person giving you training is a Voice Artist with a proven portfolio of works in the form of Videos, audios etc. Its surprising to see that you ll come across people who are telling you things about voice over work or how to do it, but actually they don’t have a profile of their work. So join any training whether you’re in Mumbai, Bangaluru, Chennai or any other city but make sure to check the trainer’s profile.

Q25. Hi..I would like to work as voice over artist... I have been doing voice overs... Please check my youtube video, I don't have mp3s... I don't know the name of mic, but it was a Collor mic...
A25. Always send mp3 files of your studio demo reel. These days any body can record & make videos on phone & put it on youtube, it won't make you a voice artist. Approaching a Sound recording studio like this way you would rather end up look like a novice. In this Industry voice artists are selected by clients only on the basis of talent. A voice artist is one whose Portfolio speaks for itself. So trust your talent & make it visible in a professional manner, not like some next door enthusiast. The only way to judge a voice artist is his/her work. If you're not getting work, don't think you need some approach, or links in the industry. Those who are doing it, they have build it upon their talents & their work is visible.
Q.26. Are there enough voice over artistes Jobs available in Delhi?
A26. Voice over work is available & can be done online. It doesn't mean you have to be in Mumbai, Banglore, Delhi or any other metropolitan city. To some extent it can help. But these days most of the work gets done online. We have hundreds of voice artists in our voice bank from all across Indian & World.
