Exploring the Decision to Hire Male vs. Female Voice-Over Talent

The battle of the sexes definitely rolls over into the voice-over arena these days. Actually, there’s not really a battle going on, but rather a very good question:

Is it better for your company or client to hire male or female voice-over talent?

Like most things in life, there is no cut-and-dried, right or wrong answer. But my experience » Continue Reading.

Ask for What You Want and You Just Might Get It

Fear is one sneaky little critter, and it can be a pretty crafty foe when it comes to stopping us from doing all kinds of things…

Like asking for what we want.

I’m not talking about asking for what we want by slamming down our fist with a ridiculous demand. I’m referring to polite and non-threatening requests that can » Continue Reading.

Let’s say you’re looking to buy a new book, pair of shoes or computer, or even scoping out hotels near your upcoming vacation destination. If one of the first things you do is check out online reviews, you’re certainly in good company.

The Dangers of Judging and Comparing Yourself to Other Voice Artists

I found this article by James Clear to be very insightful and thought-provoking. It is relevant for voice artists and anyone who “creates” for a living, which includes a lot of people beyond our typical definition of what an artist is.

My Accidental Niche – Voice Overs for Children’s Toys

It never really gets old. As a voice over professional, when you hear your voice on a commercial spot, or a promo, or some animated project on TV or radio, it is always a bit of a treat.

It’s not quite like being a pop star and hearing your song played on the radio, but it’s still pretty cool.

These » Continue Reading.

Is Your Voice Over Talent Website Mobile-Friendly?

If you are a working voice over talent, you know it’s imperative that you have your own personal website to showcase your talent. Everybody knows that, right?

John DiMaggio’s Documentary About Voice Over Actors

As voice over actors, we talk, we write, we dialogue with other actors, and we commune.

The voiceover community as a whole has warmth among its members. Even though we are competing with each other (sometimes daily, and sometimes in the same casting studio) we are somehow part of the same team. We share in each other’s successes, and defeats. » Continue Reading.

Healthcare Commercial Voiceover for Nevada Health Co-Op

I just found one of my most recently completed healthcare commercial voiceover spots on my client’s Facebook page. This spot is for the Nevada Health Co-op which helps people navigate various healthcare-related insurance decisions.

This is a great example of how to take some relatively bland information and make it very personable and engaging. A clever concept with the line, » Continue Reading.

Veterans Day Commercial Spot for Supermarket Chain Pays Sincere Tribute

For many retailers in today’s competitive market, Veterans Day is another opportunity for an advertised sale, along with special discounts for anyone who has served in the military. As voice over professionals, we often record commercial spots to sell furniture or cars or hardware supplies for the one-day holidays like Memorial Day, President’s Day and Veterans Day.

So, it’s nice to » Continue Reading.

Celebs Are Taking VO Roles Away from Voice Over Community… Really?!

A few months back, I saw an article posted in one of the voice over community chat groups in Google. The title of the article was: Celebrities are Silencing Career Pros in Animation Voice Work.

Provocative title, right?

I see and enjoy all of these animated films… Not only because I’m a » Continue Reading.
