Expand postMy whole life I have had everyone from regular folks, singers, Broadway stars and voice teachers tell me my voice belongs on the radio. As a comedic actor, I would love to do voice-over work like cartoons. I have appeared in many TV commercials, TV shows and indie films and never pursued VO work because I know how incredibly close knit that community is. Does anyone know any free or very inexpensive ways to put a solid VO reel together that would land me a VO agent? Any advice or mentoring would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Expand commentSuzanne, Unless you're a producer or sound engineer, I enthusiastically suggest you DO NOT try to produce your own demo reels. ~ A seminar "ain't gonna cut it". ~ Go to www.voicebank.net and listen to ALLLLL the talent there in narration and audio books in order have an idea of what's trending. Especially in Audio books, which has exploded exponentially. ~You have training in acting; do have training in voice over? IT'S KEY!!!! Again, 1 seminar or workshop "AIN'T GONNA CUT IT". ~ ...and if so, do currently have a reel? You'll at least need a commercial reel in order for prospects to hear what you have to offer. Hook up with producers/engineers in your area...AFTER you've been trained. ~ Scroll up...everything John Davenport said. Nancy IS the truth. Speaking from experience. ~ Don LaFontaine told me "record yourself and listen back, repeat and keep on repeating. The words dictate how they want to be read". ~ You can download Audacity recording software for free (www.audacity.com) and put yourself in the running for auditions. You can go to YouTube to learn how to effectively use it. You need to have a decent mic to be in contention for V.O., not radio. ~ Thanks for the info regarding the work in AZ. I just picked up an agent there and it's good to know there are things happening. Blessings to you in your endeavors. Please keep me in the loop on your progress. I truly want to know how you're doing. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a line. What I have is yours. Take care and be blessed in your Sunday.

Expand commentVO is like anything else, you get out what you out in. I just finished writing a book, "The Easy Guide To Podcasting". It should be out within a month. Recording at home is pretty easy if you do a few things to reduce noise. A really nice home set up can be had for a few hundred bucks, less if you have a nice quiet walk I. Closet filled with clothes. If you are a member of the SAG Foundation, there are voice rooms you can use for free and free classes to learn basic editing. If you can't use these tools, I agree with BZ, there isn't much for free you can do. As an actor a coach or director always helpse reach a new level. My demo took several sessions to create. That said, both Vo2gogo and voice registry.voicebank.net are good starting points. As the empires said, there is no free lunch...
My question is, how do I get out of VO? ;-) JK

I am currently a Radio Host for Voice America Kids, Movie Reviewer and Red Carpet Interviewer for KIDS FIRST!, Writer for Huffington Post Teens, "A" student and a trumpet player. My goal is to replace Mel Brooks when he desires to retire. I'm building a strong foundation under my entertainment business and I'm looking for others that like to "pay it forward". I believe there is room at the top for everyone who truly wants to be there. If you are a casting director, add me to your list. I have a work permit, cogan account and a passport. I'm ready for action! PS I've also done 43 stage productions (most were musicals)
Don't ever lose site of your dream.
Never!!!

I write and write. Then I think of something different and change something again. When should I just stop writing and leave it alone?

Expand commentTo me it's not just writing that matters, but re-writing. I've never rewritten or changed something in my scripts that didn't make it better. Read movie reviews (Roger Ebert) to learn what to do and what not to do; don't just watch the best movies, but read books about the making of those movies to see how those films turned out as good as they did (Scenes From A Revolution, Mad as Hell: The Making of Network, Live Fast, Die Young: The Making of Rebel Without a Cause, The Nashville Chronicles, Easy Riders Raging Bulls, and Vanity Fair's Tales of Hollywood, just to name a few of the best)
You stop writing after you have sent it out to friends in the industry and a script doctor (me) and they say it is terrific. Although everyone will have a different opinion. Everyone! SO you have to be the final judge. DerynWarren.com

Expand commentWhat I'm doing currently is rewriting a script as I finish the current draft. With Celtx, I can make a copy of a script, and work on both separately. So while I'm very happy with the current draft, I have alternate ideas, which I like as well. So I'm essentially working on two drafts at once to decide which one world better when all's said and done.
Hi , Any of you history buffs out there, you might be interested in a new documentary that we just finished on the Holocaust. It's called, "The Mad Pole". The premiere will be at California Polytechnic University - Pomona, CA on June 23rd at 7:00 PM, Cal Poly Theater Bldg.#25. If you live in or around Los Angeles, come on down, admission is FREE.

I just finished filming a documentary on the Holocaust. We're still editing, but when it's finished I'll make it available to members.
Fantastic. Best of luck with it Lloyd!
Thanks for the invitation. I just finished producing a new Holocaust documentary, which I'm hoping to enter in a New York film festival. Do you have any suggestions on which ones are the best for documentaries?
YOU ARE VERY WELCOME LLOYD..... I DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT FILM FESTIVALS NOR DO I NEED TO PARTICIPATE IN THEM.
