Welcome to the web’s most comprehensive resource covering the art, craft and career of voice acting!
This site is for all levels of ability- from those utterly new to voice acting to amateurs to working pros. You’ll find no fees and no ads- just practical, encouraging insight.
I’ve distilled for you what I’ve learned from my over three decades as a professional voice actor in Hollywood, as well as five decades of live performing.
Whether you’re looking for an exploratory overview or a career-expanding deep dive, you’ve come to the right place!
I add new pages often, with my “Latest Additions” blog posts listed in the column to the right if you’re on a computer or if your cell phone is held horizontally.

Thanks so much for creating this, Mr. Baker! Love your work 🙂
Thank you so much for taking the time to post all this information and giving us a bit of a perspective “from the inside looking out” if you will.
I’ve been working over in my head if I would like to really put myself into the industry and become a voice actor. This website both made me question my ideals and yet, at the same time, strengthen my resolve, since I now have some extra knowledge on what it takes.
Even this much info has been a huge help, and I hope you keep posting as you get ideas; I would definitely keep reading.
Thanks- I’ll keep adding new ideas as they occur to me.
Thank you so much for all this information! It is really appreciated and has helped me personally figure out where to start in the Voice Over world. VO truly is my passion and sites with this kind of legitimate information provided by such a great actor as Dee Bradley Baker gets “my jones going” as Rob Paulson would say! Thank you so much =)
You are welcome!
Inarguable and foundational point for not only the artist, but any human who wants to succeed.
Thanks, Dee.
I heard you on the Star Wars Channel on Sirius Radio. You mentioned your site and here I am. Great that you’ve done this. Your willingness to invest this information in other’s lives is significant. Your comment on the Star Wars Channel, “I welcome the competition. It makes us all better,” was wonderful. You’ve won a fan.
