VOICEOVER PARTY!
Well hey there, aspiring voice actor!
If you are trying to figure out what you should be doing to make money in voice over, you're in the right place.
This information will help you determine if a career in voice acting is right for you.
Your first goal should be to educate yourself on what exactly a career in voiceovers is all about and if it is a good fit for your life.
Please take your time with this process. If you are a hyper-hamster and rush through the learning process, not only will you NOT see results, but you'll waste time and money.
But what do I know :) - I've only been making a living at this since FOREVER!
SAID THIS WITH LOVE
SLOW THE F*&# DOWN! Take your time, enjoy the journey, and focus on your education!
HOW TO GET VOICEOVER
WORK
its just talking...right?

You can put 20 voiceover actors in a room, and they will all describe their profession differently. That's because the industries we serve can vary greatly.
Voiceover is not a single industry. We are a collective of actor service providers that serve various industries. Confused? Ok, let me explain.
Most voiceover actors have a specialty genre or a particular skill set that meets the needs of a specific client or application. We literally don’t all do the same thing.
Not all voiceover actors excel in all areas of voiceover performance.
When you meet voiceover actors, ask them what area(s) of voiceover they work in.
Things all voice actors share in common:
We are independent business owners or solopreneurs.
All voiceover actors talk into a microphone for a living.
We own, maintain, and operate our own (mini) recording facility, usually from homes.
All voice actors are excellent readers with above-average vocabularies who read aloud with only a minimal number of errors.
We are paid as freelance vendors or contract employees by the companies who hire us.
We are not just people with 'nice' voices. we are actors with highly technical audio skills.

It's just some of the common areas in which
voiceover actors are hired for jobs.
Here’s another way to view the maze of various voiceover jobs.
Teachers share a professional job title. However, there is a vast difference in the skills and expertise of an elementary school teacher compared to a college physics professor.
High School art teachers and corporate trainers are also types of teachers. You encounter hundreds of teachers in your life but not all of them are math teachers. The same is true for voice actors.

If you are struggling to afford voiceover coaching, I recommend
My friend and fellow voiceover actor Anthony Pica runs this amazing group. I teach a weekly class with them, too.
The Academy is packed with archival learning from previous classes, new classes, live events, plus the most amazing voiceover Discord group I have ever seen! It's a private group for members and it is the answer to voiceover social media burnout.
