Over the past two years, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a lot of parents to explore new activities that can be completed without leaving the house. Voice acting is one such activity that can be done safely from the comfort of home, and because kids everywhere have natural acting ability, voice acting makes a good fit for many children.
How to Help Your Child Get Into Voice Acting
Here are the steps required to help your child begin to explore voice acting:
- Help your child identify their unique vocal characteristics
- Test out some character voices, from cartoon characters to radio announcers
- Record your child’s voice over demo
- Seek agency representation to find voice acting work for your child
- Continue to get lots of practice with sample scripts and voice over coaches
Should You Get Your Child Into Voice Acting?
Every child, parent, and family is unique. The decision of whether or not to get your child into voice acting is one that no one else should make for you.
However, if you’re looking to make an informed decision, there are some considerations to weigh—especially when it comes to your lifestyle, your child’s abilities, and the investment required for getting started.
How Do I Know If My Child Would Be Good At Voice Acting?
Good question!
The truth is, when it comes to starting a career in voice acting, it doesn’t matter if you’re five or 95. There’s no bad time to begin.
Some parents start wondering whether voice acting is a good fit for their child after hearing them imitate (or create) character voices, watching them in plays, or even enjoying their singing voice around the house.
There’s no doubt about it, many children naturally possess abilities that could make voice acting a good fit. Some examples of abilities and qualities that transfer over into voice acting include:
- An extensive imagination
- Openness to learning new things
- Ability to focus on pronunciation
- Creativity, especially when it comes to becoming a character
Consider Your Child’s Resiliency and Level of Interest
Children who thrive in voice acting not only enjoy the performance aspect but also possess an interest in developing their abilities.
It is worth noting, however, that part of developing a voice acting career is learning to deal with rejection. Even the most skilled and successful voice actors find that they are not right for every part or every client, and as such, not every audition is successful. This might be particularly difficult for children because they don’t yet have the life experience or emotional maturity needed to keep the audition process in perspective.
With this in mind, it can be incredibly helpful to hire a coach who can teach your child about the process and positively reinforce their development.
Investment of Time and Resources to Start a Voice Acting Career
Just like any other activity that you may enroll your child in, voice acting requires practice, equipment, and education or coaching.
Voice acting is a craft and a profession, like any other. To become highly skilled, people of all ages invest both time and money into training.
Hiring a Child Voice Over Coach and/or Enrolling in Voice Acting Classes
As we mentioned above, hiring a voice acting coach or joining voice acting classes can be crucial to helping both beginning and established voice actors grow their careers. Sourcing a coach who works with children and will be a good fit for your child can take some time—but when you find the right person, it’s worth it.
Recording Your Child’s Voice Over Demo
Demos are essential to starting a voice acting career.
There are a number of best practices for creating a great voice over demo, as well as a couple of options on getting one recorded. For instance, some voice actors opt to work with a recording studio and producer to get the demo done, while others may cut their demo in their own home studio.
Which brings us to…
Setting Up a Home Studio For Voice Acting
You may also choose to invest in a home studio. While this doesn’t have to be as expensive as setting up a professional-grade studio (many voice actors get professional sound with free software and thrifty hardware purchases), it can take some research to find what will work best for your space.
Investing Time: Practicing and Auditioning For Child Voice Over Jobs
One other consideration is the time investment. Professional voice actors audition for several hours a week (or even dozens of times each day) in order to continue to earn work.
Note: If you find that you’re auditioning frequently with poor results, you might benefit from an audition diagnosis or review.
Types of Jobs For Child Actors
Young voices are definitely sought after in the world of voice acting. Some of the projects that young voices are hired for include TV commercials, audiobook narration, cartoon characters, and more.
Getting an agent is a great way to navigate the industry and find voice acting jobs that are a good fit for your child.
It’s important to remember that auditioning is an ‘opt-in’ process. You and your child are not required to audition or take any job except for the ones that you’re truly excited about.
There is a return to authentic children’s voices instead of just voices that can sound younger than they are. Consider the voice of Walt Disney’s Pinocchio, the late Dick Jones, who was just 10 years old when he voiced the role of Pinocchio. If you can imagine, he already had 40 movies to his credit!
Getting a Head Start in Voice Acting
Getting into voice acting while you’re young is a great way to hone your skills and familiarize yourself with the different styles of voice acting in preparation for your future career aspirations.
You must be 18 years old to audition for jobs on our platform. However, the resources featured on our site—including our library of sample scripts and the Beginner’s Guide to Voice Acting—are accessible to anyone, and we encourage you to make use of them to hone your skillset.
Once you’re old enough to start auditioning for jobs on our platform, you can get started by signing up for a Voices account.

