Voice over Jobs for Industry Commercials Finally Open to Anyone
February 9th, 2010Voice Over Jobs
Many jobs and areas have heroes or some individual that keeps the work executed in that field to a superior standard. In the domain of voice over jobs, that individual was Don LaFontaine. Anyone not knowing his name would surely recognize his voice. Any people listening to a movie preview that begins with the words In a world… has heard LaFontaine doing top notch voice over acting. The demise of Don LaFontaine has left an opening in the voice over marketplace that has many studios clamoring for fresh talent. Though no one thus far has come near to his vocal powers and natural talent, there are still many wannabes out there aiming to be the next Lafontaine by applying to as many voice over jobs as they can.
In order to succeed as a voice over worker, you need to be being easy going and fun to work with, not just to make the client feel at ease, but likewise to make the recording process go smoothly and efficiently. If you have an issue pronouncing something, just rewrite the entire sentence in the border of the script. Once you have done that, modify the spelling of the words to something phonetic or common. If this does not help, ask the production assistant or anyone else with knowledge of the script. You should not feel guilty or ashamed about asking. This exhibits that you clearly have the best interest of the project in mind and that you want to be sure to deliver a superior project.
