Description

Magnetic Attraction

Voiceover work has a natural appeal to radio people and podcasters...and that only makes sense.  The same things that drew you and me toward radio are there to be had in the voiceover area.  Once again, we find ourselves behind the mic, using our voices in creative ways in a performance art (and one that can pay very, very well). 

Because of their experience (and natural abilities), radio people have the wind at their backs as they move into voiceover work.  In this course, I talk about the inherent benefits we bring to voice acting.  I also describe some of the ways radio people need to "change their ways" to adapt themselves to VO work.  As someone who spent 20 years in radio, and now over-20 years successfully freelancing, I'm able to give you solid insights into what it takes to move forward with this really fun pursuit, and turn it into extra income.

We'll talk about the ways voiceover technique differs from radio technique, and how to develop styles that are highly in demand among those who hire voiceover people.  We'll geek out on gear,  software, home studio setup, and demo creation.  We'll talk about the many ways we can offer our services.  And we'll wrap up with a fun tour of my voiceover studio, which is fully modern, but with many "retro" touches my fellow radio people will enjoy.

Who this course is for:

  • This course is designed specifically for people who have been in radio or podcasting, or who presently are, and who have an interest in the possibility of doing voiceover work to earn extra income
