VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

X · Guest

Mr David Houston suggested that I introduce myself so I will do so formally in this thread:

My name is Kyle Fotheringham. I'm 30 years old and have wanted to do voice acting since I was little. I just got married 2 and 1/2 years ago - no children yet. My wife's name is Shalaina and we met doing community theater.

I got in trouble in elementary school for making noises with my mouth - mimicking animals and creating voices of my own. In High School I did a ride along with Brian Cummings who has been in the VO business for a long time. He suggested that if I wanted to get into the biz that I'd have to just get around the business as much as possible. In high school I was in our show choir but I was too shy to get into theater. I waited until College to get into theater and still love it. I did a little radio DJing at the Jr college and thought that Broadcast Journalism would be a good major at the University I transferred to. Turned out I'm not a Journalist but an Actor, but I graduated all the same. I just signed up for a VO class with Scott Shurian who told me about this website (my first class was last Wednesday). And yesderday I got my first gig through the University my wife attends. I don't think it pays anything since it's a student thing but at least I know that people like my voice. It's a narration for a childrens video. I am super excited.

Well that's me so far. I look forward to learning much from all of you and hopefully someday teaching kids like me a thing or two about VO work.

Thanks,

Kyle

welcome, Kyle!
This sure is the finest VO bb on the web (it might be the only one that gets more than one post every few months also).

Welcome Kyle,

I've been a member of the Board for a little over a month, and it's meant more than most books I could read on the subject.

FWIW, I've been in broadcast news for almost 30 years, and I can tell you I'm expected to be more "actor" and less "journalist" by the day!

Thanks Frank. I am super excited to get started in this business. I have wanted to my whole life.

Park City is the Beverly Hills of Utah County - do you love it up there?

Greatest snow on earth... and I cannot use it right now... but, yes, my backyard IS the resort. Literally.
