Sure. Well, I think it still varies massively. So there are a lot of the talent that would be most recognizable to a lot of people will just go to exterior studios for when they're recording projects.

My very first voice acting gig was Dark Souls 2. And that was through my acting agent at the time. I went to a studio to audition, like literally had 15 minutes to, you know, they gave me a picture of a half man, half scorpion. I assumed that it would sound, I don't know, a bit like a monster. And they said, no, in your normal voice. And I was like, sure. And then I went away.

And then two weeks later, I was booked in and I did the same thing. And so you're dealing with an audio engineer and then whoever else is directing who may be there or may not be there, that kind of thing. However, I would say 99% of my work is recorded from home. And that includes some video games as well.

So I was a theatre actor for about 15 years, but I've been also full-time voice acting from home for about seven years. So I have a bedroom that I've converted into a professional recording studio. And I do pretty much anything and everything. So I do corporate stuff, corporate narration, documentaries, commercials, and I do animation, video games, that kind of stuff as well.

Whereas a lot of voice actors will only do, you know, the video games and the animation maybe and character based kind of stuff. And maybe the odd commercial if the money is really, really good.
