The Interview
Tell us about yourself and how you started in voiceover.
I’m Victoria Ogunremi, an award-winning Nigerian voice actor, storyteller, and founder of the Voice Over Community (VOC). I studied Performing Arts and started voiceover professionally about 3 years ago.
My journey into voiceover began with constant compliments about how well I spoke. Friends, family, and even strangers encouraged me to explore the craft, so I started lending my voice to small projects within my circle, but what really deepened my interest was a friend from school. I saw her consistent posts about voiceovers on Instagram; she was so good! I reached out to her, asked to join her community, and eventually signed up for her classes. From there, everything took shape. That one decision became the launchpad for what has become an exciting, purpose-driven career.
What inspired you to pursue this career?
Honestly, I didn’t know voice acting was a real career path until people kept telling me I had a good voice and should consider it. But what truly lit the fire in me was seeing a friend from school consistently post her voiceover work and how much effort she put into it. Watching her passion and excellence made me believe I could do it too. That’s when I started taking it seriously. Researching, learning, and eventually joining her community and classes. My love for performance as a Performing Arts graduate also helped fuel my consistency.
Who has inspired you the most in the voiceover industry?
Internationally, people like Bill DeWees and Voice of Angela inspire me. Locally, I admire Stephanie Nicholas’ versatility and Seun Shobo’s voice presence, TCode’s consistency. But really, everyday African voice actors who are pushing boundaries inspire me the most.
What types of voiceover projects have you worked on, and which excite you the most?
I’ve worked on radio jingles, audio drama, commercials, and narrations. What excites me most are storytelling and audio drama roles. In fact, everything about voiceovers excites me.
How do you approach character development for a voiceover role? (Describe your
creative process)
First, I read the script thoroughly and try to understand the character’s motivation, background, and emotional state. I explore different tones, pitches, and deliveries till I find what fits. I also record short takes and listen back to tweak.
Walk us through your workflow; how do you prepare for a voiceover session or
recording?
I start with vocal warmups, hydrate well, and review the script ahead of time. I visualize the audience or the character, depending on the project. Then I record, edit, and run quality checks. I also work in a treated home studio setup.
How have you been improving your skills?
By taking VO courses, listening to seasoned voice actors, especially on YouTube, joining voiceover communities, going to VO conferences, and practicing often. Also, by receiving feedback and studying voiceover trends. As a coach, teaching others also sharpens my own skills. Gives me the space to read more.
What challenges have you faced, and how have you overcome them?
Like many, I struggled with self-doubt and limited access to professional equipment early on. Another big challenge was getting consistent clients, which can feel really tough when starting. To overcome this, I focused on building my skills through practice and audio editing, actively joined voiceover communities, and networked to create collaborations and referrals. I also learned to be patient and persistent, knowing that growing a client base takes time. Each small opportunity became a stepping stone toward building my career.
