About this ebook

“The bible of our industry” —Harlan Hogan. How to sell your voice and make a living from it.

Voices are increasingly in demand for commercials, video games, audio books, cartoon characters, announcements, and other spots. This outstanding handbook explains how to launch a career and work in the field of professional voice-overs. Along with sample commercials and script copy, the author gives advice on vocal exercises, self-promotion, and business matters.

Copy basics, layering techniques, and commercial and stylized characters are also discussed.

This expanded edition features:

  • Vocal modulation and breath techniques
  • Advanced copy-reading strategies

In addition to all of this useful information, there is a section on how copywriters see the job of the voice artists for whom they write, giving voice-over actors an inside scoop. If you've ever been interested in voice-over acting, you need this book!

    ...If you've ever read anything about working professionally in voice-over, then a lot of the information in Clark's book will be a review for you, but that isn't a bad thing - fundamentals are always important to remember, no matter the topic, and the way Clark breaks down each aspect of the field makes it simple to learn even if you're just skimming through instead of properly reading it.Where this book truly shines is that it is so comprehensive as to include a variety of detailed copy samples for the reader to practice the concepts and tips Clark discusses......In addition to sample copy and her own professional insights, Clark includes interviews with other successful voice-over professionals, such as Hal Riney (member of the Advertising Hall of Fame) and Ned Lott (who has worked on features for Disney, Pixar, Universal, etc.)......She also discusses marketing strategy and the union more in-depth than many other sources I've looked over. There is honestly not much more to be said, apart from the bottom line that There's Money Where Your Mouth Is is a truly comprehensive and invaluable resource for beginners to the field of voice-over work, and I highly recommend it. In fact, if voice-over classes or workshops assign reference material, I think this would (or should) probably be at the top of the required/recommended reading lists.(For complete review, you can visit me at Here Be Bookwyrms on Blogger)
