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 for your comments, Leanette. It may sound like a good idea but this isn’t the way to do a voiceover demo. A demo needs to be produced by a professional voiceover coach and after a series of coaching sessions. Community television stations are not staffed with professional voiceover coaches.

A tidbit that you may deem useful….

If your local area has a Community television station (most areas do), then most likely they have a Radio broadcast dept. that will allow you to volunteer some time during the week, and in exchange – produce a starter demo CD for FREE. There are two CC’s in my area (Grand Rapids, MI) and both offer this for artists wanting to get into professional voice-overs. Their equipment is usually SOA (state of the art) too. Check them out.

Pretty sweet

I have just recently become interested in voice-overs. I had found a website that was giving me the opportunity to record and send it “somewhere” for an evaluation. Now I cannot find it. I practiced the script(s), then lost the website. Can you help me with any of those sites? I would love to see what kind of an evaluation I might get. I have no training in voice-overs; however, I am a singer/songwriter. Can you help?

I enjoyed your video on tongue twisters!

Thanks.

Dave, you’ve given me an idea… a postcard – or fridge magnet – with a QR code linking to a website could be effective!

Hi Dave!

Any graphic design place can do this for you. Also, try shutterfly!

Hmmm….refrigerator magnet business cards. I have business cards, but never thought of turning them into magnets. Terry, what place/site would you recommend for ordering magnet business cards?
