So you’re thinking “people have been telling me for years that I have a great voice.” I’m sure you do. Really. I do believe you. But, what does that mean, really? Success in voiceover work depends very little on “having a nice voice.” My friend Kitzie Stern provides some insights, thoughts and links on her blog. It’s not a long piece and well worth a few minutes of your time.
Now might also be a good time to bring up my friend Philip Banks‘ 5 percent rule. Only five percent of the people who attempt to make a living at voiceover work will ever make any real money at it. Actually, it’s not so much a rule as an observation.
Hey Bob,
Thanks for visiting and commenting.
Kitzie,
You’re very welcome. Thank you for putting such interesting stuff on your blog.
Be well,
Bob
I personally think that the best thing you can do if you want to get started is practice and then some more practice. Practice and try to get better at it. Then record a demo and start applying for jobs. Did I mention practice?
Larry,
I quite agree. Practice is vitally important. Thank you for adding to the discussion.
Be well,
Bob
