  • Page 4FOR ALL THE VIEWERS READING, PLEASE KINDLY INTRODUCE YOURSELF. My name is Cary Hite. PLEASE TALK ABOUT HOW YOU GOT STARTED IN THE VOICE OVER INDUSTRY. I've had an interest in voiceover since watching cartoons as a kid. Once I started acting, the road to get into this part of the industry opened up. At the behest of an agent, I went to an audition for Audible, booked the projects (four in total), and haven't looked back since.
  • Page 5NOW IN TODAY'S SOCIETY, EVERYTHING IS DONE BY REMOTE WORK. DO YOU ENJOY THIS PROCESS, OR DO YOU PREFER TO SHOW UP AT THE STUDIO? I still prefer to show up to the studio. Noth- ing replaces working with an engineer in the session. They are your first audience, your first ears. When they're engaged in the story with you, they're an invaluable collaborator.
  • Page 6PLEASE KINDLY INTRODUCE YOURSELF. Kia ora Fusion readers!!! It's tubularly rad to get to chat with you in this interview! Thank you so much Fusion team for inviting me to chat with you! My name is Chloë Elmore (the umlaut is just a bit of spicy pizzazz) and I am a New Zealand voice actor, working full-time from my beautiful custom-made recording studio here in the lush countryside of Middle Earth! To get the numbers out of the way, I'm 32 years old and I've been pursuing VO part-time for 11 years, but I've been doing it full- time as my only source of income for 3 years.
  • Chloë ElmoreBut still! I was close! I would love to voice a lead char- acter in a Final Fantasy - but I mean, who wouldn't! One awesome dream that happened just a month ago was being flown to Chicago to act in an audio drama and all 30+ of the cast were voicing in the same studio with each other for a whole 9 days of pure bliss!! Yeah, it wasn't a huge game and they weren't names you'd know, but they are my people, my family, and hang- ing in the same hotel and going to restaurants every night, chatting in the hotel hot tub, and laughing until our abs ached was a massive dream for this little kiwi. It's rare to ever meet your castmates, let alone record in the same room with them, so I was so blessed! I am so content with how my career is skyrocketing, but I do want to reach the stars, of course! I have realised so many dreams of working on national commercials across America, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, but I would love to become a long- running 'Brand Voice' for a big company. That kind of legacy would be such an honour. Those brand voices shaped my secluded homeschooling childhood and gave me so much comfort and connection growing up.

  • Page 9You have to take an honest look at yourself and your skills early on and work on the areas where you may need some extra support. Once I eventually transitioned out of the corporate world and began doing Voice Acting full-time, I also found challenges I didn't ex- pect. One was getting used to working alone every day. I had worked with colleagues in an office for years and going from that, to locking myself in a padded room by myself all day... was an unexpected adjustment

  • TALK ABOUT THE CHALLENGES YOUFACE IN THIS INDUSTRY AND HOW YOU OVERCOME THE CHALLENGES. At first, the challenge was overcoming some negative thoughts I had about my own voice, because I was teased for it for so long when I was a teenager. My voice may have been a target of ridicule at one point, but now I see it as my super power.

  • FROM VOICE ACTRESSTO STORYTELLING A car crash and a hard spiral later, I found myself a single mom with two kids and a drug- ad- dicted boyfriend, waiting tables instead. Another way to make money acting. ;) Years passed. It wasn't until I realized remote voice acting was a real option-home studios, virtual auditions -that I started to find my way back. I started with narration because I love, love books. Audi- tioned constantly, took every class I could afford, joined every group I could find. Within a year, I was working full time.
  • Page 24WHAT VOICE OVERS DO YOU ADMIRE THE MOST FROM HOLLYWOOD? I'm drawn to performances that stay honest-even in exag- gerated roles. Jack Black is a great example. He can go big without losing his human nature. That balance takes skill, and it's rare.

  • Page 31What is the process like when you are creating a comic book? Our process is a little different because our foundation is audio. That's where we start. A lot of people making motion comics. begin with the comic and then add voiceover and music at the end, almost like an afterthought to include with the animation.
  • Page 32Q: What are the main steps for creating an AR comic, from concept to release? A: I create my AR comics like you would a tradi- tional comic. I write the script and then create a rough storyboard for the entire issue paying close attention to pacing, dialogue placement and variety in composition. The AR is used as a final step to enhance and expand the traditional comic experience rather than replace it.

