RESUME
HISTORY...
I started the Voice Over Workshop in 1992 with a few business
cards, a voice-over demo tape and
a four-track recorder. At that time, I was a musician for
over 30 years, received three awards as a televison show host
and producer, and was working in radio. (In 2008, I received
a
KBA award for Radio).
Back in the day, other than cartoons and Hollywood movies,
voice-over had yet to become the huge industry it is today.
Getting voice work was basically limited to TV and Radio commercials.
Without the Internet, email or cell phones, it wasn't so easy
to find out where the jobs were or who was producing. Work
came mostly by knowing someone, who knew someone, who knew
someone.
Times have changed. The communications industry exploded.
Albums gave way to CDs, video tapes became DVDs, cell phones,
PCs and iPods became everyday items. The need for voice-overs
also exploded and opened up a lot of opportunities for talented
and creative voice actors.
Fast forward to 2011. The world of voice-over continues to
expand rapidly every day with new ideas and needs for the
spoken word and recorded voice. From simple phone systems
to complex on-line tutorials, from funny radio commercials
to serious audiobooks and much more.
