Voice over, like life is marketing. And marketing is discovering a way to give individuals what they are looking for. I never buy anything really from the late night "Sham Wow" guys, marketing master's and snake oil salesmen. However I need to confess I do like to listen to a well performed, well written and well delivered sales discussion. Listening to them is an education. Enjoy them and what they do. Business invest millions on marketing and it's not random. They have polls, focus groups, surveys and many other ways to determine what people desire and how to provide it to them. You can take advantage of what they do by taking note of marketing.

But what if you wanted to do voice overs for a living, or perhaps part-time? Say you harboured a dream to tell kids's stories, do animation and video game voices, or introduce your favourite television programs - where on earth would you begin? There is no career path here, no academic courses at colleges or university; even a drama curriculum may not cover such a specific niche interest.

Listen to the volume of the music and ask yourself, is the voice clear and easy to understand? If not, decrease your music. Be careful that many individuals discover it tough to identify in between voice and music for commentaries relayed on television and radio.

This applies to everybody who options to use videos or audios to market. Practice and know your market. You want to avoid having long uncomfortable "what am I expected to state now" pauses or those "I desire to get this over with" hurried moments.

For major podcasters, the main act is your material which is normally conveyed through the spoken word. Your music must produce the energy and enjoyment that draws your listener to what you need to state.

COUNTRY folk, your biggest obstacle now is to get customers. Concentrate on getting your website seen (pay-per-click with Google and Yahoo) and sending your link to all the regional companies in your town. They'll more than happy to know they don't have to go far to get an expert voice over for their commercial or internal narrative.

There will be those individuals who will desire an article to reveal them an easy way right to the cash. Well, there is no simple method. However I've revealed you some practical steps to get you into the video game. When you get into that arena is up to you, what you do. You can sit and watch or you can determine how to get onto the field. It's various for everybody. But, the chance exists. It's genuine.
