Whats up my voiceover family!!!! It has been a long time since I have been on here but I just want to see how everyone is doing. Is anyone working these days as it pertains to vo? I almost worked on a vo for the MJ coin collection but lost it to someone in LA. I know.... what a bummer...but hey they loved my voice I just was not in LA. All I can say is keep your head up and keep rockin the mic!!! I hope to work soon if you need a voice im available. Take care,

Hey All!
I'm new to the site, and to VO work! I'm flying through the obvious groups to join up and see what kind of feedback and help I can get! I'm a radio producer, and voice local commercials plenty, but I'm hoping to get into something more creative! Games! Cartoons! Whatever! I write, produce, and voice a segment at the station I work at called 'listener mail', where I answer questions from listeners as 'Frankie the cab driver'.
Sample:

I only voice the cabbie! Any thoughts? Suggestions? Critiques? I'd love to hear 'em!

Hello everyone, new to the group so I thought I would say hey....HEY.
I'm a radio DJ for a local fm station here in OKC (weekend overnights), and as the shift is late night weekends my listener responses are well...limited. My real question is this, where would be the best place to post requests for listener drops and such. There not paying gigs at all just quick little I'm listening stuff. Thanks for the help.

Judy, I use Quickbooks. Its easy to customize your invoices both for using your branding and for listing the various items for a job. Example: "Tags" or "Commercial Body"

I'd like to know what invoicing program you use. Is there something that works best for VO needs? Do you have any other info to share regarding record keeping?

From my experience, best is to focus on relation marketing, network marketing, optimize customer benefit, run the VO bizniz just like any other small business, regardless of the product. Think of yourself not primarily as a voice actor, but a subcontractor in an industry. Get your own website ( I recommend HTML based) and make sure that the key searchwords are in the meta tags, and make it clean and professional Most people who hunt for talent on the Internet have very little time for fancy flash intros, and too much info clutter is confusing and time-consuming.

Hey everyone!

Its nice to be able to come to a site like this and read and learn so much from all of you. With that being said, if anyone gets a chance, could you please listen to my Production Sample on my page and give me some feedback. Good or Bad, is fine either way.

Thanks for taking the time!

-Kyle
