SUCCESS UPDATE: Last week I recorded my first paid voiceover with a local radio station (less than 4 months after the Master Class)! We recorded 6 or 7 advertisements in 45 minutes; I was amazed at the fast pace after spending 2 hours in the booth at the Master Class. I felt extremely comfortable with the equipment and the lingo used by the radio station's owner. It was exhilerating to finally put it all into practice!
The Voices For All team literally gave me all of their knowledge and expertise regarding the voiceover industry. They handed me an open book and an open invitation to any updated information that may become available in the future. Attending the Master Class unlocked other resources and support that are going to be essential to my success. I went from thinking the class fee was a lot of money to wondering how they provide all of this service for so little. Finishing with a demo is an added bonus. I loved recording!
SUCCESS UPDATE: I've been making phone calls for political candidates, for which I am receiving a salary. I've also done some unpaid but very fun voice acting in some Internet audio productions. I starred in their production of "The Pit and the Pendulum," played a humorous (and very Scottish) Dr. Jekyll in the Jekyll and Hyde episode of their "Two Sides to Every Story" series, and played multiple roles in several episodes of their series "The Misadventures od Sherlock Holmes." The show's producer, who is English, said of one of my voices, "That's one of the best English accents I've ever heard!"
And of course I remain active with the Those Were The Days Radio Players.
So I'm still chasing that elusive voiceover career, but in the meantime I'm getting lots of practice!
The VFA Master Class was a blast, and I'm very thankful to (and in awe of) the whole crew for their enthusiasm, encouragement, and ongoing help and support. I've never been more confident that I can actually get into this business than I am after meeting y'all!
