Voice Over work has always been intriguing to me... my friends and I tease one another each time we hear CREE SUMMER on Tiny Toons or Inspector Gadget and a host of others who have that residual income coming in from their voice over projects. I've always DREAMED of being a cartoon character!! Now, I"ve never put a demo reel together to showcase my talent as a voice actor. What do I need to do to make that happen and THEN...... HOW OR WHERE DO I LOOK FOR WORK????

I sent this response to another individual asking the same questions...(and I'm gonna send it to everyone else who asks...it's inexhaustible)...Training is the beginning; which is an expensive process, but worth it (with the RIGHT training, of course). Go to www.voiceoverresourceguide.com for mucho info. Go to www.voicebank.net to hear some of err'body that's out there. You want training AND success? First forget about how you sound and how many voices you can do, then go to www.braintracksaudio.com and tell Nancy I sent you. She's the truth. She has an 87% or greater, turnover rate of getting her students signed to an agent, working or BOTH. Make sure you stay by your computer when you email her, she's good to respond within minutes.
thank you dearly
I live in Atlanta, GA and just from looking at the site, it seems the focus is on all things in California. Is there any other listings available to search the country for classes?

There is a HUGE resource in Atlanta. You need to connect with Voiceovercity. They have a number of educational opportunities plus meet and greets with industry leaders and decision makers. I have done a couples things with them and have talked with the owner Gerald on a number of occasional. Visit voiceovercity.com and they even have a VO meetup group at meetup.com. Wishing you an awesome VO journey and hope to see you in these career circles!
