 In October of 2010, I attended the Master Class in Chicago, with many hopes and dreams of the possibilities that lay ahead. I had no idea the variety of VoiceOver projects that were available until we began digging into the manual. A few weeks after returning home from the MC, I set up my home studio and began to practice reading scripts, recording and editing. I kept the manual on my desk until I learned all the steps. I chose a business name, designed and ordered business cards, began to sign up with the social networking sites and free VO sites. It was 2 months later that I landed my first 'gig' voicing the Mrs Watters character for a Youtube video. Currently, every Tuesday night I work at WORT 89.9, Madison as a member of the Promos group. We produce promos for the station. Typically we write, voice, edit and fully produce 8 - 12 promos. This talent pool has a wide range of knowledge and experience from radio and television alike. I also Host "The Morning Show", Monday - Friday, 9am until Noon, on ASLN Christian Radio. This is completely unscripted and Voice Tracked, with no editing capability. This truly challenges me to either 'get it right' or do it over, and I don't like do overs! I'm learning more about breath control, speaking succinctly and clearly as well as creating topics for my show. How fun is that???!!! : ) The best paying VO project I completed during the summer was for CUNA; two eLearning programs used for training their employees. This was awesome. I went to their studio and was blessed with an Engineer, and you know what that means - right! Yep, HE did the editing. WOO HOO Throughout 2011, I also completed a Documentary Narration, which was especially challenging, in that the script was amended, changed and added to several times before the project was done. The film has not yet been released, however I look forward to the screening when it occurs. I have done several PSA's, one went International, airing on Canadian radio stations. I voiced the character of Mrs. Watters on a Youtube SIMS video. Not my best work, but it was early in my career and I was completely excited to be chosen for the part. I discovered the 'elf' character voice in me, when I voiced a promo for a radio station during Christmastime. I've produced Telephone Greetings and On-Hold Phone Messages for a variety of companies, announced Cheer Squads, DJ's and have done a few other liners as well. I was invited to audition to be a Co-host of a Podcast - but declined the offer as it was not the genre or the image I wish to portray in my business. I find some of the projects and some of them find me. I know people are checking out my VFA webpage because the visitor counter is rising steadily. I look forward to the day I can quit the day job, I also know this will take time and perseverance on my part. Laurie H. - WI
