Famous Actors Doing Voice Overs…

December 3rd, 2009

So…. For years it always rubbed me the wrong way when I’d see famous actors getting these awesome Voice Over roles for big Disney or Pixar animated movies or series…or for major, national ad campaigns. I always thought that the famous actors should just stay in their own field and leave the “voice over” jobs to the Voice Over pros.

But recently it hit me. Since I’ve really started blogging and coaching so much more…I’ve been heavily emphasizing that this is Voice Over ACTING…Not just a disconnected voice, over some cartoon or visual imagery. It’s ACTING…and in the truest form!

So…That being said…I guess I really have no right to be upset or deny a fellow actor the right to practice his or her craft. We’re all in the same pool…just different areas. And if you really want to look at it as: “The glass is half full”, this is really a great wake up call to a lot of the seasoned voice actors to step it up…go back to get some more training/coaching…expand your offerings, etc.

Whatever the case… Don’t let this deter you from pursuing the dream and becoming the absolute best and most successful Voice Actor you can be! Bring on ALL contenders! Famous actors or not!  :)
