angelwriter40 · 04-13-2008, 08:25 AM

My name is Angela and I am new to this forum. I have a degree in theatre and I am just trying to venture out into endeavors that I would love to do. I am also a member of tvi studios and I just want to know what I need to do to get started in voiceovers. I hope this is a start to a great career!

Hi Angela - Welcome!

If you take a look around, you'll find that many answers are on the forum already. Try the search function, or just browse the different areas.

Theatre is a wonderful start. Acting is essential to great VO work. You might also want to take a bit of improv, or get in with a regular group. Books and VO classes are another good way to get a feel for the industry.

Some of the product review sections may be of interest. There are books, audio courses, web sites, etc.

... and if you don't find what you need, feel free to ask. Plenty of friendly folks around ;-)

Nice to meet you,

Welcome to the forum, Angela. I'm envious of your theater background. :-) Just starting to learn to act myself. Best Wishes.
