How I became a reluctant voiceover artist... I've always recorded my own guide voiceovers when starting a new film or animation to help with timings and to also give clients the opportunity to hear the script and check tone, intonation and pronunciation before sending over to the professional VO artists. As it's part of my process and it makes my life easier, I never charge for this. As a result though, many clients have opted to just "stick with" mine. I never encourage this (who likes hearing their own voice?!) and I have many amazing professional voiceover artists I love to work with and would much prefer to use but it can help keep costs down when clients really need it. And, after nearly 20 years (yikes!! 😮🙈😬) I suppose I've got reasonably good at it now!