My kids ages 16 & 9 work regularly. It started with my teen daughter, I attended the classes with her, and she convinced me to try a demo, then little brother wanted to do it too. The thing is to make it fun and diffuse the pressure of “winning” an audition. Its really great family time for us.
Most of the recording is done from our home studio, but they occasionally work in commercial studios. I went against conventional wisdom and made a family voice over web site rather than one for each of us. At first it was a cost issue but I have found we stand out from the crowd. Also clients who go to our site for me for instance will see the kids and vs versa, we have all gotten work from clients that started with another one of us.
I love it when I get to work with my family on voice overs. I’m so proud of my boys when they get a gig and I enjoy coaching and engineering their auditions and jobs.
Half of the jobs I’ve gotten over the last year have been with my husband or one of my sons, or both!
Some clients have definitely appreciated our package deal. They only have to communicate with one studio for all the work, and I think they can hear a genuine connection between the characters.
It’s especially been great for children’s stories where I can cast various characters given the actors in my own household.
I will say that my boys are NOT nearly as excited about auditioning as I am. We try to pace out their auditions and their recording times. They just don’t do well after 8-10 minutes.
In terms of their compensation, we take a small percentage for studio/editing time (10%) and have them give away 10% to worthy cause, then we place the rest of their earnings in a savings account or investment for when they come of age.
At least, this is how we do it now. Perhaps when they get older and learn to edit their own work, things may change.
Overall I’m so proud of everyone.

I am a 14 year old girl and have a clear voice and I really want to do voice over…..
Hi Ananya,
Sign up for a Voices account to post your voice over demos and begin auditioning for voice over work!
I want to be a voice actor.
Hey Toby,
If you want to get into voice acting, signing up for a Voices talent account and uploading your demos is a good place to start.
Yes me too
You don’t have to have just clear voice to do voice over. Husky voices are also need it. Anyone can do voice over.
My six year old got her first PAID voice over today reading a line for a Hooked on Phonics direct response radio ad through a direct response agency that regularly uses me. She did a great read and nailed it. I am thrilled for her but I think I need more information about how to set up her finances so that we are compliant with entertainment laws.
I was impressed with her ability to mimic, take direction and bring enthusiasm to the read. She’s been in studios with me since before birth so it’s kind of in her genes!
I am a trained actor and I was wondering how to get work.
I have always enjoyed trying to do impressions. One of my first voiceover jobs was doing an Elvis GPS voiceover for pigtones.com. My son Jared has picked up this interest in doing impressions and I got him a job with this client doing a Captain Jack Sparrow GPS voiceover.
There is a bible passage that says “train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” I guess that might apply to voiceovers as well.
Hi! We live in the UK, near London. Could you tell me the nearest voice coach. My 11 year old loves to talk and do voices and has often expressed an interest in doing voice overs. Can you help? Thanks lynne
Love the article! I’ve been working with my son for some time now, and this information surely helps. He’s got a good demo reel, and i’ve sent it where I could, but have struggled to take it to the next step.
My kid has wanted to do this, but we haven’t understood how to get into it. This blog helps a lot, thank you!
I wish I could be a voice actor like my favourite voice actor. I need to tell my parents first.
I am researching voice acting for my nephew who is 13 and highly functioning autistic. A super kid. He lost his dad to cancer in April 2015 and uses character voices and games in his own way to cope, but he did imitations before that. A few months back when I was spending time with him he told me he wanted to be a voice actor. If that doesn’t work he wants to be a scientist. Academically he does well. He has been reading at a college level for almost 2 years.
Thanks for the great tip about hiring a voice acting coach to teach kids about the industry and reinforce their development. Aside from the coach, I believe that they should also be enrolled in acting classes. With their help, they can help start a kid’s career. Also, their work can help them explore how to be an actor too.
I am a kid I would love
too be a voice actor.
Hey there Lazaius! That’s super cool. You should totally check out this article about how to get into voice acting: https://www.voices.com/blog/starting-voice-acting-career/

Enter your comments *I am eleven I want to be a voice actor how can I sing online and see a coach to train me in I live in Nigeria at akwa ibom state
Hello!
First of all, to find a vocal coach, I’d recommend doing a google search of “[your area] + vocal coach.”
When you’re filling out your profile, you can also list any of the unique vocal capabilities you possess – for example, whether or not you speak with an accent. You can list the ability to speak in a West African (Nigerian) accent directly on your profile. That way, clients will have an easier time finding you when they’re seeking your specific vocal qualities for a project.
We also have a YouTube channel packed with videos that should guide you as you set up a profile and get started on Voices.
Best of luck on your voice acting journey,
Oliver

I am a 10-year-old girl, and I’ve always wanted to voice a character in a movie. My friends always compliment me on how versatile my voice is, and I’m always playing various characters on their choppy animated short films. However, I haven’t talked this through with my parents, and I’m not sure if they’ll approve. I really want to work in the film industry, but I don’t know how I’ll be able to start.
Also, my parents usually don’t take these things seriously, so buying equipment and creating a makeshift home studio might not happen.
Hi Hesper,
It sounds like you really have a knack for voice acting! It’s also very impressive to hear that, although you’re still young, you’re already thinking ahead and have an idea of the career path you’d like to pursue.

