Having worked with an online voice over service for over 2 years, I have found that there are many experienced and talented voice over professionals who are just not as familiar with how to promote their voice as they are with using it for employment.

MJ really hits home on several points that voice actors need to remember when they are marketing themselves in voice over work. The different sections of the DVD emphasize critical elements that should be part of everyone's marketing plan.

She helps her students to learn how to focus on what their goals really are, where to find more information and training to develop their skills and the differences between having an agent and a manager.

Specific to the internet, MJ recommends a variety of websites for self-promotion. Although her exercises for pitching yourself are geared toward speaking to someone in person or on the phone, the concept is very easily carried into online auditions and personal websites. MJ's tips on self-negotiation are essential for everyone who is using online services.

I definitely recommend MJ Lallo's DVD to everyone. Even if you have been performing for years, the tips and suggestions for marketing yourself in voice over will only help your career.
