Voice acting scripts

Cartoon and animation voice acting scripts

Animation asks for bigger choices than almost any other voice work. You supply the character's whole body with your voice. These original cartoon scripts reward commitment, specific physicality, and fast emotional turns.

How to practise cartoon and animation voice acting scripts

  • Move while you record. If the character jumps, your voice should sound like it jumped.
  • Decide the character's size, age, and energy before the first line, then keep them consistent.
  • Exaggerate the reaction, not the volume. Big doesn't have to mean loud.

Every script page includes a teleprompter that scrolls at your chosen words-per-minute pace, with optional recording so you can hear your take straight away.
