Radio Sales Café

Hello,
This is for all the wonderful people who visit this great sight. Thanks to all of you, I've gotten some really useful and valuable info by being a member of the "cafe". i am very interested in doing voiceover work. Over the past 20 yrs. I've been told many times "you.ve got a great voice" or "I could listen to you talk all day". I would appreciate any leads and or help with how I might pursue this. Any ideas???????? I beleive my voice is my gift and I would like to use it and of course get paid!!!!!!!!!!

Herbert, You'll find a variety of helpful materials at Dan O'Day's website (www.danoday.com) - including some audio courses on developing a career as a v/o artist. It's a tough, competitive game, and many people want to get into it. I read somewhere not too long ago that just five guys are doing 80% of the network v/o work these days. Five guys - out of the thousands of people who voice commercials professionally! Years ago there was a very talented guy working here in Pullman-Moscow doing an airshift and lots of production. He applied for a production director's job in LA with the Salem stations and got it. Being in LA gives him the opportunity to land freelance gigs - I hear him doing national work once in a long while - but it's a tough gig to sustain, even for someone with a lot of talent. That said, you might want to sign up with online voiceover services - like www.voice123.com or www.voiceover.com - and see if you can get auditions. There are quite a few online groups for voiceover artists. A diligent Google search will get you started in the right direction. Best of luck to you!
