You know, I really should, shouldn’t I? Given that I’ve done so much of it over the past few years and spend most of my time writing for/directing/and listening to voice actors, you’d think I’d have some tips. 

But here’s the thing that myself and many of the other actors have discovered: it’s honestly not that different from regular acting. There’s some technical stuff maybe - making sure you’re a good distance from the mic, not shifting around in your seat etc. - but most of that stuff just becomes natural over time. 

Mostly I’d say: take acting classes, watch great actors act, read acting theory, and find what works for you. I’ve studied Stanislavski, Strasberg, and Meisner and have taken bits of each and left what I don’t like behind. There’s not a right way to act - just be truthful to the moment and to your scene partner. Preparation is key: all the theory stuff is great for building a character and finding your motivation and all that so that once you’re in front of the mic, you can let ‘er rip. 

If you’re also organizing the podcast, I think it’s extremely beneficial to record actors together. With the exception of a few small scenes, we always have the actors in the same room recording at once. You want to be able to establish that connection - even if actors are looking at their scripts, they can still feel the other person there.
