Identifying Different Roles Of A Voice Artist

By Jerry Wood


Those working in the vocal arts are some of the most talented people working in film, radio and television. In addition, there are other individuals whom consider oneself to be a voice artist. Some of these individuals are DJs, spoken word artists, poetry slam hosts and MCs. In all cases, those wishing to find work in this field need speak, as if writing, with good grammar and a clear voice.

Generally referred to as voice actors, the term can also indicate a person which provides voice overs for public service announcements and television. When it comes to television, these individuals can either be narrators or show hosts such as Jeff Probst, Nick Cannon and Ryan Seacrest. While DJs primarily select and play different cuts of music, many also make announcements related to news and weather. As such, these individuals are often thought to be working in the field of voice acting.

As DJs most often perform for a live radio audience, any material read on-air during a shift is often considered to be considered part of the vocal arts. Whereas, any pre-programmed commercials, public service announcements or other material played versus read is simply part of the show. In either case, the content itself is related in one way or another to those working in this field.

The term DJ now focuses on two aspects of the field. The first being the traditional disc jockey who works at a radio station. The second, being someone whom plays, spins and scratches music at festivals and nightclubs. While the latter remains extremely popular, many traditional DJs have lost work due to the creation of i-pods and CD players.

While this is a rather competitive field, individuals seeking work in this area can often find something. Whether related to a specific interest or otherwise, it can often be beneficial to take whatever jobs come along in this realm. For, doing so can often benefit one in getting more work in the future. While no degree is often required, those holding a Bachelors of Arts with a major or minor in Theater Arts are most likely going to get the best jobs.

There are a number of specialized companies which post listings on a daily basis related to this type work. To discover one of these websites and current offerings, type vocal acting into a search engine, then click on any results of interest. After which, an individual can often sign up to receive e-mails related to future opportunities in this regard.

Other individuals working in this area, while most volunteers are poetry slam hosts and MCs. Although, while most start as volunteers, MCs often later create a business by announcing at public events, festivals, weddings and other celebrations for a fee. Whereas, poetry slam hosts often collect donations for featured poets and special guests, yet take nothing for oneself in the process.

When it comes to working in this field, the best jobs are going to be found in areas in which film productions, television studios and radio stations exist. For example, there are now a number of studios located in Hollywood, Northern California and Austin, Texas. In addition, there are a number of agents looking for talent through online sites which feature current work and audition information.
