Voice acting is the professional art of providing vocal performances for characters or narrators in various media where the performer is not seen on screen. It involves using one's voice expressively to convey character, emotion, and narrative in productions such as animation, films dubbed into other languages, video games, audiobooks, commercials, and educational materials. Voice actors must master articulation, emotional range, and the ability to match timing precisely, often working in a recording booth to deliver performances exclusively through their voice for pre-recorded or live projects. This specialized field requires technical skill and strong acting ability adapted solely for audio delivery, contributing significantly to the storytelling process without visual presence.
