My job at that time was research-based, so it was a bit a bit dry. As for me, since I was young, I’ve had an “artistic streak” and loved singing and acting… However, I never thought I would become a voice actor,” Hoang Khuyet shared.
The 8X boy said that at first he went to the voice acting class just to learn because he loves watching movies and often impersonates the voices of other people. figure. After going through the 3-month course, Hoang Khuyet felt very excited because he was able to explore a new field and considered it as his “side job” besides his job as an engineer.
At that time, I searched for and participated in voicing supporting roles to satisfy my passion. In 2013, the opportunity appeared when HTV3 television station recruited voice actors. At that time I just thought I would “try”. Luckily, I passed” Hoang Khuyet said.
Step in The engineer’s new working environment is “like a fish taking to water”. Hoang Khuyet received training to hone his voice, lived fully with his roles and met many people with the same passion and interests. From then on, he realized that this was the path he wanted to pursue, the job that made him happy to do every day. So the 8X boy decided to change direction.
I set a goal that after 2 years, that is, by 2015, if I do not achieve achievements in the field of voice acting, I will stop” Hoang Khuyet said. .
“There’s sound but no image”
When he quit his job to switch to voice acting, Hoang Khuyet had nothing but his natural voice. with constant striving. Luckily, life did not deny his efforts.

Nobita Detective Conan… are all “legendary” cartoon characters loved by a large audience.

Some parents even left comments saying that if Hoang Khuyet no longer voices Nobita, their children will… refuse to eat rice.
In addition to cartoon characters, Hoang Khuyet also participates in voicing audio for TV series cinema of Korea China Thailand… The boy revealed that after 4-5 years in the profession, he confidently wrote on his Facebook that “I am a voice actor”.
When asked if he felt disappointed because few people remember his face behind the screen, he said: “When I chose this job, I knew what it was like. I think with my beauty, it’s difficult to become a stage actor loved by everyone (laughs). Therefore, I think voice acting is more suitable for me. Now when people recognize my voice through a certain role, I feel successful and happy.”

For Hoang Khuyet, voicing is not simply reading the lines as many people think, but convincing the audience that it is the actor’s voice Voice acting must use many parts of the face in particular and the body in general. Not only that, but also to express the character’s attitudes and emotions.
It’s also because of the voice is the main tool for work, so in addition to the joy and achievements in his profession, Hoang Khuyet also experienced events that seemed difficult to overcome. There was a time when he fell into a state of “broken voice” that left him speechless with pressure and anxiety.
He recalled: “From 2016 to early 2018, I worked 8 hours a day, at noon, then took advantage of “running shows outside” and tried to work more at night. . That’s why the voice is eroded. At that time, I could only speak in a whisper and could no longer control my voice, it was extremely stressful. After that, I had to arrange to reduce about 70% of my work so I could focus on improving my health. By early 2019, my voice was able to recover. After that time, I realized that if I work with the right technique, everything will be much easier.”
Not only did he encounter problems with his voice throughout his career – even though it’s a job where “you hear the voice but can’t see the image”, Hoang Khuyet still occasionally receives mixed opinions. Someone once texted him saying “the voice acting is so bad, don’t do it anymore”. At that time, the actor also felt sad because his efforts were not recognized. However, he sees it as motivation instead of pressure to be determined to make his roles recognized and remembered by everyone.
After a while The man born in 1988 believes that every profession has elimination. In addition, he realized that voice is a very important tool in any profession. That’s why he set out on a path to becoming a voice coach.
“Some people say that each person’s voice is different and there is no need to learn. Some people think that classes improve the quality of the voice. Voice is just for children to learn for fun. However, I understand that voice is an extremely important tool in life in all fields, so I see those comments as challenges to overcome “Maybe because I’m optimistic, everything is so light for me,” he confided.
For Hoang Khuyet, now all I need to do is immerse myself in the role and express the emotions of each character. Passing on experiences to improve everyone’s voice is a joy.
