Adventures in Voice Acting Reviews:
An intro to voice acting 
2009-06-05 - If you've ever thought about getting into the field of voice acting, this is a great DVD to have. It will make you think a bit..."do I really want to do this?" Well worth the money.
Inspiring..Triumphant..Funny..and Whole Hearted
2009-01-06 - Jusy some of the many words I can describe this Great Documentary. For the longest time I always wanted to be a voice actor, doing voices around the house, and at school. Until I saw this I was naive to the Trails and Tribulation that these actors had to go through to get where they were. It Inspired me to really go out and do it, take classes, go do audition, sell what I got. It is Triumphant because all those actor struggled to get where they are, I mean struggled, they fought for there dream job sacrificing alot along the way. It is so Funny, one part of Steve Blum, I laughed soooo hard. Finally, It's Whole Hearted, because the actor open up, tell there stories,and one of the sad moments, Bob Pappenbrook, died shortly after the production, the film is in Memory of him.
Must see DVD
2008-12-17 - While this first volume focuses on Anime, this is definitely a must see. As a brand new voice actor, I was fascinated to see the variety of working voice actors interviewed.
In particular, I really enjoyed the Extra where it simulates an actual recording session.
Highly recommended and worth the money.
A Must-Have DVD for Aspiring Voice Actors
2008-12-05 - Whether you're a veteran voice actor or someone just starting to dip your toes in the voice acting waters, this is the DVD to buy. It provides sage advice about the business of voice acting, gives you behind-the-scenes access to some studio sessions so you can see what it's like behind the mic, and provides dozens of interviews with current voice actors, both new and seasoned, to give you all the motivation you could possibly need.
I highly recommend this DVD. Oh, and for all you Crispin Freeman fans out there... Yes, he's on the DVD, too!
Talk about helpful!
2008-12-05 - Whether you want to get into voice acting or are just curious about the faces behind the voices, Adventures in Voice Acting is a fantastic behind-the-scenes look into the voice-acting industry. The documentary is very fun to watch since it is split into five very informative sections. The questions were well thought out and very helpful. Watching my favorite actors' personalities in real life (hehe) was also a blast. I highly recommend this DVD for anyone who may be curious about voice acting for any platform. Waiting until next year for the game DVD is going to be difficult!
