Are you here because of DnD? or perhaps you are one of many people who would like to work as voiceover artists but will probably never get the opportunity. Despite it being an oversaturated industry already, it's also full of extremely talented and dynamic speakers which makes the competition fiercely high when trying to get into this field.
That said, most people are only able to speak in their own voice, accent and language. Very few can make careers using multiple voices...but the ones that do make an absolute killing.
This is why it's really worth investing the time into learning how to nurture this skill properly so that you can stand out and create dynamic, eclectic but most importantly believable characters.
This video aims to help you achieve this by offering a checklist of characteristics to think about when developing your character's voice.

I am a parent, wanting to do a better job of reading story books to my kids.
-
I'm a 5 category: I'm a DnD player who's going to play a Changeling Rogue.
-
After trying out the 699840 voices, I can confirm that 102387 was by far my favourite
-
As a dungeon master, this simplifies keeping track of npc voices in my notes, ALOT! It gets hard keeping track of 50+ voices and the personalities that go with them. Being able to define a voice with a few keywords is astonishing!
-
This guy sounds like he single handedly voice acted every fable character lmao
-
I don’t about y’all but I keep getting excited every time this guy says “THERE’S MORE!!”
-
"you can do 100 distinct voices" Me, a DM: YEEEESSSSS WITH THIS POWER I WILL ENDLESSLY ENTERTAIN MY PARTY
-
So basically: systematically compartmentalize different qualities a performance can contain, then mix and match. Neato!
-
me: thinking the title was clickbait and i'm only gonna do like 5 Improve Your Voice: shows me how to do 150320^3 voices me: I was looking for copper, and found gold.
-
"I'm going to blow your socks off" looks down at my bare feet I hope he doesn't blow my feet off
-
This isn't just about learning new voices. This is motivational.
-
50% of the people here are because of DnD😂
-
“If you can master this, you’ll be working forever” Me: I’m literally just here for DnD but thank you
-
Maybe not exactly the intended purpose but I used this to figure out how to describe my characters voices in my writing.
-
As a GM for table top games this is so incredibly helpful for unique npc voices and makes it easier to write notes for their voices as well
-
This is literally the craziest tutorial I watched this year. The number of voices is astonishing. Thank you.
-
Dave Filoni: Okay, so we need a voice actor for a clone troope- Dee Bradley Baker: 200,000 voices ready, with a million more well on the way
-
You forgot about a fourth group: A DM/GM who needs to expand their range of NPC voices for their games. I'm somewhere between being a newbie and an old pro.
-
I've been struggling a bit in doing character voices in my new job, as I had only done narration before and this is SO HELPFUL! THANK YOU!!!