I would cry in my kitchen, listening to this child practice opera.
I am currently a 13, almost 14 year old, and I’ve always been interested in animation and voice acting. I love the idea of being a potential voice actor, but I’m not sure if I have a great voice, and I’d be kind of embarrassed to tell my parents about it because even though they’d probably support me, I don’t know if they’ll think I’m really considering the idea, as many kids dream of being a famous singer, actor, dancer, etc. I’m trying to do lots of research and learn about this profession to see if this really could be something I could do, but I don’t know how, when, or even if, it’s a good idea to ask/talk to my parents about it… Am I crazy for even considering the idea of voice acting with absolutely no experience or coaching? How do I know if this is something I really want to do, or if it’s just a fake/unrealistic want?
Hey Nora,
There’s nothing fake or unrealistic about your voice acting aspirations. Of course, as with many different lines of work, voice acting does require a lot of hard work and determination. The good news, however, is that you can always try your hand at voice acting without the need to make a huge commitment. You can sign up for voice over marketplaces like Voices with just the click of a button, enabling you to submit auditions from home, begin establishing an online presence through your talent profile, and even record your voice using a mobile device like your phone.
We also have a ton of great resources that will help familiarize you and your parents with the industry and our website. Check out the Beginner’s Guide to Voice Acting, our YouTube channel, and our Mission Audition podcast! Mission Audition will really show you how many different types of voice over are out there, and all the different ways that people are able to find a way to make a living doing what they love.

Hi! I really want to be a voice actor. I love tv and have seen a few shows where most of the cast are kids. The bad part is that I can’t find anywhere to audition and most of the big tv show companies I dream of auditioning into one day are in places like Toronto which is far from America. Do you think I should start small and forget about big companies since I’m a beginner and my chances of being in tv shows are pretty slim?
Hi K.K,
One of the great things about voice acting in today’s world is that it’s easy to cut your teeth in the industry no matter where you’re based, just as long as you have a microphone and an internet connection. My advice would be to audition for productions on online platforms like Voices.com, so you can gain some experience and work your way up to larger projects.

Hey, my name’s Landon, I’m 12 years old, and I was wanting to do voice acting, but I have no clue where to start. I’m in PA, and I was looking for some small opportunities. I figured you guys would point me in the right direction, I have no relatance to anything, so you could say I am the starter of the starters. I just love doing voice impressions, singing, etc. And my sister suggested voice acting. What do you think I could do?
Hi Landon,
The first thing you should do is talk to your parents about deciding to pursue voice acting. I think that the answer depends on your unique situation. You know your parents best.
In general, if you’d like to supply them with information on what voice acting is and how people get started, you can point them to our blog post on getting started in voice acting: https://www.voices.com/blog/starting-voice-acting-career/, and/or our beginner’s guide https://www.voices.com/help/beginners-guide-to-voice-acting – each of which help to detail all of the considerations that go into voice acting, from training, to tech required, career opportunities available to voice actors and more.
Best of luck in your decision,
Andrew

Hello my daughter is currently 8 years old has come to me with an interest of becoming a voice actress. My major concern she does take a bit to remember lines and she is diagnosed with ADHD do you know of any voice actress or actors that are currently good at this just to put my mind at ease that she too can be good.
Hello Loretta!
At its foundation, ADHD is another unique way that human brains function. There are more successful entertainers and actors with the same diagnosis than I can even count! In today’s age, there are many resources available to kids with a dream, just like your daughter, that help them learn how to harness the unique skills that comes with their ADHD diagnosis, actually.
You and your daughter have inspired a conversation around here – we will look into writing about such diagnoses in relation to successful practices that help people like your daughter shine!
Thank you so very much for asking such important questions and helping us see where we can expand on our blog. Subscribe to our blog and watch for the new piece sometime in the next few months!

How do I Seek agency representation to find voice acting work for my child
Hi Ann,
Sorry we weren’t able to speak directly to your question within the blog. We know all about non-union work, and unfortunately can’t speak to how to find agency representation for your child. I would imagine Googling “talent agency” in your local area would give you access to a few agencies whom you could call to ask these questions of!
Best of luck,
Niki
My daughter is 11 turning 12 this month (February 2022) she’s really interested in doing voice overs. Please help.
I am a 12 year old girl and I wanted to become a voice actress for anime I was told I couldn’t do it. I was wondering if you could give me any advice>
Hi Kate. Our Complete Guide to Voices for Talent is a great start. Happy auditioning!
I’m still not getting the answers I was hoping for. I would like to see if I could get a job using my voice, either reading audio -books, or the Bible, or any of the classic books that I loved since childhood, like C. S. Lewis, & Tolkien! I’m disabled, but I’d be happy to rejoin the workforce, if I possibly can!
Hey Gwen! Reading our How to Start Voice Acting: Making a Career Choice in 2023 blog will be a good place to start! https://www.voices.com/blog/starting-voice-acting-career/
