Kids in Voice Over. December is the children’s month. It is, of course, because Christmas is here and the kids remind us, the adults, how to live it, but also because many commercials and videos are recorded by child voice over talents and show us how exciting and professional a kid’s voice can be.
Working with young artists is so gratifying, but it is necessary to keep always in mind what they are, just children, and it is part of our job to make them feel comfortable while recording.
