Hot hot hot in August!! But VO is still in full swing. Booked a few new gigs this month which I am super proud of! One…I’m the new voice of the show called “Dr. Oakley, Yukon Vet” on Nat Geo Wild! Such a great show so make sure to check it out on Nat Geo Wild! I also booked some commercials for Sherwin Williams paint…we recorded four in all. Commercials and Promos is stil where I book most of my work. When I tell people I do voice overs, one of the first things they ask me is “what characters do you do?” It’s such an interesting question because it makes me realize that so many think that voice over is about what voices you can create or what character on an animated series you are. Voice Over is so much more than creating interesting voices. Yeah that is a part of it, but in reality, voice over is everywhere. It’s training videos, rides at Disneyland, the on-hold voice you hear when you call your doctor’s office, etc. Literally everywhere. So while we as VO artists can create cool characters, a lot of us book on our own voices, the cadence and our authentic reads. Plenty of work for all of us!
If you think you have what it takes to make it in VO, send me an email and I will gladly set up an appointment with you.
