How would you define your vocal color?
Classic, a deep bass, cynical in range.
What do people miss about you?
Like every actor tends to say — I know and can do everything 🙂 I’m suited to quite a few ranges; I’d love to do dubbing, it’s super interesting to me.
What do you consider an achievement?
A campaign that takes you somewhere, like the campaigns for Azrieli and Disney.
What do you say to actors who claim it’s easy?
On the face of it, they’re right.. except there’s no room for a large number of voiceover artists in such a small industry. Most clients prefer to work with voiceover artists they trust and already know.
I got my first opportunity for “Azrieli” after quite a lot of searching, and I was ultimately chosen for a combination of authenticity and a familiar voice.
All of this happened completely by chance. I never planned a career in voiceover.
A tip for a beginner voiceover artist?
In long sessions it’s worth recording each sentence separately rather than in one continuous take, because when you record continuously there will always be a sentence that isn’t perfect or precise. I suggest not taking it lightly and simply not giving up. Record again and again until it’s nothing less than perfect. Listen to yourself and no one else, go with your own truth. Anyone already starting to work needs a home studio, with the ability to record from anywhere — that’s how it works today.
What have you learned that a client is looking for?
My teacher in New York told me: “If a director gives you instructions, say yes, yes. Sure. But in the end do what you feel” 🙁 Omer Barnea laughs). So of course clients like to be listened to, but ultimately the performer knows his work best and he needs freedom. When I record, the first interpretation I record is, in the end, also the one that stays.
