Did you catch the story on Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood that went behind the microphone, to focus on Voice Over Acting the Actors?
It was pretty interesting….Take a look:
Animation Voice Acting, Education, In The News, Personalities, Recodring, Technique Tips, Uncategorized, Video, Video Games
OK… So a lot of comments and email that I get relate to putting a demo together.
It’s not really hard, but it seems that a lot of people get overwhelmed in the details and not knowing exatly what to do. Soooo….I put this video together to let you break the tasks down into simple to follow elements.
Just go counter clockwise around the chart and complete the tasks. Before long you’ll be listening to your demo and sending it out to agents and producers! So, take a few minutes (about 25 minutes to be exact, but well worth the investment in time,) and let me know what you think…
Leave a comment or question. Thanks!

Funny? Yes! But, I’ll bet if you ask 9 out of 10 producers who have been working more than a few years, they have had a voice over session almost as bad! haha
Some good info for the aspiring Voice Over Actor. This posting came from a blog at The Southernexpressbluegrass.com Blog and was written by Vicki Amorose…Major props to her on a great posting!
This is actually written for Voice Over Directors…from a Voice Over Actor’s perspective, but it’s always good to get a feel for things on both sides of the microphone!

Advice for directors and producers, written from the perspective of the voice-over actor. Intended to improve the recording session experience. Use this article as a crash course, or to tune up your directing skills. These tips apply to voice acting of all types. The terms voice-over actor/voice-over talent/talent/actor are used here interchangeably.
When you are in the director’s chair at a voice-over session, the process can sometimes become a struggle for both you and the talent. You have a vision you need to share with the voice actor, a person who knows far less than you do about the product, message, or concept. At the same time, you hired that actor to bring his or her own unique skills to the project. Unlike the making of a film or a stage production, you do not have weeks to rehearse and analyze the script. The studio clock is ticking and that alone adds an element of anxiety to the recording session.
The following tips apply well to both in-person and long distance sessions. Read more…
