resources will help
I want to make sure that you find the right
voice for your project - even if it's not mine. :-) So here are
a couple of really great places for you to check for other voices.
They're also helpful for you to register with if you're interested
in getting into voice over work yourself:
I have a profile on both, but honestly, I find Voices.com to be
far more helpful to me as a voice over artist. I've gotten jobs
through that site merely through having a profile there and having
people email me directly - not only through answering audition calls.
Admittedly, I pay for a membership on Voices.com and I don't on
Voice123.com. But Voice123.com seems to have an "all or nothing"
attitude. If you don't pay for a top membership, you don't get much.
Whereas Voices.com has a sort of intermediate membership that you
can pay for to try it out. I also find Voices.com has a lot of very
helpful resources on their site that any voice over artist will
find invaluable. Check them out!
Putting together a demo and need background music? Producing a
film, podcast, school project, commercial, corporate video or anything
like that? Instant
Background Music is a great place to try. This could be
the cheapest way to get some really great music. They sell a package
of 97 songs for only $97 dollars! That's a pretty
sweet deal. I know from experience that background music for projects
can get really expensive. And these are professionally produced,
broadcast quality instrumental tracks in a whole bunch of different
genres. You can listen
to a demo of their stuff here (that's my voice interspersed
in the music there :) ).
Radio
411 has a ton of other voice over links, including other voice
over artists, studios, and services for anyone in the business.
Some of the links are outdated or not working, but the list is still
hugely extensive and well worth looking at.
I also found the Canadian
Recording Services website, a fantastic resource for finding
recording studios in Canada. Their
service is free and they deal with post-production for voice overs
- including studios that have ISDN.
EdgeStudio
has a ton of great resources (and they offer voice over training,
too!). Visit their answer
series for common questions and answers if you're intending
on becoming a voice over artist. You might also find their marketing
resources particularly useful.
If you're just getting started in voice
overs, or you're a seasoned pro and want to improve your craft (it's
a never-ending process, after all), one of the best places to visit
is VoiceActing.com.
There's tons of resources on their website, but one of the best
things you can do for your career is to pick up their book, The
Art of Voice Acting by James Alburger - which is widely accepted
as an industry standard.
Here are a couple of newsletters I highly recommend for voice talent:
