Hello hello, I'm looking for a voice actor to narrate a story I wrote for my best friend's birthday. She is a huge BROCKHAMPTON fan, and we actually went to their concert back in 2018 where she saw Matt Champion use his inhaler and thought that it was the most adorable thing in the world. (Weird. I know. But everyone’s…

Hello fellow voice actors! So I just applied to voicebunny. I am aware how difficult it is to be accepted however I was rejected for just one reason.

Hey I’m wondering if anyone else experienced this, but I’m realizing that I get really bad anxiety whenever I attempt to self tape.

Hi everyone!

Whenever I see actors (Martin Freeman and Cate Blanchett come to mind) doing anxious roles/scenes, I can't help but notice how, even though they do a really good job at seeming anxious, they also seem maintain impeccable bodily/facial coordination.
