5. Actor

A career in voice acting leaves you with a lot of options, and roles in video games just so happen to be some of the most lucrative jobs you can land. Who hasn’t heard of these amazing voice actors such as Nolan North, Jennifer Hale, and Troy Baker?

Aside from lending your voice to games, there’s another type of actor who can find work in the game industry. Ever wondered why modern titles feature 3D characters that move so believably? You can thank motion-capture artists for that. These performers provide the physical motions which CG animators then use to make the 3D characters move more realistically.

Today, it’s not uncommon for the voice actor to do the motion capture performance, as well. So that’s double the duty for you if you’re the one playing a role in a game. Hey, you know what that means: more pay, more exposure!

Two of the most exciting video game careers you can have today.
