Hi there! As an new voice actress, I know I need a demo reel to show casting directors, but I don't exactly have many voice acting credits to my name as of yet.

Expand commentHi Katie, for a VO demo reel, you can pick your copy from anywhere. You don't have to choose characters you've performed in "previous projects." For live action actor showreels, it's much better if you're pulling video files from movies/TV shows you were cast in, rather than filming from scratch. But in VO, it's normal for the actor and her coach/producer to find copy, perform it, record, mix = create a demo reel. Play to your own strengths.

Expand commentDitto Regina's comments. If I were looking for a VO actor and listened to reels in order to find one, I'd want to hear as many examples of different voices as possible. In that context, while I may give a bit more weight to voices from a completed project, it will be the overall mix of voices and the nature and quality of the particular performances which would be most important to me.
