Along with the development of the broadcasting world, both internationally and domestically, the scope of voice acting work has been expanded and is also used in broadcasting terms. Call it radio drama and voice-over is one of the derivatives of voice acting which is now very popular in this modern era. Let's get to know some jobs related to voice acting.
1. Poetry Reader
Poetry Reader is a profession that is also a derivative of voice acting. A poetry reader uses his voice (of course) to read a poem, with a certain emphasis, tone, and intonation to convey the message contained in a poem.
In its development, poetry reading events in public were often held in bookstores, coffee shops, and cafes. Not infrequently, poetry with multiple interpretations is read by several poetry readers and listened to by a general audience who also has an interest in the world of poetry.
2. Radio Drama Actor / Actress
Radio drama actor is also a profession derived from a large umbrella voice acting. Radio drama in Indonesia reached its peak in the 1970s - early 1990s. Many radio drama actors became very popular in those years. Call it Fery Fadli, and several other big names who are alternately involved in the radio drama industry with big titles such as Saur Sepuh, Brama Kumbara, etc. Even in those years, sound studios began to appear to produce radio drama needs.
Being a radio drama actor has its challenges. A radio drama actor must have a very good theater of mind so that he can portray a character in a script without the help of any senses except the sense of the listener. A radio drama actor must have the ability to act in front of a microphone, and be proficient in playing voice emotions, and intonation. Not infrequently, a radio drama actor must master several voice tones at once to be able to play several characters at once.
3. Dubber / Voiceover Artist
Dubber or voiceover artist is a job that is also a derivative of voice acting. How come? Dubber is an artist who delivers animation videos or films or other foreign-produced films so that local audiences can understand them.
Dubber plays an important role in bringing localized films to life to suit the characters who grew up in the local environment. Almost the same as radio drama voice actors, Dubber must master several intonations and even different voice tones to be able to play several characters in a production.
4. Voice Over Talent / Voice Talent
We come to voice over talent, a profession that is growing rapidly in Indonesia. Voice-over talent, who is also often referred to as voice actor, formerly known as a narrator, is a profession that aims to distribute messages in advertisements, or company profiles so that the target audience of the voice-over product can consume them.
Voice-over talent is indirectly responsible for the engagement of voice-over products that will be distributed, so a voice-over talent must be able to turn on voice-over products that are filled.
The pandemic has made us aware that voice actors don't need to work by visiting studio sessions. However, voice actors must be able to adapt to the client's new habits, namely using voice over Internet protocol, or VoIP to conduct remote recording sessions. By adjusting the need to move forward, it is hoped that this fast-growing profession in Indonesia will find the right form to be able to stay in the game.
5. Podcaster / Podcast Host
According to the info gathered by the Inavoice.com team, podcasts on the Spotify platform will soon be monetized. As already written above, being a podcaster is almost the same as being a radio announcer, only the distribution platform is different, namely through the Internet, and can be broadcast on our demand.
There are several things to consider when creating a podcast, to broadcasting it on Spotify. Some of these things can be read through Inavoice.com's article about this podcast.
Takeaway
From the five popular voice acting jobs above, we can conclude that there is one thing in common that underlines this work, namely theater of the mind. Each voice-acting worker must be able to play a role through his voice. All these professions must learn intonation and deepening of various kinds of characters to bring the script to life to be read.
The most important similarity of the five popular voice acting jobs above is, everyone who works in the realm of voice acting must work hard to be able to convey the message of the script so that it can be conveyed well to the audience.
