Voice actors may work in recording studios, where they record dialogue for animated films or video games. These studios are often small and soundproof, with high-quality microphones and other equipment to capture the actor’s voice. Voice actors may work alone or with other actors, depending on the project. Actors portray characters in stories such as plays, musicals, films, television shows and radio shows. They engage with the audience and convince them through altered speech patterns, hand gestures and more that they truly are the character. When necessary, actors also change their appearance such as their hair color or body weight to physically portray and embody their character.
