We’re chatting with \u201cThe Voice Over Family\u201d, from Cuenca, Ecuador. They share more about voice acting for kids from their voice acting journey with their 14 and 12 years old kids, Mateo and Emilio. <\/span>[\/vc_message][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”7″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading text_weight=”900″ uncode_shortcode_id=”715728″]<\/p>\n [\/vc_custom_heading][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text text_lead=”small”]Hernan:<\/strong> Silvia and I run an audiovisual production company called Pangea.tv<\/a> and we\u2019ve been voice acting for at least 10 years, so that\u2019s our background in this industry.<\/span><\/p>\n A few years ago, Emilio’s school asked us for a video,\u00a0 and I said it would be cool if he did the voice of the video, and the final product was really good.<\/span><\/p>\n It was at that moment we realized that not only Emilio enjoyed it a lot, but he was good at it. So we then decided to open up a Fiverr profile, and his voice began to get a lot of attention. Afterwards, Mateo also started to get interested, so he was the last one to record his demo.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”7″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image media=”94866″ media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” uncode_shortcode_id=”163151″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_custom_heading text_weight=”900″ uncode_shortcode_id=”486445″]<\/p>\n [\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text text_lead=”small”]Hernan:<\/strong> We realized that it was better to sell ourselves as a community. Because it\u2019s definitely a team effort. We as parents pay our own kids and divide the expenses. For example: thanks to this, they even bought a playstation.<\/span><\/p>\n Silvia:<\/strong> Somehow that gratification has helped them take it more seriously. They have also done online courses, and it is something that they like, it catches their attention and we help them deepen that. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”7″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading text_weight=”900″ uncode_shortcode_id=”153828″]<\/p>\n [\/vc_custom_heading][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text text_lead=”small”]Mateo:<\/strong> I think so, it had a lot of influence not only on a professional level, but also on the things we enjoy doing. Sometimes I think that if it weren’t for the voice over world, we wouldn\u2019t even have a profession to begin with. If we grow without knowing how to do anything, it would be more difficult to adapt to life as an independent adult.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”7″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image media=”94868″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”184635″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_custom_heading text_weight=”900″ uncode_shortcode_id=”206201″]<\/p>\n [\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text text_lead=”small”]Mateo:<\/strong> I’m still not sure what I want to do when I grow up, but I do keep in mind that speaking and acting in general are going quite well for me, so it could be a path to take.<\/span><\/p>\n Emilio:<\/strong> I would like to take voice over as a second profession, along with some others such as modeling and acting. I am also passionate about sports, so it would be interesting to have a lot to choose from.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”7″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading text_weight=”900″ uncode_shortcode_id=”783347″]<\/p>\n [\/vc_custom_heading][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text text_lead=”small”]Hernan:<\/strong> I adapted a floor of the house as a studio, so we have a Baby Bottle<\/a> microphone, speakers, some headphones and an IMac Pro. The whole room is soundproof, but these panels also help us to turn them into mini booths in a super dry environment where the boys record.<\/span><\/p>\n Also, when I was doing post production, I kept feeling that our voiceover was good, but that our voices lacked something. And after some research, I realized that since each member of the family has different tonalities, it was a matter of creating a chain of filters for each one. So we recently invested in education and plug-ins such as filters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n An interesting thing that happens is that they are children and they are constantly changing their voice. You listen to Emilio’s demo before the pandemic\u2026 it was much more acute. So we have to keep updating those filters.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”7″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading text_weight=”900″ uncode_shortcode_id=”129194″]<\/p>\n [\/vc_custom_heading][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image media=”94869″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”122890″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text text_lead=”small”]Silvia:<\/strong> They grew up in an environment where their parents are constantly generating content. And several times, they have been selected to act or model. So they know perfectly well that although this is a profession where one has fun, one needs to also consider the needs of a client, and more- it is not just about us.