And in a world without heroes, as the movie trailer voice-over guy might say, the slightly awkward can be slightly cool.
Adam Brody
I love the freedom of voice-over and the ability to play multiple characters I could never play in real life: a hot young woman, a little boy.
Alex Borstein
I like voice-over in films, and most of my films have been voice-over films.
Alexander Payne
I'm really comfortable doing voice-overs, but it's really fun to do animation. Those animation talents are hysterical. They're so good, and they're so amazingly quick on their feet.
Amy Hill
When I started out in Canada, I did a lot of voice-overs and commercials.
Andrea Martin
I try to go out for everything. I go out for any acting stuff that comes up, and voice-over stuff.
Andy Kindler
I'm happy to do voice-overs. I always have a good time doing them. I like to explore vocal nuance and accents and different people, different personalities. In a way, it is a lot more freeing than having your face up there.
Anjelica Huston
I would love to be doing more voice-over work. It's such a fun and free playground to take risks, play around, and get sort of ridiculous.
Ari Graynor
I just want to get into the action. And voice-over work is all action.
Bridgit Mendler
I know now that I want to do more voice-over projects. They really have the ability to transport you into the world of whatever movie it is you are working on.
The cool thing about doing a voice-over into a different language is that you get to bring the character of your own culture into it.
I want to get into voice-overs.
Carnie Wilson
I probably would be continuing to do voice-overs, continuing to do cartoon shows, and at the same time I'd probably be on a sitcom or a dramatic television show.
Casey Kasem
I had never really done voice-over. If you've ever seen me, I'm more the communicator through body language and movement... I'm a physical actor.
Daniel Logan
I remember seeing 'Aladdin' when I was five or six and loving it. I looked at the big screen and said to my mum, 'Whatever this Genie guy does, I want to do.' Mum said I couldn't be a genie, but that Robin Williams, who did the voice-over in the film, was an actor. So I said, 'OK, then, I want to be an actor.'
Darren Criss
Really, voice-over is great. If it paid as much as on camera work, it's all I'd ever do.
Diedrich Bader
I can do lovers. I can do Sir Galahad types. I'm not going to limit myself in voice-overs to irascible old men.
Ed Asner
The beauty of voice-over work is that maybe you come in and record once every two weeks for a couple of hours and do a couple episodes a session. It's awesome! You spend an afternoon playing in the booth, and there you have it. It doesn't interfere with much.
Emmanuelle Chriqui
I love doing voice-over. It's so fun.
I probably became an actor because of my vivid imagination, and doing voice-over really sort of takes me back to that.
Eric Stonestreet
I was always talking in weird voices from the time I was two. I guess I just found a way to keep doing it! I did get a degree in theater and took some voice-over classes... but most of it is just the same stuff I was doing as a kid!
I did get a degree in theater and took some voice-over classes.
Although there was a screenplay, the actors never knew what questions I was going to ask them, and all of my character's voice-over narration and scenes were added after the fact.
I had no intention of ever doing voice-overs. I wasn't opposed to them; I just didn't have any particular knowledge of how or why people do that.
But with voice-over on a reality TV show, I think I'm pretty up there, maybe one of the best. It's a confidence boost, which helps my stand-up because I'll try more interesting stuff.
I enjoy voicing even though I am not a voice-over artist.
I'm hoping to have a huge future in voice-overs. For years, people have said, 'I recognized your voice before I recognized your face!'
I did commercials and voice-overs as a kid, and it just lead to musical theatre opportunities.
When I was growing up, I was so fascinated by Mel Blanc and all of the different voices that he did for 'Looney Tunes' and watching Robin Williams record voice-over for the genie in 'Aladdin.' It always seemed to be a major honor - something you have to earn. Like people trust you when they want to have you there without seeing you.
Live-action has always been my focus and my passion. I love voice-over, and I definitely could see myself doing some voice-over, as much as I could, and even if I ended up doing only that for the rest of my life, and I could be successful at it, that would be great. But I think my real dream is to do films and live-action films.
You have to do all kinds of things like voice-overs, corporate gigs, and edit videos to support yourself.
I did my acting performance in 'Roger Rabbit.' I think I did a voice-over also in 'Osmosis Jones' and I directed an episode of my show years ago, 'Tales from the Crypt' and that's my endeavors in the non-producer oriented ranks.
I find there is room in music to talk with music. It may expand ways people can participate with music. It doesn't sound hokey or like some kind of voice-over.
I love doing voiceover work. I started doing voiceover work when I had just dropped out of school, and the first few professional jobs I got were plays, but then I started making money doing voice-overs.
I loved the opportunity to just transform my voice. I loved the idea of doing impressions and mimicking and playing around with the spectrum of your own voice. That's what I enjoy most about doing voice-overs.
It really depends, but, generally speaking, just because of the mechanics of it, voice-over is easier because there is no hair, no makeup, no wardrobe, no fittings, no line memorizing. You don't have to me woken up in Russia at 6 in the morning and go film a scene. It's just easier on the body, the family life to do voice-overs.
I'm super and very openly obsessed with voice-over. 'In a World...' was my love letter to the industry of voice-over. And in a way, I sometimes think of it as a 93-minute audition to the voice-over industry to say, 'Hey. Consider me!'
I went to drama school in England, and you spend your first year working on the muscles surrounding the vocal mechanisms. You learn how you support it and create characters through your voice so that became an obsession. So I went to Hollywood thinking, 'Oh, I'm going to be one of the great voice-over artists.'
I always hear I have the voice-over voice.
I don't like the term 'voice-over.'
I love doing voice-over. It's one of my favorite things.
One of the things that I'm realizing is that in voice-over work, you have to actually do more work with your facial muscles and your mouth. You have to kind of exaggerate your pronunciation a little bit more, whereas with live action, you can get away with mumbling sometimes.
I haven't done much voice-over work, but I enjoy it. I'm hoping to do more in the future.
I was going to be the next big voice-over thing, of course, in my mind. I didn't.
On-camera stuff just hit. I decided to do it to supplement my voice-over career, but I ended up falling in love with it, and it actually hit a lot harder than my voice-over career.
With voice-over, you have to pretend like you're three, except you can talk and read.
Definitely in voice-over, you have to be completely uninhibited. More than that, you have to put yourself back into the enjoyment of pretending.
My first proper credit was a small voice-over on an episode of 'The Sopranos' when I was, like, 11 or 12.
In an average week I'll be testing recipes, doing a voice-over, filming and writing. I cram everything in Monday to Friday because I refuse to give up the weekend.
I went from buying my own condominium and a car for myself when I was 17 on 'The Facts of Life' to not being able to pay my rent. I was at the unemployment office all the time. I had to sell my record collection just to make ends meet. And then I started getting these voice-over jobs.
