One of the very best ways to break into the voice over market is to actually work for a radio or television station in the on-air department. When it comes to a television station you need to be worked with by the production department. If you have a great adequate voice you will be doing commercials as part of your routine production schedule, in either radio or Television. This will give you a chance to practice and learn your skills as you mix voice, music and sound results.

So you have the chops and skills, you have the demo to back them up and you're ready to take your act upon the roadway. Uh, where is the road?? The answer is, it's all around you! There are voice over jobs in narration, commercials, animation, video video games, promotions and trailers, audio books, toys, amusement park and so on, etc. These tasks are readily available in significant markets like Los Angeles, New York City, Atlanta, Dallas and Chicago. However in today's new media market lots of jobs are produced in smaller sized markets too. Contact the kinds of organizations that use voice talent. Some examples are promoting firms, video production services and web business. If there is a big company with its headquarters near your town, get in touch with the corporate marketing department. Look for regional, corporate and regional work.

Among the most dangerous state of minds you can adopt if you're an entrepreneur or a voice-over artist like me is to think you can stop marketing and actively using your efforts to your business, even if you're so busy. You may even kid yourself that you merely don't have TIME to do any marketing, since you're so hectic.

Don't get discouraged if the sound professional is not as helpful as you desire him to be. Sometimes they are frustrated voice overs too. Ask a good friend to join you in the recording studio and ask for an unabashed feedback on your voice.

This part should be really simple for you. Simply do a look for "Voice Over Class" and "your city" with Google. Obviously, there might be classes offered at your regional universities and performing arts centers. Ask around for good word-of-mouth about them. Then sign-up with the very best and attend! (Prevent classes that end with you paying another $1000 for a demo reel).

My friend for instance was really excited about completing her very first video and her voice communicated that. She would have benefited by doing some voice exercises and practicing several times in front of the mirror. This would have helped her to warm up her voice and made her more positive so might speak in a clear, professional way.

As you see, you can utilize your own voice or somebody else's professional voice for your promotional video or company endeavor. There are many little aspects you need to think about. You do these correctly and it will sound so much better and your message will go through really clearly. If you do it incorrectly, the error(s) will stick out as well. So, utilize voice to your own advantage, put emotion into it, use your own accent, usage raw feeling, be yourself, match your voice to the market, and above all, just have a good time. Your marketing piece needs to be fun and it should be inviting. As long as your message gets delivered, it's what is very important.
