I have been told, on multiple occasions, that I have a strong sense of justice. Somehow I doubt that’s a good thing, as all it’s done is get me in trouble.
Also have been told that I have a voice for radio. I was born about twenty years too late for that to be relevant, I always reply. “Start a podcast!” they say. I tell them I tried and it failed because I can read from a script great, but I have zero ability to be witty.
You should submit voice samples to casting agencies that land voice over talent for commercials, and other media formats.
You don’t need an agent or anything of the sort to get started, just a decent sample of your vocal work.
Get it submitted wherever you can, you’ll never know what might come of it.
I was a post production supervisor in Los Angeles for a bit. I worked with VO talent, many of whom had entirely separate careers.
One guy was a bus operator & rode his bus to the studio after shift change. He was awesome.
Yes, me too! The justice part. I am very principled. And it is something that I, sometimes (?) hate about myself. I think it mostly drives people away.
I figure many people on Lemmy are the same in that regard, very principled people.
This sounds like something you could fix with practice. Maybe try reading books out loud. People with pleasant voices can also make audio books, although I don't know how much they pay.
Are you vegan?
No, but I (kinda) get it.
