If you have actually ever been informed that you have an excellent voice, then you may have thought about utilizing that great voice in an expert way - as a singer, commentator or as a voice over talent. Voice over, or adding your voice to ads and tape-recorded messages, can be a really lucrative field for an experienced skill.

However what if you wished to do voice overs for a living, and even part-time? State you harboured a dream to narrate children's stories, do animation and computer game voices, or present your favourite TV programmes - where on earth would you begin? There is no career path here, no scholastic courses at colleges or university; even a drama curriculum may not cover such a specific niche interest.

This part should be really easy for you. Just do a search for "Voice Over Class" and "your city" with Google. Of course, there may be classes offered at your local universities and carrying out arts centers. Ask around for good word-of-mouth about them. Then sign-up with the best and attend! (Prevent classes that end with you paying another $1000 for a demo reel).

So what makes a great quality voiceover? Plainly there is some subjectivity to the matter, however in basic the voice needs to be clear, up-front, simple to comprehend, have level volume (you can hear the loud parts and the pulps without pain or straining, respectively), and is as noise-free as possible. Let's begin at the beginning of the recording session.

Real story: as soon as upon a time I worked building fighter jets. The producer of the jets wished to discover a method to get the pilots to pay attention when they had to immediately take an action - such as pulling up if they were flying too low to the ground. They chose to develop into the airplane a voice alert system (sorta like today's "a door is an ajar" voice that your cars and truck has).

The calling director has one copy of the script and another copy is inside the recording booth. Each page consists of special codes such as time codes that show the minute the voice star must start his work.

So you wish to be a voice over star? It can be done. Get solid voice over training. Get an expertly produce demo. Establish your house studio and accomplish broadcast quality recordings. Market yourself directly in your market and look for the support of a representative to provide you a wider reach in the voice over market. And for the top tasks join the unions and play in the major leagues. All the best and go for it! And keep talking!
