Albany- Getting Paid to Talk, Making Money with Your Voice

A fun and realistic intro into the world of Professional Voice Acting! PLEASE NOTE! Due to the popularity of this workshop we recommend enrolling early. This workshop tends to sell out. Whether you've been told you have a great voice, had compliments on your speaking style, or use effective communication in a current profession, this workshop will give you a behind-the-scenes look at how people make money every day with their voices. From audio books and training material, cartoons, documentaries, commercials and more, this workshop will introduce you to the growing field of voice-over. Today, opportunities for voice professionals have increased dramatically and unlike a decade ago, the range of voices cast for these opportunities continue to grow. Skilled voice professionals are more in demand than ever before. Join us to learn what the pros look for and how to avoid many common mistakes. We'll help you avoid web-based pitfalls and instead develop an action plan designed to build lasting success close to home! We’ll discuss industry pros and cons, answer questions, and play samples from working voice professionals. We'll also give you an opportunity to record a short script under the direction of your instructor. This seminar is fun, realistic, and a great first step for anyone interested in the voice over field. Get Paid To Talk covers: • What a voice-over is… You may not know the half of it! • What it is like on the job... We'll cite specific examples from work our team has produced for clients including Discovery, HGTV, and numerous others. • Which voice types are most in demand… Sincerity wins the job. • What a professional voice demo sounds like… You get one chance to make a first impression. • Where to look for work opportunities… In your own community. • How to avoid common mistakes… Simple ideas to increase your success. *Please note: We have arranged a special voice evaluation opportunity for early registrants of this workshop. Our host will provide details.
