Character

Voice acting is acting. It requires no less effort for an animated character performance than live action acting does and is just as demanding artistically. Some people argue that it is even more difficult as it requires the voice over actor to perform the character without any of the assistance of props, other actors, or costumes. It takes skill, dedication, range, and practice to bring a character to life using just one’s voice. A voice over actor needs to be able to embody the character completely, and know exactly what they are thinking in addition to how they speak.

A voice actor lending their voice to a character needs to do more than just be clear in their speech, although that is still a very important quality. They need to be comfortable enough in front of a microphone and in themselves to not just sound natural while recording the script, but to also completely embody the character without hesitation and to not let their performance be muddled by self-doubt. No one wants to listen to a character talk that is very obviously just someone reading words off a page.

Authenticity, believability, and an ability to engage. These are what character’s voices need to possess in order to captivate and convince an audience. These are the abilities a voice actor needs to have mastered.
