More and more casting directors are looking for regular, "conversational" voices to represent a product in a commercial or to play the animated moose in a new Hollywood flick, but the competition is fiercer now than ever before. In a business that is "more risk than reward, more heartbreak than success," author Talon Beeson will show you in Starting Your Career in Voice-Overs how to beat the odds, improve your skills, make the right connections, and build a career in the voice-over business. Some of the topics covered in this book include: Warm-up exercises for the voice Reading everything-jokes, telephone numbers, video games, commercials, feature films, and more Cold reads Analyzing scenes and translating that analysis to voice Creating demo tapes Representing and marketing yourself effectively Equipment and recording at home And many more! This instructional book for professionals presents readers with varying techniques, exercises, and theories to practice-a vocational foundation guaranteed to elevate an actor's game. In an ingenious and instructive way, Beeson relates voice work to the greatest dramatist of all times, William Shakespeare.
