If you need Turkish characterized voice acting for a unique and comedic character, you’ll love my latest video, ‘The Mysterious Caller’. It showcases my skills, bringing a comedic character to life through both my Turkish voice acting and physical acting talents. My natural and impactful performance is often praised in social media comments.

The inspiration for the character in ‘The Mysterious Caller’ came from observing everyday people and exaggerating their quirks. I wanted to create someone relatable but also hilariously frustrating for the main character. To achieve the right voice, I used a specific voice modulation technique, lowering my pitch and adding a nasally tone. The physical acting was just as important; I used exaggerated facial expressions and gestures to emphasize the character’s annoyance.

The shoot itself was quite challenging. We had to film in a small space to simulate the cramped environment of the apartment, and the timing of the phone calls had to be precise for the comedic effect to work. Despite the challenges, the final product was well-received. In fact, the video reached over 100,000 views on social media platforms like YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook within the first day! Many viewers commented on the character’s voice and how it reminded them of someone they know.

This video is a great example of my versatility as both a Turkish voice over artist and actor. If you’re looking for someone who can bring humor and personality to your projects, I’m confident my skills will bring your vision to life. You can see my voice demos here and follow me on Instagram for more content. Feel free to contact me for any Turkish voice over or acting needs. I’m always open to new and exciting collaborations. Additionally, I’m available for voice over projects in various genres, including commercials, animations, and audiobooks. My experience allows me to adapt to different styles and deliver a professional and engaging performance for any project.

In this video, I aimed to demonstrate my versatility as both a Turkish voice over artist and an actor by portraying multiple characters. (I act all characters here: the father, the uncle, and include the Turkish voice over of the son.) I delve into the creation process of each character, considering their unique personalities and vocal tones. The son character, existing solely through voice, required a special focus on conveying energy and emotion.

To capture the father’s authoritative tone, I employed a deeper and more emphasized vocal delivery. For the son, I opted for a playful and cheerful tone to reflect his energetic nature. This video serves as an example of my ability to bring diverse characters to life and convey emotions through my voice.

I am available for a wide range of projects, including commercials, animations, documentaries, and more, as a Turkish voice over artist and actor. After watching the video, I encourage you to share your thoughts and feedback in the comments section.
