Getting signed seems to be the major goal of VO Artists so I'm asking those who are signed to give the rest of us the 411 on what the game is about. What does it take to get signed? What does it mean…Continue

I'm going to focus more on enjoying this as an art form and less as a business. Also plan to think less about NYC and LA as the be all end all and more about all the opportunities that exist outside…Continue

Voices! I'm producing this Audiobook Title: Husband Unleashed
http://www.amazon.com/Husband-Unleashed-Til-Part-Volume/dp/14750400...
Its an Erotic Novel from a Best Selling Author and he wants an real Black Female voice to make his words sing! If your interest please contact me at unleashedaudio@yahoo.com and I can send you a short audition. This is a Royalty Share Contract with a short 40 page estimate of dialog.
Looking forward to hearing from the Audiobook Superstars!
Any members of this group located in the Atlanta Metro area?
Thanks for the advice Izaki. I understand the importance of developing my own style. I know what my style is, now the serious work is how to develop my style.
I look forward to learning from my fellow VU members and being an active participant on this blog.
Dwanda,
Welcome to Voice Over Universe, as far as advice, one that I can give is always remember to be you when reading. I assume that the people at Such a Voice will enforce this too. Its good to imitate those at the top right now; for sometime, but along the way you will need to find your voice, your style.
Another that I can give is it matters on how you read. It's not just what you read, but how you read it.
...I wish you the best.
Hello, I'm a newbie to VU and I just finished my demo this week. I'm looking for some marketing advice for voice over actors from the African American community.
Please share with me of any advice you have for pitfalls to avoid or tips that have worked with you that you would like to share. I'm so fortunate to find a forum for people of color. I would like to start a "meet up" group in my area, to network with other voice actors, but since I'm new to the voice over industry I have some apprehension. Does anyone have any advice?
Sad, but unbelievably true!
That's just part of the job... you'd do well to treat ebonics like any other foreign language and "embrace" it.
Just had one of Those sessions. I'm sure many of you can relate. Ha. Keep laughing.
What's up Magic...Thanks for the response, the advice and the encouragement. I will check out the webinars and reach out ot Melody Jones. You keep doing BIG THINGS! and you are silly...come back when you come back, lol
