What It's Like To...
John Malone episode encore + where is Elizabeth now?
Elizabeth explains why she's replaying the episode, "What It's Like to be a Voice Actor" with John Malone (hint: she's away on vacation--but there's more to it than that); and gives a behind-the-scenes look at what went on during the taping of John's interview.
Show notes from John's episode:
A voice actor can be a silly animated bear one day, the voice on a luxury car commercial the next day, and ALL the characters in an audio book the following day. On this episode, John Malone--an award-winning professional voice talent--shares what it takes to do his job... and do it well: from what a home recording studio should include, to how he finds the voices for his wide-ranging repertoire.
There are two words in the job title: voice actor--and both are critical to success! The acting part is huge; this job is not just about having a "good voice." It also takes a lot of hustle and a lot of training and a lot of hard work. If you think this is an easy money, work-from-home-in-your-pajamas type of job... think again.
John has an inspiring story of shifting to this career mid-life that may inspire you to re-think your path as well.
