Adult or Child voices to play kids in Animation

Hello everyone. So I have been thinking which is better for a kids animated series. Child actors the same age as the characters? Child actors a little older so they still sound like kids but have a better understanding of the script or adults who can sound convincing as a child?

On one hand I have he...

OB Nwani

I would much rather have an adult voice actor who can do kid voices or at least have the right vocal range for the age that fits the character.

Suzanne Bronson

The voices of Lisa Simpson and Bart Simpson are played by adults and I have never once thought about it while watching. I think of the Smurfs and Family Guy and tons of other animated shows all voiced...

anime characters are usually little boys and girls. but usually young women play them. which is awesome, coz these anime voice actors are absolutely incredible

Sam Sokolow

I agree with OB and Suzanne. Adult actors who can do character and kid's voices are usually the smarter choice - they are easier to work with from a union and hours-at-work perspective and tend to bri...

Thanks everyone, you have made me feel much more comfortable with using adults for this animation.

Hi Danetto Zi! They're here, can just take people a minute to come out of their shell. What kinds of genres/projects do you specialize in?

Danetto Zi

i have some film projects that i would like some costume designers for :)

Tim Bragg
John Wick.

I am interested in watching the new John Wick, but I have not followed 2 and 3, do you need to watch those to follow the story in chapter 4?

Sam Sokolow

Not really. They are all amazing and fun rides and it never hurts to follow the path from one to the next but Chapter 4 is just an incredible feat in action filmmaking all on its own. It's long but wildly entertaining.

Tim Bragg

Thanks Sam.

Danetto Zi

lol srsl? xd its a fucking action film with people beating each other up...

What’s one advice would have for someone who has a fear of auditions?

Stephen Folker

Worry less about what others will think and more about what you have to offer. Go for it! Life is too short to overthink everything. Best wishes to you!

Steve James

You have to understand why you are wary of Auditions. In reality, Casting is simply looking for a match for their role. If you don't match it, or can't offer something within your performance that mak...

Josiah Bhola Hillaire - it's human nature to be nervous to perform in front of someone, especially a crowd. Over time, those fears will subside. Don't let anyone get you down. Just go for it. And if y...

Thank you so much

Fran Harris

Great question. In my experience as a "performer" (TV, sports announcing, speaking/playing sports in front of thousands), it's not the AUDITION that frightens folks -- it's the fear of failure, "messi...
