What is obvious is the lack of competency reference for obligatory education. Where the rules and methods must planned for susceptive. Because of disruptive activities in this art after more than half a century demands university in academic way.
To date, everyone who have a name and style in this art by relying on knowledge, personal experience and trial and error have taken steps that not the master do chart effort to transfer nor the student have not been available source and principles and only hasty, patchwork, superficial, far-sighted thought and careful reflection tips; classes in duration of 2 month or a little more for people without basic selection in a formal cases will be held; experience shows that this process has never a good procedure for anyone who is interested in this art.

This field in the beginning of establishment certainly has the capacity to offer in associate’s degree and after that by payment and coherent planning can also consider Bachelor’s degree for it without ambition. Of course for entering students of this field practical test in measured condition, scientific and different of stereotypes must be considered till brevity not taken for individual who deserve.
Is the only sound that could be permanent ?
The text below is a brief summary of research on the nature of permanent sound (in the field of Sedabazigari(voice acting) and check it more deeply; in particular, the permanent sound has always generalize conception and never pay attention to factors together till human voice become permanent. Even at the ceremony that often held here or other country that honored of people, there is no any analysis and criteria for selecting them. Of course, there is no doubt that these people appreciated, qualified and worth for it but the question is that where they come from? What they do to receive here and become the permanent voice? Until the answer become a key for lover of this art and if they are real lover and have motivated and talent can find right and specific direction at the beginning until have a good finally.
To find reliable and clear expression answer to above question 600 minutes interview have been conducted with people who has a continues presence and reliable resume in this profession and those who has a close cooperation by voice acting like the editor of radio and sound maker. I noticed that many other people in various specialties have special attitudes which are able to criticize and reveal many aspects of active performance from significantly and different point of view, because of restricted time and conditions we could not talk with them.
In addition to interview by expert people, questionnaire was distributed among voice actors to assess and explore the reason of unknown issues that I have pointed some of its important conclusion.
Most of the participants in interview choose voice actors that during their professional employment have appeared in dubbing more; know as a familiar and perdurable sound that because of hearing their sound in television (as well as media dependant on image) that today, allocated more time of people among other media.
Knowledge of special style and unique components, mobility, continuing innovation and being up to date, recognition and training different tone of voice as well as consolidation and empower to low tone of voice ( because of charisma and more influence of low and bass tone of voice) that many are unaware of it. Creativity, high musical understanding, the ability of acting, knowledge of the literature and translation (Native language and English language among foreign languages) love and affection to this profession even in difficult material and spiritual situation and refusing to employee system in art, (mechanically working and get away from the features of a professional activity), having a professional look and not only as a habit and disport mere to this art, vocalization power and sound adaptation with characters in dubbing, continues presence ( decades), good morality (which making growth as well as creating good opportunities for development of its owner) this is the most important thing among people’s point of view, theoretical education( sum of knowledge, science and perception that learning it is require for voice actor) all of all together form the foundation of permanent voice.
