The Voice Realm\u2019s blog team had a short interview with the gifted voice actor. Let\u2019s see what he has said straight from the shoulder:<\/p>\n\n

How William got into voice over<\/h2>\n\n\n
    \n
  1. When did you become part of the voice over world?<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Since 2012, I took a local voice over workshop and found out I had talent and loved doing it. Then in April 2016, I was looking to have access to more auditions and clients and so I joined The Voice Realm.<\/p>\n

    2. How do you find doing your voice recordings at home?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    It’s the best! I love working on my own time, and having the freedom to get things done when I need to. It’s nice to be able to respond to an international \"A<\/a>client whenever they contact me, so I am able to work on jobs at all times of the day. It’s not difficult for a self-starter and self-motivator. As long as you treat it like a full-time job and a business, you won’t go wrong.<\/p>\n\n

    3. You\u2019ve been with us since 2016. What can you say about The Voice Realm?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    It’s really a no frills type of thing and its website is a very simplified platform, which is a nice thing. At least every month, I get 3 to 4 jobs.<\/p>\n

    4. What do you like the best about The Voice Realm?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    The Support team is 10\/10. They are extremely responsive and helpful! I also have a number of clients who give me repeat business through the site which is the ultimate goal! I appreciate that the yearly fee is slightly lower than most platforms, and it’s commensurate to the jobs on the site.<\/p>\n

    5. Where do you see the future of the voice over industry going? <\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    Only up, this is one of the best industries to be in by far.<\/p>\n

    6. How likely are you to recommend The Voice Realm and why?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    Very likely, I\u2019ve already recommended it to some of my VO friends previously. <\/span><\/p>\n

    7. How long do you see yourself staying with The Voice Realm?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    As long as there are jobs being posted, and it’s cost-effective.<\/p>\n
