Sorry about the re-upload. The last one had an audio error. This one is hopefully better!

Mike & Julia, this whole video is a must-watch imo, thank you so much for everything said. BUT thank you EVEN MORE for your stance and efforts towards accessibility and equity 🥺 as a remote talent, and one coming to terms with disability, this is so incredibly encouraging to hear! 😭💜

This was an excellent and very informative talk, thanks to you both. And Mike, I just want to say that you and your content have inspired me to take the plunge and go into audio narration. I built a booth (like you I'm not a builder) similar to the one in your older videos, bought a decently priced cardiod condenser microphone (Maono PM500) that is run through a DBX286s, and probably most importantly I've learned to use reaper for voiceover exclusively by watching your videos. In the four months since I've started I have narrated 4 audiobooks and am constantly auditioning. You have done myself and many others a great service. I hope you are doing well Mike, and thank you!

Regarding the segment of the interview in which training for video game voice actors was discussed, I believe that live theatre is exceptional training for character dialogues. I first acted in theatre in my twenties while I was the staff announcer for a television station, and it immensely enriched my everyday delivery of commercials. Theatre trains the actor to hear the other actor, regardless of the manner in which they deliver their lines, and then think and respond accordingly, I was extremely fortunate to have first studied with a fabulous visiting director from New York and to have earned a number of leading character roles. I also created characters for my drive-time radio show with which I carried on humorous conversations. When a stage actor assumes a role, it's not only their voice that represents the character but even their thought process. A stage actor actually feels their character in their body. Of course, a voice actor isn't seen and their body is somewhat restricted as far as movement, but the character's tension and emotions are nevertheless felt in their body. Gary Oldman demonstrated that process rather well in this clip: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ea-RitJep9Kmmqc.htmlsi=n5Ux_zz1GeeBu02h

Surprised this book about voice actors has no audiobook version.

I've been voice acting for 30+ years but I've been winging it, getting games, podcasts, & other gigs haphazardly by chance. It'd be nice to get steady work some day.

Wonder which Gefell she’s referring to. Not a fan of the Neumann honkyness on my voice. Perhaps Gefell hits all the right notes while remaining natural. Looking the Gefell M930. If anyone familiar with Gefell could chime in, I’d love to hear your opinions.

The m930 is meant to be similar in overall tone to the TLM103 but with a tamed top end and a bit more overall smoothness. I understand it's widely used in European radio. The UMT 70S is closer to a U87 sound, with a less wooly low end, James Arnold Taylor uses it as his go to. Podcastage did a great review on the UMT70s.

On the mic choice note, money vs what can be gained. Do not by pass the NT2-A.

My question is which voice casting sites and agents are handling most of the voice acting roles for video games. I've recently booked several roles, primarily in Eastern Europe, and they came to me through a European online voice casting site. My agents in LA, Denver, and Atlanta have sent very few video game auditions to me, even though they have my character voices demo.
