FOR ALL THE VIEWERS READING, PLEASE KINDLY INTRODUCE YOURSELF.

Hi! I’m Heather Nichols, a full-time voice actor in Los Angeles. I specialize in the areas of corporate narration, e-learning, audiobooks, commercials, dubbing, and animation. I am also a voiceover coach and teacher for private lessons and group classes.

 

PLEASE TALK ABOUT HOW YOU GOT STARTED IN THE VOICE-OVER INDUSTRY.

I started in entertainment as an on-camera actor, which I was for many years. One of my former on-camera agents approached me asking if I would like to also be submitted for voiceover opportunities, so I said yes and got my first commercial VO demo made. I wasn’t looking to focus on VO at the time but was very fortunate to book some commercial work very quickly and ended up as the brand voice for a doll company for 7 years. That really planted the seed for my love of VO. I ended up getting burnt out on the on-camera scene, and when I became a mom, I completely stepped away from acting to focus on my twin boys. However, I very quickly missed performing and realized voiceover was a way to have that creative outlet while being at home with my kids. I decided to start pursuing that area again and got some traction right away in the corporate narration space. I leaned into that and, within a year, was able to leave my full-time marketing job and go full-time with VO. That was 5 years ago, and I am happier than ever to still be doing this every day.

 

WHAT MADE YOU GET STARTED IN THE VOICE-OVER INDUSTRY?

After my twins were born, and I had stepped away from acting for a bit, I ended up as the head of marketing for a major comic con producer with shows all over the country. I have a degree in marketing and have owned a digital marketing company for over 15 years, so I really enjoyed diving into that business. I even had to write radio commercials and hire voice actors, which gave me a unique and valuable perspective when I came back to the performing side myself. When the pandemic hit, the events business obviously ground to a halt, and I had to decide if I waited it out with that company, which was taking a new business direction, or took the leap back into voiceover. I had been working in VO on the side for the last 2+ years of my marketing job, and it was really picking up steam. I knew my heart was no longer with that company, so with the support of my husband, I decided to leave that job and go full-time with voiceover.

As the readers of this site know, streaming is a thing in Japan. The rest of the world is still fascinated with the idea of Japan being all about CDs, when the readers of this site also know that the reason CD sales are so high in Japan still is because of bonuses attached to the CDs. Reuters’ Ritsuko Ando recently looked at how this is changing though.

In the article, the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on CD sales is documented. Music fans are currently staying home and music acts are canceling in-store events, leading to a switch to streaming.

Tower Records has suffered due to the pandemic, with spokesman Tatsuro Yagawa saying, “It will take a long time for things to return to normal.” He is optimistic though, saying, “Music fans here like buying CDs to show support for their favorite artists. I don’t think people will stop buying CDs.”

Avex has also suffered due to the pandemic. The company held a-nation online a few months ago, attracting 1.6 million views, split between free and paying viewers. However Avex CEO Katsumi Kuroiwa described the financial results of the company’s foray into large-scale online events as mixed.
