 How I got a voice over agent - Overview





This blog post is an overview of the: How I got a voice over agent video that I uploaded to my YouTube channel, a link to the video is below. I have also put a link to the audio version below.


As an actor if you want to get work there are a number of things you need, a CV (resume) listing your credits, a showreel, and if you want to do any form of voice work you need to have a voice reel, this is a short compilation of voice clips, that is used to sell yourself to agents, producers and casting directors.


In the video I talked about the process of finding a voice reel company, and how I prepared for the recording session, I talked about what happened during the recording session, I also talked about what happened after the recording session, in regards to receiving my voice files. 


In my video I name the voice reel company I used, feel free to use them, however I would like to point out there are other voice reel companies out there, two things you should look out for are the following: first, when looking on websites ask yourself ‘Do these clips sound good?’ If the answer is no, look at another company. Secondly look for companies that will give you the best bang for your buck.


Once you have your voice reel, then you can write to voice agents, keep your e mail concise and to the point. Expect rejection. In the video I talk about my experience of writing to voice agents, and how I eventually got my voice agent.

A POEM CALLED - GOLDFISH

 A POEM CALLED - GOLDFISH  I recently wrote a poem about what it means to be confined, in this poem I use a Goldfish as an extended metaphor, I am sure most people understand a Goldfish has an incredibly bleak life. Let me know your thoughts below in the comments. Goldfish​ ​ What is life? Here today gone tomorrow.​ I have circled the bleak perimeter, dozens of times, nay!​ Hundreds of times? Nay!... thousands, I have circled the perimeter thousands of times. Nay! I have circled the perimeter too many times to count.​ ​ What is life? Here today gone tomorrow.​ I dream of soaring through the air, like a Majestic Bumble Bee in a field. I long for the tender rays of sun to radiate on my gills. SMACK! I've done it again, while daydreaming about life out of this hell I've collided with the glass on my cell.​ ​ What is life? Here today gone tomorrow.​ What is life? Life is what you make of it.​ What is life? Life is the great unknown, no one k

THE TYPES OF MEDIA I USE

  THE TYPES OF MEDIA I USE ( Photo by   Julius Drost on   Unsplash ) I was recently watching old episodes of Hot One’s on YouTube that I previously skipped over. (a show where people eating increasingly spicy chicken wings while being interviewed) I came across the the Gary Vee episode, for those of you who are not aware, Gary Vee is an entrepreneur, motivational speaker and digital marketing expert. If you have not seen this episode of Hot One’s, I would encourage you to do so, Gary divulges a lot of great information. One of the things I took away from the Interview was this: When releasing videos on YouTube, If you have a blog, release a short summary of your latest video on your blog, the blog post doesn't need to be long, four paragraphs is enough, and if people like what they read then they can then follow a link to watch your video, apart from giving a brief summary I like the idea of giving the reader behind the scenes information, as I feel this will give the readers a bet

  My Pre-production Journey This blog post   is an addition to my latest YouTube video- making a short film: my process. I will leave a link below. In previous blog posts I have talked about being in the process of writing a series of short films, and now I am no longer talking the talk, I am walking the walk.   What do I mean by this? I am putting my words and thoughts into action and I am making a short movie, in life people say they will do something and often do not follow through, and by me posting to my blog it keeps me somewhat accountable, so that I can follow through with what I say. My new short film is called: Right In Front Of You. I am the writer, director and producer, and each role allows me explore different aspects of my creativity, as a writer I get to create worlds for actors to explore, as a director I get to hone and shape actors performances, and as a producer I get to hire talented people, I also get collaborate with people who have different skill sets from my o
