This Blog Post: Helping Voiceover Artists To Begin Their Unique Journey. Where Do I start? Great question! Start by asking what your free time would be. A time within the day that you would be available for recordings. This doesn't have to be the same times every day, however to be able to provide a service either full or part time, I would recommend that you are really honest with yourself.  Can I Make Money? Like all freelance or self employment, the income isn't guaranteed. You usually get out what you're able to put in. It takes time to build up a client base, determination and a thick skin to be able to accept repeated rejections and brutal feedback relating to your voiceover work. That said, with a foundation of the right skills both within voiceover and audio editing, a good standard of ability and most importantly excellent work ethics, you'll be well on your way towards the start of your very own Voiceover business.  Do I Need A Studio? Yes. Whether this woul...

The irony is, the great ones, the ones that do it because that's what they do best, do not ever crave that 'shout out' or recognition.

I remember being given a task of prepping something todo with the first plane flight, I really did over prepare for what turned out to be a 30 second on air piece, ha ha. That person also chose the song; You Say It Best - Ronan Keating as my theme on the show promos montage, tha...

No, it really did! So picture this, you’re presenting your regular show, across the entire country and to whoever’s listening online around the world. You’re playing the penultimate song of that show, back timed exactly to the ads, everything is pretty normal. Or is it? Suddenly every screen in front of you (apart from the internet screen) goes blank. That penultimate song still playing away, listeners oblivious to anything of course apart from enjoying the music.  Let’s stop there for a minute and freeze that moment in time. What would you do? It’s moments like this when broadcasting live that really let you understand your character, your heart rate, your control of a situation seemingly out of your control. Do you call an engineer, run to the racks room (if you have access), but how much time do you have until, silence? Oh, there is an additional factor here, your national show goes into local shows across the country, presenters sitting preparing their shows, also listening in...
