Hello everyone and thank you very much for reading this post.

I'm a 19 year old guy with an exceptionally deep voice, and whenever I use my microphone in multiplayer games I play or in Zoom meetings, I'm told my voice is "pleasant", "extremely deep", and "sultry".

Now I've been interesting in voice acting for some time, and 2 voice actors I've always thought I would be like are of Christopher Lee, the English actor, and John Patrick Lowrie, a voice actor for many video games.

I am asking is there any potential for voice acting roles for especially deep voices? I appreciate any help, and this is my first post on this forum so apologies if I haven't put enough details, I will try to have very detailed answers.

Thank you,

Jacob.

There absolutely is! There's potential for ANY voice type! Deep male voices are often called on for villains, narrators (think movie trailers), and father-figures, so that's a place to start -- but I'd encourage you to try for absolutely any role that you think you could do well. A lot of roles don't specify in the casting call exactly *what* they're looking for, so the directors are open to being surprised by your personal take on a role.

Hello Jacob!

Rebekah is correct - there are roles out there for all voice types. Of course, the acting itself is the most important bit, and that's mainly what will book you the role

If you haven't already, I suggest signing up for our Discord server (http://discord.gg/voiceactingclub) and posting some samples in the #feedback-wanted channel. There, people will be able to help evaluate better.
