Going off of the last post, People. If you have thousands of connections and nothing to offer when they find you, you might as well not waste your time.
Sounds a little harsh, but it’s true. If someone finds you on your Myspace, Facebook, personal website (do you have one?), or they contact you by phone, are they going to be impressed with what they see or hear, or will they blow you off because you sound like an amateur?
There’s one way to prevent that: Practice.
I never say practice makes perfect, especially when it comes to voice over work. Practice makes persistence. You can’t always be perfect when it comes to voice over. Perfection lies in the ears of the producer or the client, not with your ears. Something may be perfect to your ears but completely wrong for the listener.
How do you practice using your voice? There’s a lot of great practice methods I use all the time.