BRYAN ROCES VOICE ACTOR

MY NAME IS BRYAN ROCES. I'M A SINGER, ACTOR, VOICE ACTOR, AND PRODUCER BASED IN SASKATCH- EWAN, CANADA!

OVER INDUSTRY.

I kind of fell into it. I always knew I wanted a creative career. Growing up, I was heavily involved in musi- cal theatre, dance, and acting for film and TV. I dis- covered voice acting through my favourite cartoons and anime-it blew my mind that you could bring animated characters to life using just your voice. That sparked my interest, so I started taking classes, workshops-anything I could find to learn more.

Eventually, I took a step back to focus on school, and a couple of years later, I ended up working as a radio producer. In 2019, I decided to return to voice-over part-time, and I've been steadily building my career ever since.

PLEASE SHARE A MOMENT WHERE YOU FELT YOU WANTED TO BE INSPIRED TO BE A PART OF THE VOICE OVER INDUSTRY.

I had the chance to meet Jess Harnell, Maurice LaMarche, and Rob Paulsen at the Calgary Expo in 2013. I grew up watching Animaniacs, so meet- ing the voices behind some of my favorite child- hood characters was an absolute dream. Jess Harnell, in particular, really inspired me and made a huge impact on the start of my career.

I chatted with him for a bit and told him I was interested in pursuing voice-over professionally. What re- ally stuck with me was that when he came back two years later, he actually remembered me--and again, even three years after that. He's such a genuine guy, and I'm incredibly grateful for his encouragement and those interactions. They played a big role in mo- tivating me to pursue this path.

PLEASE TALK ABOUT THE CHALLENGES YOU

FACE IN THIS INDUSTRY AND HOW YOU OVER- COME THE CHALLENGES.

FOR ALL THE VIEWERS READING, PLEASE KINDLY IN- One of the biggest challenges I've faced in this indus- TRODUCE YOURSELF.

TALK ABOUT HOW YOU GOT STARTED IN THE VOICE I've learned to embrace mistakes and treat them as try was overcoming my fear of failure. For most of WHAT MAKES A GOOD VOICE ACTOR? my life, I was focused on doing everything perfectly, which made it hard to take risks. But when I started my voice-over journey, I realized that failure is part of the process-it's how you grow and improve.

A good voice actor is open to making mistakes and having fun with the process. Don't be too hard on yourself-if you mess up, just try again. It's all part of the journey. Always listen to your coaches; they know the ins and outs of the industry, and they genuinely want you to succeed. Never stop learning from them.

But perhaps the most important thing I've learned is to take care of yourself. Your health and your voice are your instrument, so you need to treat them with care. Finding balance in your life and prioritizing opportunities to learn. If you're unsure about some- thing, ask questions. There's always more to discov- er. Voice-over is a marathon, not a sprint. If you stay curious, keep learning, and aren't afraid to stumble along the way, you'll keep moving forward and even- tually master your craft.

ANY PROJECT OR PEOPLE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE your mental health is essential. Taking care of your TO WORK WITH OR COLLABORATE WITH?

body is just as important as honing your craft.

Oh man, it would be a dream to work with Dante Basco-whether on a show like Avatar: The Last Air- bender or in a film. I'm Filipino, so collaborating with a fellow Filipino actor on a project would be incred- ibly meaningful to me

WHAT TYPE OF SPECIALTY IN VOICE OVER WORK DO YOU LIKE TO FOCUS ON, OR DO YOU HAVE SEVERAL TYPES?

I have a warm, youthful tone in my voice, which makes me a good fit for PSA work and upbeat, fun reads for commercials. I really enjoy those types of projects. At the same time, I'd love to explore other areas like working with accents and creating mon- ster noises. I'm excited to see what other possibilities I can discover with my voice.

Another person I'd love to work with is Mark Hamill. He's such an incredible actor, especially in the world of animation. I've watched interviews where he talks about how he finds voices for his characters, and it's fascinating to hear his creative process. From the Joker to Firelord Ozai to Chucky-it's amazing what he can do with his voice. I really admire that level of skill and creativity, and I aspire to become a per- former like him someday.

PLEASE TALK ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF WORK YOU FD ARE CURRENTLY FOCUSED ON.

Right now, I'm focused on several areas of voice- over, including commercial work, character roles for video games and animation, dubbing, as well as explainers and eLearning projects. As of this inter- view, I'm also diving into imaging and learning a lot from it.

I'm really enjoying the process of exploring differ- ent voice-over genres. It's been exciting to discover new skills and find my voice in various spaces. I'm grateful for where this journey is taking me and look forward to what's next.
