Sample answer
“In a recent project for an animated series, I had to voice a villainous character. I decided to lower my pitch and add a gravelly texture to create a menacing presence. I worked closely with the director to ensure the voice conveyed both charm and intimidation. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and it helped the character stand out, contributing to a 30% increase in viewer engagement. This experience taught me the importance of adaptability in voice acting.”
