Introduction

“You’ve got a great voice!”

“You should be doing commercials!”

“You should be doing cartoons!”

 

I’m going to take a chance here! At some point in the past, someone said something to you similar to the above statements. And you’ve become inspired! Or perhaps voiceover has been a life-long dream and you finally have time to start learning about what “VO” is all about. Either way, the idea of working in voiceover may have been percolating for a few years, or you may have already dabbled a bit. You picked up this book because you realize that there’s a lot you don’t know, and you’ve finally decided to get serious and “take the leap.”

Congratulations!

It doesn’t matter if you are studying voiceover as part of a higher education curriculum ...
