Voice acting may seem like an easy job to get into; however, the reality of it is a lot more difficult than the average person would have ever expected. From making sure you have proper voice training to starting off with a small role and working your way up over time, voice-acting is just as demanding as traditional acting, and even then, voice work can be even more physically taxing sometimes.
One voice actress that began on Youtube and is beginning to make her footprint in the profession is Anna Brisbin, or as Youtubers know her, Brizzy Voices. The voice actress got her start doing some fun videos of Pokemon by doing the voices of the original 150 Pokemon. She has since had work on some video games and even a new interactive podcast/Youtube series titles Ride Share.
A recent interview with Brizzy was held where she was asked some fun questions about her career and how she got her start! In the interview, she was asked, "In the disclaimer of your original Pokemon video, you mentioned that you had 500 followers or something like that. Is that the first one you feel started gaining traction?" Brizzy then followed up by saying, "I had maybe 200 subscribers on my YouTube channel before that, the previous one, and I didn't advertise the new channel at all over there. So I don't think any of them were from there, but it was one of the first videos I uploaded on that channel within the first month. I think I uploaded a Nickelodeon Impressions one before it, and that got me the 552 or whatever that I had. I think I got those because my friend Dom Farah, who's a YouTuber himself, liked it or commented on it or favorited it. Back then, if you did that on your YouTube channel, it would show up on your feed for your followers. His followers found it from that, and that was my baby blow up to the 500. Then I guess those people saw the Pokemon, and then that one was posted places."
There are even more fun and exciting questions that can be read or listened to in the full interview right here! Are you a fan of Brizzy? We would love to hear what you think of her work in the comments below!
