Voice Acting:

Voice acting is a role where you become the voice of an animated character (only your voice is featured in a film or programme, not your face). As a voice actor you must be able to be bale to express emotions through your voice. To be a voice actor, training your voice is a very important as you shall be using it to bring out the character you are playing as, which helps bring out and create the story.

As a voice actor it is important to be punctual and dedicated to who you are playing. These responsibilities are important as making sure you bring out every part of that character when you speak as there whole personality is expresses through your voice. Being able to comfortably sing is a good skill to have as it opens up more opportunities, however it isn't a must. Having the ability to use your voice effectively is key as that is the bridge between you and the character you are playing as.

No qualifications are needed in this field of work,  but the more you have the better chances you have at being picked. Qualifications can include GCSEs to a University Degree. This is how many other actors got into voice acting.

Experience helps boost yourself to the top of the choice list in this industry. Learning acting skills helps with gaining your experience.

Voice acting is extremely competitive as loads of people with varied talent and experience are trying for the same job and there are very few jobs available at a time.

My knowledge of acting which I have built up within high school and college will help me adapt and understand the role and how to achieve a career in it.
