Practice, practice, practice! That’s an old joke, of course; but it’s also a truism about the voiceover business. While there’s not a lot of voiceover work on the stage at Carnegie Hall, working in the big leagues of voiceover requires much more than a pleasant voice and smooth delivery.
This point is underscored brilliantly at the VoiceBank.net VoiceRegistry Blog in their post called Practice Makes Voice Over Perfect. And after you’ve read the article, be sure to click through on the link at the bottom of the post for the podcast interview with voiceover teacher Bill Holmes.
My thanks to my friend and fellow voiceover talent Dan Nachtrab for pointing this article out to me today.
Hi Bob-
I’m glad you liked my VoiceRegistry.com blog “Practice Makes Voice Over Perfect.” Love your blog too! I checked out Dan Nachtrab’s website and blog (thanks Dan!) It’s great to see a pic of three voice over talents getting together. In addition to practice, relationships & networking are key. This is inspiration for a new blog and I will start with talking about you and your blog (Dan too)How’s that for networking? Gotta love the internet.
Tracy,
Thank you for your very kind comments. Dan is a terrific friend. I agree. The Internet has pushed open a lot of doors and helped to form a lot of connections I would have missed in the “old days.”
Be well,
Bob
