HERE'S WHAT VOICE ACTORS ARE DOING AROUND THE WORLD!
Morning Folks,
If you've read any of my older posts... you know I'm a closet workaholic... not so much that I like to work... I don't but rather I can't stop myself from going from project to project... I like to experiment. It often means that my…
Misconceptions
One of the biggest misconceptions about the voice over industry that I have come across is that it is easy to be a full time voice over artist. Personally I would love to have enough clients to sustain me and my family month in and m…

- HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE
- Early in my career I worked as a voice over artist for companies subcontracted by Disney to dub their existing animated movies and series into Arabic for the middle east disney channel. I worked on ducktales as the voice of Launchpad Mcquack in the full 100 some episodes of the series as well as the movies (or two... cant quite remember) I also did incidental characters and I did the voice of Mr. Scrooge's butler. I also worked on the little mermaid movie as incidental characters (things like the magic cave and sailor number 3) I also worked as a channel announcer for Disney Singapore for a short period of time in 1997. Later on in when I moved to canada I took a few courses at the Broadcasting Institute in toronto. I have narrated over 40 medical conference videos for companies like GlaxoSmithKline, Astrazeneca, Novartis and Bayer. I have done radio ads for the Natural Gas Vehicles company here in egypt and the voice over for instructional videos for Johnson and Johnson's Oral B. Most recently I did the voice over for an online course for the Edcomm Group.

Taji's New Project - Voiceover Buy & Sell
Morning Folks,
If you've read any of my older posts... you know I'm a closet workaholic... not so much that I like to work... I don't but rather I can't stop myself from going from project to project... I like to experiment. It often means that my projects end up being duds... but every once in a while something works out the way I'd like it to.
So during my last vacation I got the idea of this new project. I had promised myself that I would not do any work while on vacation... and I did lose… Continue

Invoicing: Online or Offline?

I don't know how it started but a f… Continue

So a couple of weeks have passed since I posted part one of this article which is:

Tips For Becoming Self-Employed & Staying That Way
I've always been one to set goals for myself. When I was younger it was all about becoming a musician my list kind of looked like this:
- find a good band and get into it
