A voice actor's job is to make their voice expressive, clear, and engaging, whether they're playing a heroic character, narrating a documentary or promoting a product.  

It's a creative job that requires strong vocal skills, the ability to take feedback, and sometimes even acting out scenes to match the character's mood or personality.  

To become a voice actor, there aren't any specific qualifications you absolutely need, but having the right skills and training makes a big difference.

A strong voice, creativity and the ability to take direction are important.  While formal qualifications aren't required, building a demo reel/portfolio is essential to getting noticed by potential clients or agents.

Pay might be lower for beginner voice actors, as they build their skills and portfolio, with small projects paying a few hundred pounds each.  

More experienced voice actors, especially those working on big projects like video games or national TV ads, can earn thousands per job.  Some top professionals can make six-figure incomes if they're in demand.  

On average, most voice actors earn between £20k and £40k a year, but this can go up or down based on how much work they do and how successful they are.
