In the freelance voice-over business, we all wear many hats. The acting hat, the marketing hat, the book-keeping hat… The John Deere hat, the dunce cap, and the one with the mouse ears…It’s possible that you are a voice-actor by choice…

Dan Roberts commented on John Matthew's blog post 'Character Voice Acting Basics - Consistency'
Thanks for the article, John. Good stuff! Brent mentioned catch-phrases. A producer I I know tells me that all of the actors she works with (including myself) use catch-phrases to get into character. As it happens, it's usually a line from our orig…

I didn't sleep much last night. I guess we'll see how good of an actor I am today as I fake being awake.

The hit film “Despicable Me” follows the trend of casting celebrities in animated features, but with a twist: the actors are doing character voices, rather than just lending their familiar pipes to a version of their on-screen personas. Steve Car…

Dan Roberts commented on Penny Abshire's group 'Positive Thinkers UNITE!'
Good topic Penny! This has been on my mind this week. Did anyone catch Tony Robbins 'Breakthrough' on NBC this past Monday? Tony took a parapalegic, who felt trapped in his wheel-chair, and had him tandem-jump out of a helicopter. He said it was th…

Branding Your Voiceover Business

One thing nobody is discussing enough on the voice-over websites is branding your business. Branding is who you are, and how you're percieved in the marketplace. Coca Cola is not selling sticky, brown, carbonated liquid in a can. Over the years Coca Cola has told us that Coke is It! Coca Cola adds life! Have a Coke and a smile. And currently, they'd like you to pop open a little happiness.

Thanks Dan! I thought I would make it as easy as possible for someone to listen to them. It wasn't a vain move, more strategic in nature. Maybe we will connect at Voice2010, you are going are you not? Hope to meet you there. Take care and continued success.

Hi Dan, I've been on the fence about Voice2010. I would love to go and know it would be great, but I still don't have my home studio up and running and with my current business budget I think I should spend the money that way.
