Hi Kyle,

If you're just getting started, you've come to the right place.

Please set up a guest account on our service and build yourself a basic profile. Guest accounts are free and they do not expire. Once you have a guest account, access our community section and start reviewing any of the thousands of articles, podcasts, videos and other free information sections designed to allow you to get all the information you need to get set up as voice over artist.

Best of luck!

Kyle--
FIRST, get proper VO training via a reputable trainer or coach. SECOND, know that training is ongoing (not just a single workshop). THIRD, get a professionally produced demo (AFTER you have sufficient training). There's no shortage of entities waiting to take your money and exploit your VO dreams. Fact: You need more than just a "pretty voice." After all, what good is owning a Yamaha/Kawai/Baldwin grand piano if you can't play OR if you have poor technique? Same with your voice--which is your instrument. Also, a reputable trainer/coach will TELL you if you're wasting your time and $$$, even if it means not having easy access to your credit card. Becoming a (marketable) VO does not happen overnight; the industry is tough, competitive and full of VO wannabees and has beens struggling to reinvent themselves. Do your research (follow the VO blogs). Sorry to sound like a Grinch, but you asked ;;)) Good luck!
