A Day in the Life of a Voice Actor

People often picture voiceover work as a quick trip into a booth to read a script. The reality is a lot more varied — and most of it happens before you ever hit record.

Auditions and self-tapes

A big chunk of the week goes into auditions — reading briefs, interpreting character notes, recording and submitting self-tapes, often for projects that may never book.

Prep and direction calls

Booked sessions usually start with a briefing or direction call to align on tone, pacing, and character before recording begins — the more specific this conversation, the smoother the session.

Recording, editing, delivery

Then it's into the booth, followed by editing and quality-checking the audio before it goes back to the client — all within a 24-hour turnaround from booking confirmation on my end.
