- Collaborate with people who complement your skills.
Pro: Eugene Mirman (“Bob’s Burgers”)
“If what you want to do is voiceover and you don’t think you’re a great writer, there’s probably someone who’s a writer who would love somebody to perform their scenes. There’s probably an animator who would love to be an animator but needs actors and writers. The truth is you have to find like-minded people to collaborate with.”
- The best part of voiceover acting is that there are no limitations.
Pro: Maya Rudolph (“Big Mouth”)
“The joy of doing voiceover [acting] and animation [is] you can really be anything…. In the world of comedy, for me, what I like trying to go after is finding the thing that creates a character that’s got some sort of a goofy joy.”
- Always keep your dreams alive.
Pro: John Roberts (“Bob’s Burgers”)
“Art is definitely something that’s going to make this a better world. Don’t let that part of you die. Keep finding ways to tell stories and get your voice out there and change people’s minds through art and good music and theater and all that stuff. Dream very big. Don’t let anyone take your dreams away. Don’t let anyone tell you no.”

Great advice and insight, Tammy Hunt! Thanks for sharing them.
"If what you want to do is voiceover and you don’t think you’re a great writer, there’s probably someone who’s a writer who would love somebody to perform their scenes." I've written scenes for actors (not voiceover actors yet). They haven’t been filmed yet, but once they are, it'll be a win-win since we'll be able to add the scenes to our portfolios.

This is tremendous advice for actors and other artists looking to collaborate. I produced radio commercials at the beginning of my career and working with voice actors was such a joy and always very cool.

I was a voice agent in the 90s and some of the talent I repped were incredible talents. I hade one guy who had 5 different demos - all with different voices. You’d never know it was the same person. I was going to give him 5 different names and put each name on my roster!
