I’m Azura Hardware, and I’m a voice actor. I’m currently most well known for my “What If Remote Had A Voice Actor?” video, my role as Sonic in the fan game Sonic Storm, and my roles as every character in the Botanical Craze.

Characters I’ve had the most fun dubbing on my YouTube channel are…
Q: What kind of media do you want to voice in (video games, YouTube shows etc.)?
A: Anything and everything, although my speciality is video game characters.
Q: Do you accept unpaid work?
A: No. At least, not for now. This is for multiple reasons, such as my living situation and advice from other voice actors, but for now I’m not accepting unpaid work.
Q: What’s your limit when it comes to material you have to voice act for?
A: Nothing, really. Besides the obvious, like shows or games made as hate speech. I’m willing to voice any character from any piece of media, even adult only media.
So many cool VA projects I’m working on. Able to work on none of them cause I have this agonising canker sore below my tongue. Have ONE screenshot instead
What kind of advice would you give to someone trying to practice voice acting more?
Don’t worry too much about not being able to do a variety of voices. A single great voice is a thousand times better than 10 okay ones. That’s not to say vocal range isn’t also a super desirable skill to have, but it shouldn’t be the priority. Focus on turning your own voice into a character first.
(Also worth noting that voice variety isn’t necessarily limited by vocal range or ability to do impressions, especially in the modern day where we got stuff like audio filters and vocal transformers)
Water. Have a lot of water. Especially if you’re yelling a lot
Posture is underrated when it comes to VA. I do most of my VA standing up but if you’re sitting and doing VA keep your back straight, it’s good for projection (and it’s also good for your back :3)
Lastly I’m being so fr when I say this: practice with Family Guy scenes
