   Hi Terry,
   Thank you soooo much for sharing this with everyone. At present, I work full time as a commercial producer for a TV station and I record freelance voiceover from my home studio. It’s wonderful to hear such a pro talent as youself in a directed environment. You handle being directed with amazing grace and professionalism. What a great example of how important it is to respect your client and do as you are instructed.

   Best,
   Dory

   Thanks, Terry, for confirming and validating my thoughts about the likelihood of success from the membership sites, and that there is much work elsewhere.

   Thanks for the information and inspiration.

   Thank you.. Terry for your words/videos of encouragement. Your videos are a great source to lots of my friends just starting out and very “strap” for money…

   Wow, I’m energised! Thanks, Terry. I’m one who has been fortunate with the Canadian membership site I started with, so it would be too easy just to let things stick. Of course, as versatility develops, it is good sense to become more visible – or audible! You remind me that although Brits like me are lucky to get gigs across the pond, and we enjoy the vitality of your industry, there’s a whole field here in UK to play.

   Thanks Terry! Wonderful advice and voice!

   I wanted to ask you a question regarding your set up. It looks like you have regular wall behind you. How do you get your room so nice and quiet without insulation?

   Great advice Terry!

   I have tried several of these sites and found it to be just as you said. Sound advice to those of us trying to make it in the biz.

   Question though, is it necessary to have a demo cd made for these sites?

   Thanks
   Mary

   Great advice Terry once again. Voiceovers is like the stock market. If you put all your eggs in one basket. how silly is that. Spread yourself out .

   Audioboo is awesome! This is a great tutorial. Audioboo has stuck around amongst some of the others dying out. SoundCloud is also a great place to upload and then embed into your FB status.

   Yes, who is cuter? Me or Daddy? Daddy did a good job too!!!
   Great job, kids!

   Since all my kids have 4 legs, I’d have to settle for whinneys, knickers, barks and meows. And that would take some coaching!

   Hey, thanks everyone. Rosie plays that game on her iPod every day now, and I think she takes it for granted that the voice is her. Now all she wants to know is when she gets her next gig! I answer, “Welcome to the world of voice-overs, and that’s the question that will be in your head for years to come.”

   This was refreshing to see. It reminded me of the beginning session I had with Terry as he coached me on my first reads. Rosie, however, has a more natural feel for things than I did. I just couldn’t get it straight: you look into the camera and talk into the mic, not the opposite…

   Great information you put out Terry. Wondered how water making was done with recordings.

   awesome! been using adobe forever and never knew about “generate tones”, so there you are. Go figure. What I have done is create a “watermark track” of beeps and blips and have been going to multi-track format ro mix the two (after saving the clean file, of course). This is easier. thanks, Mike !!!!

   Nice piece, but you don’t tell anyone how to get the watermarks out.

   @Jan:
   If you watch closely in the video, Mike saves the original file without the watermarks, then makes a new copy with the watermarks.

   This can also be done using Audacity, which is a free program available by download.

    Hi Mike,

    For auditions I will change a word or leave something off – rather then use tones. For actual work with a new client, I stopped using tones and usually send a low quality recording if I am concerned about not getting paid – but will consider watermarking with tones again. Thanks for the reminder.

    However! Instead of “inserting” the tone – which basically opens up the recording and adds the tone – wouldn’t you want to highlight and “select” a very short segment and “replace” it with the tone? (Kind of like what Randye was doing in the multi-track mix.)

    In theory if you add it, it could be edited out – since it is not actually covering anything up. In reality, they probably don’t have the software and editing skills to do it, but, it is possible.