<\/span><\/p>\n In fact, Emilio, who is a bit more fast-paced in everything, decided to make his demo first and produced it in a certain time. Mateo, took longer until he felt more comfortable. We respect each of their personalities and rhythms.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”7″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading text_weight=”900″ uncode_shortcode_id=”190142″]<\/p>\n [\/vc_custom_heading][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text text_lead=”small”]Emilio:<\/strong> I would tell them to enter this world, it is fun, entertaining and it also pays well. The important thing is to try, take classes, and prepare. I think we can all do voice acting, because if you can speak, you can also modulate your voice well and that is enough.<\/span><\/p>\n Mateo:<\/strong> I would say that above all things: persevere. I was on the verge of quitting several times because I tend to get very frustrated. And I usually have pretty high expectations because I’m a perfectionist. But being consistent and persevering has helped me cope with these situations.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image media=”94870″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”142633″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”7″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading text_weight=”900″ uncode_shortcode_id=”107363″]<\/p>\n [\/vc_custom_heading][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text text_lead=”small”]Silvia: <\/strong>My perception is that voice acting used to have certain standards that made voices sound fake, now I believe that naturalness and freshness is sought after. Being genuine is the \u201cit factor\u201d that differentiates you from others.<\/span><\/p>\n Hernan:<\/strong> I think that as a parent of the younger generations, your biggest job is to cultivate their tastes, we have to be willing to support and be patient with them. Also to associate with them, share profits with them and make them feel equal in a working relationship regarding this industry. Doing this allows them to also get involved in the family finances and be part of the decisions we make.<\/span><\/p>\n These freedoms also allow them to set goals and meet them. Sometimes parents make the mistake of making their kids believe that only<\/span> we<\/strong> can solve their needs or problems, when they too are capable and have the necessary skills to get ahead on their own.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”32″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”7″ top_padding=”0″ bottom_padding=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=”yes” position_vertical=”middle” align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/2″ column_width_pixel=”900″][vc_custom_heading text_color=”color-black” heading_semantic=”h3″ uncode_shortcode_id=”521916″ text_color_type=”uncode-palette”]<\/p>\n [\/vc_custom_heading][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/2″][vc_raw_html]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTBBJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwaGVpZ2h0JTNEJTIyMzQ2cHglMjIlMjB3aWR0aCUzRCUyMjM1MHB4JTIyJTBBJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ2b2ljZTEyMy5jb20lMkZlbWJlZCUyRmVtYmVkLmh0bWwlM0ZkZW1vX2lkJTNEQUpJWEtaJTI2dmElM0RoZXJuYW5zYWxjZWRvJTIyJTBBJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTNFJTNDJTJGaWZyYW1lJTNF[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”7″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ back_color=”accent” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”967244″ back_color_type=”uncode-palette”][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ style=”dark” overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″][vc_empty_space empty_h=”1″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”7″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ back_color=”color-light-orange” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”130616″ back_color_type=”uncode-palette”][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ style=”dark” overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_size=”h3″ sub_lead=”small” sub_reduced=”yes” uncode_shortcode_id=”126337″]Check out our new section with tips and advice as we bring you How to practice voice acting<\/a>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_button button_color=”color-black” size=”btn-lg” border_width=”0″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fvoice123.com%2Fthebooth%2Fask-the-pros-about-a-voice-over-career%2F|title:Ask%20the%20pros|target:_blank” button_color_type=”uncode-palette” uncode_shortcode_id=”182330″]READ HERE[\/vc_button][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][uncode_block id=”90567″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Learn from The Voice Over Family’s journey as they share their experience about voice acting for kids and as a family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":62,"featured_media":94227,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"h5ap_radio_sources":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,22,23],"tags":[124,128,122,123,132,131,130],"class_list":["post-94210","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-inspiration-and-delight","category-interviews","category-new-voices","tag-campaign","tag-homepage","tag-interviews","tag-new-voices","tag-voice-actor","tag-voiceover-industry","tag-voiceover-journey"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nHow did you start this family project, and how did you each get into voice acting?<\/h2>\n
