  • I’m an actor- mostly theatre. I’ve VO’d a handful of TV commercials. I am not a successful voice actor. It requires as much dedication, training, equipment etc as any career.

    I would recommend two things.

    1. voice classes and books in the tradition of Cecily Berry. You’ll also want to look into some phonetics/IPA work as well. People will expect you to know - for e.g. how and why a southern accent diphthongizes the vowels and which vowels it shares with GenAm vs RP.

    2. music / sound production. You may be expected to do your own noise removal, normalization, amplificiation and limiting.



  • This is twitter advice, but I assume it works.

    I had about 10k followers and about 100 likes per tweet in my heyday - but had pretty much left about a year before elon took over, and fully left when he did.

    It was a lot of work with little reward, but it was fun.

    • Post actually engaging content for your niche on a regular schedule, preferably more often than twice a day
    • you can maybe stretch to two niches on an account but likely you just want one
    • engage primarily with people in that niche
    • get to know them, build an online friendship
    • get into group dms or chats with multiple people in the same niche
    • nepotistically retweet each others stuff, publically respond favorably to it
    • unless you have a really interesting life, keep your real life out of it and focus on your niche
    • expect this process to be a committed 12 month process - so that’s at least 1000 posts, all should be high quality enough to warrant engagement.
