Product Description

Product Description

Voice-overs represent a wonderful opportunity for actors - and a potentially lucrative enterprise. The voice-over field is one of the best ways to pay the bills while exploring stage and screen work. Or it can become a fascinating career in itself, as author Elaine Clark demonstrates in this expanded edition of her voice-over career guide. Clark shows actors - as well as non-actors with superior vocal presence - how to start a career in this poorly-understood field. She begins by explaining the basics of the industry and demonstrating how prospective voice-over performers can best market themselves through the use of agents, mailings and demo tapes. Subsequent chapters are devoted to such topics as vocal preparation, the basics of reading copy, the distinction between an announcer, a spokesperson, and a character, how to "hide the sell", how to branch out from commercials to industrial narrations and talking books, and how to work in a recording studio and use a microphone to best effect. This expanded edition includes new insider's tips on making a demo CD; coverage of vocal "melody" modulation and breath technique; discussion of advanced copy-reading techniques; and a section on how copywriters see the job of the voice artists they work for.


From the Author

Many actors call this the Voice-over Bible.
This is a text book for beginning and advanced voice actors. I wrote it as a true "how to" book so that actors could read the material and practice along. If used properly, you will make money with your voice. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you're a beginner, don't think about it, BUY IT! NOW!!, 14 May 1999
By A Customer
I wasted time and tape. I frustrated myself with poor technique that I could hear, but could not identify to fix. I went about marketing my self poorly. That's all changed now, thanks to Elaine Clark's book. It is an ABC's of how to polish and, perhaps more importantly, market your skills. A no nonsence blueprint for the aspiring (and in my case, clueless) professional. Although I am a pup, I have no doubt that even the most seasoned professional will find useful ideas. Invest in yourself... buy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is excellent!, 14 May 1999
By A Customer
I've read this book at least 3 times and learn something new each time! Elaine writes so that a beginner can discover how voiceovers work and even how to analyze the different types of voiceovers: commercial, narration, characters... even voicemail! It includes sample scripts and even marketing tools such as how to structure a resume and go out there and do it. I've booked a few jobs because of Elaine's expertise! A must have for anyone wanting to enter this business.
