A recent radio interview on Newstalk 1530 KFBK radio about my career in voiceovers has generated a lot of calls at the office and the one question everyone asks is:
"How do I get started in the voiceover business for myself?"
We're glad that you asked us! My business partner and audio engineer extraordinaire Jim would probably tell you that I have earned a black belt in voiceovers since I've been doing them for over 29 years now. And yes, I learned how to do voiceovers the old fashioned way: through trial and error. Mostly error. But, wow, have I learned a lot.
And, I've picked up some fabulous clients along the way including Verizon Wireless from coast to coast and the Public Transportation System for the City of Sacramento.
Nowadays, doing voiceovers is a whole new business than when I started back in 1979, thanks to the advancements in technology and mostly due to the internet. It also means that there is a lot more competition and that if you're interested in doing voiceovers you must have the skills and training to compete. It is not about having a great voice. (Read my Blog "Confessions of a Great Voice" for more on that!)
The good news is that there is a lot of voiceover work to be had and even better: you can work from home and do voiceovers for clients all over the world.....thanks again, to the internet.
So, with that said, we're offering introductory workshops in August at our midtown Sacramento offices to tell you the truth and nothing but the truth about the voiceover industry. Everything you always wanted to know about voiceovers but were afraid to ask.
Call our office at 916-446-2004 for details on "Step up to the Mic" and "Discover Your Money Voice" coming up in August. Three hours of solid info in each workshop plus time behind the mic for only $75.00. A great deal......for a great career with unlimited earning potential!
