A friend in the voice business, Bob Bergen http://bobbergen.com/ said to me recently that the industry doesn’t need another voice, it needs you. Who are you? What makes you uniquely you? There are plenty of sound alkies and such out there! His point to me was to be true to myself and allow my personality to shine through. Voice-coaches can help you identify market niches that fit your voice structure and personality. How far one stretches to become master at many types of reads is up to the individual. We all have people we look up to, keep looking up to them...but in doing so emulate what they are doing right. Put yourself out there for critique but be sure where it comes from!!! I hear many demos that someone told that someone that they were great, and I had to break the news to them it wasn’t so special.
All of us are capable of great things in life; seek out exemplary talent, coaches that live the life of being depended upon in the voice industry, find out what others say about them, it’s a small world in Voice-overs, professionals know who is making it, and who is not. So don’t just be another voice, be absolutely you. http://www.57thstreetmedia.com
