Welcome to Soundstage Insider, the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of the technical areas of the film and television industry. I'm your host, Jamie Muffett, and in each episode, we'll explore the fascinating world of sound design, visual effects, production design, and more. Join me as I talk to the experts in these fields, from the sound editors who create immersive soundscapes, to the visual effects artists who bring impossible worlds to life.

Recording voiceover audio from home is about more than just speaking into a microphone. Aspiring VO actors also need the proper equipment and recording space; they also need to do plenty of vocal prep. What’s more, according to voiceover casting director Terry Berland, “You need to know how to direct yourself for all your home reads.” Here, we break down what you need to have in order to start recording and the fundamentals of voice acting, plus tips for refining your technique.

More specifically, a survey conducted by and for voice actors: where they live and work, how much money they make, where do they find work, etc. Joining me on the podcast are voice actors Carin Gilfry, Joey Schaljio, Maria Pendolino, and Eric Yang to discuss the hundreds of responses that were collected from voice actors around the world.
