Description
Have you ever wondered if you could make money doing voiceovers on the side? In this course, I'll walk you through everything I've learned over the past 25 years on how to train your voice, set up your home studio, and grow a thriving side-business of happy return-clients. You'll learn about genres and styles, and I'll teach you how to control your tone and pacing. I'll give you tips on how to find scripts, and you'll practice vocal exercises with me and learn how to enunciate and emphasize. You'll experiment with using parts of your mouth and even your body to create character voices. You'll learn what producers and clients are looking for and how to meet their expectations. You'll learn the equipment you need to set up your own home studio, along with tips for creating your demo reel. You'll start putting together the information you need to set up your profile page, and I'll share advice on how to get some initial experience in the business. And if you're a Christian, I'll give you some tips in an extra pdf to get jobs with companies who are aligned with your values. For more than two decades, I've loved my fantastic side job recording hundreds of voiceovers and making tens of thousands of dollars. Now, I want to instill confidence in you that you can do it, too. No need to wonder any longer because...You Can Be a Voiceover Artist!
