Voice Acting

I’ve never thought of myself as a performer. I like writing, editing, building ideas — but acting? Not really. At first, I didn’t even want to record my own voice for this project. I felt uncomfortable hearing myself, and I thought someone else could do it better.

But in the end, I did it. And it was strange… in a good way.

When I put on the headphones and stood in front of the mic, something changed. My room disappeared. I started to picture the scene in my head, and my voice followed it. I wasn’t just reading lines — I was inside the story.

I did a few takes. I tried different emotions, speeds, pauses. At some point, I even forgot I was recording. It felt like a mix between acting and sound painting.

This experience taught me something important: your voice is not fixed. It’s like a flexible tool. You can shape it, stretch it, color it, and use it to express ideas you can’t show with images.

Now I still don’t think I’m an actor. But I do think I’m starting to understand what performance means — especially when it’s only heard, not seen. There’s something intimate about that.

I’m glad I pushed myself. It made me closer to the project. It also made me respect voice artists and radio actors so much more.
