I recently had the pleasure of speaking about the voiceover industry at Toastmasters District 39 Spring Conference held at the Hilton in Sacramento. This is my second speaking engagement with Toastmasters and it was nice to meet both old and new Toastmasters friends .

How To Break Into the Voiceover Business

cammie — Sun, 06 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0100

The voiceover business sure has come a long way since I broke into the biz, which are more years ago than I care to admit. Back in my day it was all about promoting youself to the local production houses and ad agencies in hopes that you could, with time and perseverance, break into the 'good old boys club' and develop a steady stream of paying customers.

It wasn't easy.

Today the business runs in a completely different way and we all must thank the world [...]

The Importance of Having a Home Recording Studio

cammie — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 00:00:00 +0100

It used to be, back in the old days (like 5 years ago), that all voiceover work was done in a professional recording studio. The client, producer, engineer and voice talent would all drive to a local recording studio and produce audio.

Nowadays a very high percentage of voiceover work is produced in home studios. In my case a good 80% of all the voice work I do is done in my home studio. Clients love voiceover talents that have home studios as it as it saves them money and time. [...]
