This is probably the most challenging aspect of what we do- conjuring the specificity and tone of a script with no other performers and no live direction! The puzzle of how to audition well alone can be quite daunting and frustrating- one of the biggest obstacles a good voice actor faces.
In addition, we voice actors are required to audition solo. You are alone, but you must imagine seeing and listening to your scene partner. A voice actor must not only perform their lines, but must also conjure their fellow performers mentally as well. VA’s regularly deliver their half of the dialogue alone in a booth. They struck me as isolated- only half of what acting is because there was no interaction. Acting for me was about listening to another and interacting, not just one person emoting in a vacuum, pontificating off into space!īut– voice actors are called upon to perform solo pretty regularly (indeed, on-camera actors must do this for their close ups or green screen acting!). I always have my Kindle on hand loaded with novels, plays and poetry so I’m good to do this anywhere, anytime!Īs a stage actor, I was never been a fan of monologues, because they didn’t really seem like acting to me. Reading out loud works vocal stamina, diction, sight reading, acting and best of all, it’s fun. I find it a great way to hone your vocal control and even expand your range of characters. Reading out loud is part of how I warm up and how I continue to develop and maintain my VO skills. I’ve assembled these “Practice Out Loud” monologues, not just to provide you vocal exercises, but also to show you part of why I love acting and how fun it can be to bring words to life!
