VO-BB - 19 YEARS OLD!

dhouston67 · Posted: Thu Aug 17, 2006 11:58 pm Post subject: Getting Started: My Take

I've gotten quite a bit of the "how do I get into VO" questions directed my way lately. Here's a few of my thoughts on the subject, with appropriate disclaimers in place (i.e., I'm only just getting this thing off the ground, really.)

As mentioned in the post, plenty of good info is left out, and is available from VO talents posessed of far more mouth-mileage than me. Hope it's of value to someone...

Thanks Elaine, though it's probably a little wordy for a "succinct" article. Smile

Many thanks.

You know for a VO guy - you're a pretty terrific writer too! And you can take that from someone who has done A LOT of writing.

PS - You can believe me that I'm not nearly nice enough to say that if it isn't true. Smile

Well stated David. Especially the part of gently saying there is no easy way to get to your goal, just hard work and persistence.
