This is a presentation to demonstrate my current knowledge of ADR Recording and Voice Overs. I would really like an ADR or Voice-Over Job, to set up a Pension Fund.

3. Why I want to be an ADR or VO
Recordist
Because I’ve always wanted to be a Voice Actor, from Kenneth Ibrahim’s
soothing voice when it comes to Pacenotes in Sega Rally, to Michael G’s
excitable Ridge Racer Announcements, to the recognizable voice of Fox in
Farthing Wood provided by Rupert Farley.
Having Autism, Tourettes and OCD, I want to defy expectations of an ADR
or VO Artist.
I also feel as if being a VO Artist could allow me to express my feelings
through Cartoon Characters, Advertisements and Video Games.
4. How much do I expect to be paid?
I’m not really in it for the money, and I know that since this is Voice Acting
it may be difficult to determine the pay.
I expect that at least in my first 5 years
£15,000
Then for the rest of my career £30,000 a year.
It all depends on a Lucky Break, Simon Greenall was in Tomb Raider II and
Alan Partridge but got his lucky break through Alexander Orlov the
Meerkat, I’m not sure how much he gets paid for it but probably quite a
bit.
5. My Pension Goal
The Late Ron Moody(Who’s son I actually know), who has worked with
Rupert Farley and met him at a Christmas Party, had an acting career that
probably span 50 years. If my career Is as long as his, I would earn
£750,000 Gross Income, how much I save depends on Tax. But using the
£30,000 model. I would get £1,500,000 and put it in my fund.
If I can retire at age 71 or 73 and do cameo appearances like Moody did, I
think that would be brilliant. I can then enjoy years worth of retirement.
6. Final
I really hope I can do ADR Recording, I may not be in it for the money, but
I still think the idea of a good Pension Pot would be awesome. It depends
on the future of Voice Acting and all that, I may post a few Portfolio Clips
as well.
And like Konstantin Stanislavski said, “There are no small actors, only small
parts”.
