Just received my copy of the 2008 version of Julie Williams' How To Make Money In Voice Overs training set, and am listening to disc #5 at this time! Although haven't made it through all of the discs yet (just give me another 12 hours or so), I wanted to share some thoughts, and ask for your thoughts as well.
This is a totally revised, re-recorded, and modernized 5-disc set of Julie's classic How To Make Money In Voice Overs program. The packaging and design is excellent. Of course, with Julie being a very experience voice actress, the sound quality is fabulous.
I've heard two other versions of her HTMMinVO programs, the first one on cassette that I bought way back in the day from Dan O'Day's O'whole catalog. I about wore those tapes out soaking up the info that Julie Williams was sharing about voice-overs. At that time, I was an underpaid weekend on-air radio talent in Southern California, and found the voice over world intriguing. Later I got one of her CD versions of the same program, with more updated information.
Well, now it's 2008, and we've got social media, web 2.0, internet marketing, affordable home studios, voice123.com and voices.com, teleseminars, etc etc. The 2008 version of HTMMinVO covers all of these new aspects to voiceovers. Julie also shares a lot of the common-sense wisdom that she has learned over her years doing and training voice-overs. There's also some great interviews with
VO experts.
For me, this truly is the corner-stone in Voice-over audio training programs, and I plan on listening to all-or-part of these cds at least once a month. For me, there is just something in the way Julie explains it all. Ever since my old cassette version of the HTMMinVO training package, every listen gives me additional voice-over information, motivation, and inspiration! Worth EVERY penny (or whatever currency you use in your country)!
