Animation voice actors

Hundreds of voice actors specialized in animation: series and shorts, features, animated explainer videos, brand mascots, children's characters and content for YouTube and social. Animation calls for voices with personality — elastic registers that can create memorable characters, keep them consistent episode after episode, and play with ages, accents and energy levels that live action could never allow. Catalogue actors record broadcast-quality audio in their own studios, work both to finished animation and voice-first (recording before the animatic), and deliver alt takes so your team can choose in the edit. Stream real character demos, compare registers and rates, then book an actor directly or post a brief with your character sheets to receive custom auditions within 24 hours. Every professional is vetted by our team, and many carry verified reviews from studios and brands that have already built characters around their voices.

Frequently asked

What you're probably wondering

How do I choose the voice for my animated character?

Start from the character sheet (age, personality, energy, visual references) and listen to animation demos from actors already working in that territory. If you're unsure, post a brief with two or three key lines: you'll receive recorded auditions from several actors and can hear each performance against your design.

Do we record before or after animating?

Both workflows are common. In voice-first production (standard for series and features) the actor records first and animators sync the mouth afterwards, which gives the performance more freedom. If the animation is locked, the actor records to the existing timing and mouth shapes, dubbing-style. State where your production is in the brief.

Can one actor voice several characters?

Yes — it's standard practice in animation. Many catalogue actors cover several clearly differentiated registers (lead, supporting, creatures) and prove it in their demos. For large casts, combining two or three versatile actors saves coordination without sacrificing variety.

What exactly do I receive at the end of the job?

Clean, edited WAV 48 kHz / 24 bit, split by character and by line or scene following your file convention, with the agreed alt takes. Jobs include revision rounds for performance tweaks, and reading errors are re-recorded at no cost.

Does the rate include rights to distribute the animation?

Yes. Every booking on Voicefinder includes a contract and rights assignment for the agreed usage: TV, streaming platforms, web, festivals or commercial brand use, with territory and duration defined. Additional usage later is handled as an extension.
