Would you consider voice acting if someone says your voice sounds generic? (lemmy.world)

I once heard a lady respond to a claim that she should be doing voice acting. Basically she's a show host and presenter, so she should know fairly much about the field and is already pretty trained for voice stuff.

And basically, she said that she couldn't do that (I assume professionally), because you essentially need voice training which takes 1-2 years. Presumably that's not a full-time training, and rather just regular feedback from a trainer + you training in your own time, but yeah, still sounds rather involved.

I'm guessing, though, there's also a big difference between voice acting for a series, where you need to speak longer sentences correctly in the right tempo with appropriate emotion,
and just one-off gigs like a radio ad for a local company.

Thanks for the reply. Definitely food for thought here!

I always think it's odd when someone says this to me (has happened a couple times before), but it's a nice compliment.
