To work in Hollywood is often a dream of every child who has ever seen a movie. Becoming a voice over talent has often been the dream of many an adult. While a number of male voice over talents often apply for jobs, only about one in a thousand make the cut. The limited availability of jobs, and those whom just do not have the voice for this kind of work can speak to the pros and cons of the business.
Individuals becoming involved in the industry need to have the ability to speak in a clear and natural voice. This is true whether being asked to speak in the voice of God, or a sexy sultry woman. When individuals can do so, there are often a number of different jobs within the industry for which these individuals may qualify. Unfortunately, those speaking in a monotone voice, or those who have no vocal control, generally need not apply.
Becoming involved in the business can often take time. When an interest exist, it is often best to research the industry and attend a few classes and workshops before applying for jobs. Not only does one then have related educational experience, it is also shows that the individual has initiative to learn and study on an independent basis. Something that is often necessary for each and every voice over opportunity.
There are often jobs available in every sector of the industry. From advertising to movies and sit-com, these individuals often provide narration, and other voice over work. Talents are also needed for websites, online ads, and other areas of film and television.
Whether male or female, there are some things an individual needs to know to become successful. First, it is important regardless of the position and tone, to always sound natural. Whether talking in sultry sexy voice, or the voice of the God, vocals need to be as clear and natural, unless directed otherwise.
It is important when applying to assure that the application is complete and correct. If and when providing a recording as part of the process, recordings should be made in either a professional, or home recording studio. Whether recorded at home, through an online recording program, or at a studio, it is important to include a number of different vocal samples.
Some studios prefer individuals work on-site, given the right attitude and persuasion one can still often work from home. When provided this opportunity, it is essential to always meet deadlines early, or on time. Otherwise, the opportunity not only to work at home but to work at all may be eliminated, often without notice. It is also important that when requested to attend meetings at a studio or other location to show up looking professional and on time.
Professional actors have an edge, so all application tapes and recordings need to be as professional as possible. Otherwise, individuals are most likely only wasting time. Whereas, those submitting professional recordings, along with well thought out and accurate applications often have at least some chance of finding work in the industry.
