Reader Questions: How Do I Become a Video Game Voice Actor?

20/11/2019

Each month we pick out interesting questions sent in by our readers. This month it's a message we received on one of our posts about getting a job in the video game industry.

Ashwin Jacobs wrote "How do I become a voice actor or an actor for games like for PS4 or Xbox one etc. It is a dream to do that and I have the potential. I love games sooo much I want to become one. Please help."

We put the word out on twitter (@AskAboutGames) and were soon inundated with brilliant advice for Ashwin.
