You Oughtta Be In Voiceovers
Ever been told you should be doing voiceovers? Ever told someone they should be doing voiceovers? Here's a brief but must-read article on the reality behind what the next step actually entails.
UPDATE: A fellow voice talent shared her experiences, in a response to this post in another forum. Here are her thoughts:
My reality: $14,000 later with a professional demo and directors, agents and actors telling me I'm competitive and the top student in the working professional classes, agents all told me "I have that niche filled." and "I'm sorry, you're too old to portray children. You can't possibly understand their motivations."
An audiobook startup is happy to use me for character work in exchange for copies of the books and a small mixer board they outgrew. My voice is on another "resume job" display in a museum of coin-op amusements.
I return to working on advancing my day job career with dreams of building a studio of my own to record the antique children's books I've collected.
For everyone who makes it big, how many are working with broken dreams?
