Have you ever wondered how the actors and actresses that do voiceover work started out?
Many of them have been musicians or classically trained singers prior to becoming voice over talent. They’ve learned through their training – either by playing musical instruments or using their voice the subtle rhythms and breathing techniques, gained vocal stamina and learned how to project their voice properly through their musical training. All of this experience comes out in the form of well developed tone, inflection, diction and phrasing when they do their voiceovers. I bet you never thought of that did you?
If you have a musical background you might do well in the Voiceover industry. If you’ve ever thought of working in this field think about contacting voices.com. This company puts people seeking work in voiceovers in touch with companies such as radio and television stations that are looking for voiceover talent together and makes it easier for each to satisfy their goals.
