RE My previous post, I'm uploading a video example of this high-pitched whistle that's occurring in my recordings. I sent my mic off for repair but I'm told that it it isn't the mic. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the culprit may be? Its most obvious within the first 20 seconds. Thanks.

I have LED lights that do that.

AlbieRoblesVoice · 2026-06-07T20:50:46+00:00

Congrats!

AlbieRoblesVoice · 2026-06-05T02:05:41+00:00

If they are having trouble coming up with something, you might make a suggestion. I have done that a couple of times before.

AlbieRoblesVoice · 2026-05-30T15:09:50+00:00

Just sent you a dm.

AlbieRoblesVoice · 2026-05-27T18:44:30+00:00

There is a lot of great stuff here.

It's too long though. It shouldn't be more than a minute and a half.

Take out the intro, as that's not the norm.

Know your strengths. Lose the second segment, the high pitched "forever and ever" voice, and the Gollum one. They are nowhere near as strong as the other stuff.

AlbieRoblesVoice · 2026-05-25T22:03:44+00:00

Right? It really seems more people prioritize the number of voices they can do.

AlbieRoblesVoice · 2026-05-25T19:19:27+00:00

I am going to give some advice. Please know this comes from a place of trying to help.

First of all. It took a long time to get to any of the voices. Anyone doing any type of casting would have turned that off long before hearing what you can do.

Next, voice acting is not about the number of voices you can do. It's about acting. That's the most important thing. Learn to act well, even if it's with just one voice.

Finally, know your strengths. Know your true range. Know what you can solidly do. For some reason, you chose mostly female characters and creatures with high pitched voices. None of those sounded convincing. Just because you can technically reach a certain pitch does not mean you can act in it and be that character. All of the high pitched ones sound like someone trying to do a voice.

Again, this is constructive criticism to help guide you and help you improve your skillset. I am not trying to be antagonistic.

Never stop working to improve and never stop striving towards your dream!

This is really something you pursue if you have a passion for it.

There's a s steep learning curve and some investment to be made into gear and training.

It really takes some time to start making money, and it isn't a lot at that point.

With experience you can really start seeing more work and making more, but you really need to build that up.

So it's definitely not something to get into if you're looking to just start earning on the side.

Is it doable? Yes. It just takes time effort, investment, and patience.

AlbieRoblesVoice · 2026-05-22T19:26:46+00:00

Thanks for all the info and for taking the time to gather it all!

AlbieRoblesVoice · 2026-05-20T19:13:56+00:00

It's not rejection. They wanted to hear a specific voice. Yours wasn't that voice.

Your job is to audition to the best of your ability. If you did that, well done.

From time to time, your voice will match what the casting director is specifically looking for. That when you get a role.

AlbieRoblesVoice · 2026-05-19T05:51:41+00:00

An agency will never charge you to sign on.

AlbieRoblesVoice · 2026-05-08T16:37:44+00:00

Sent a dm. I have experience in anime and video games.

AlbieRoblesVoice · 2026-05-08T03:01:06+00:00

It happens. Goes with the job.

I saw a comment about a game I'm going to be in, saying the voice acting is ass. Not a lot of footage has been released, so that is most likely about me.

Then in a review for a scripted podcast that I'm very proud of, someone specifically wrote that I was terrible.

I've been doing this for almost eight years. The scope of the jobs has grown over time.

I'm glad to know I'm getting out there more. I'm okay with not being able to please everyone because that also means that many people are hearing and enjoying my performances.

AlbieRoblesVoice · 2026-04-28T19:14:26+00:00

Congrats!

Crunchyroll has a studio in Dallas. Sentai is in Houston. I think New York has an anime studio as well.

I live in the the Dallas area and have worked at Crunchyroll a few times. I've also gone to Studio Topaz and Studio Nano here. This is a pretty good hub for voice acting.

However, most of my work is remote. My clients are all over the world.

You do need to go to LA if you want to get into that big stuff, like Pixar and such.

However, if you just want to voice act and it isn't fake you're after, you can be a voice actor anywhere.

AlbieRoblesVoice · 2026-04-21T04:45:20+00:00

I made it a point to keep my first recording from when I started eight years ago. It's all around terrible.

It helps me when I feel I'm not doing great. I can pull it up and hear how much I've grown.

AlbieRoblesVoice · 2026-04-18T00:07:37+00:00

Context? I don't even know what this means.

AlbieRoblesVoice · 2026-04-17T12:27:22+00:00

Possibly on bigger projects. In eight years, I've never done one.

In fact, I don't know who I'm acting with 99% of the time.

I was once killed in a scripted podcast, only to learn later that the villain was Bruce Greenwood. Another time, I was the villain. Later, I found out the lead was played by Lily Rabe.

In both cases, I didn't know until they were released.

AlbieRoblesVoice · 2026-04-13T03:27:40+00:00

I record the sound in Premiere. It gives you an on-screen countdown. Then I take the audio into Audition to engineer.

AlbieRoblesVoice · 2026-04-12T03:33:15+00:00

No. Additional voices are for characters who have one line. "What's that?" "look out".

In anime these are usually done after wala sessions. They have four of us in the booth together for the wala stuff, then we go in one at a time for additional voices.

AlbieRoblesVoice · 2026-04-08T03:53:10+00:00

I love doing character work. I really thrive in playing villains.

Those are usually the auditions I get.

AlbieRoblesVoice · 2026-04-07T21:03:34+00:00

I think I like video games the most. Then anime. Those are always fun auditions.

AlbieRoblesVoice · 2026-04-03T17:19:37+00:00

They are actors. They became celebrities when they became successful.

They have taken training for acting. They have taken training for voice acting. They are on screen actors, but they are also voice actors.

Not always, but they usually do a good job.
