You work hard on your showreel or demo mp3 and send it out to agents and production companies. You send ages crafting a custom audition for a client where you are pretty sure you have a great chance of getting the gig. Then... nothing. At best, you get a message saying the "some other voice talent has been selected". Why is this? What's going wrong?

If you not in at least one AI voice library, you're leaving money on the table! I've put a video together for you.

Hello! I'm starting over/retooling (VO biz). I need someone to review a short recording, as in hire a pro to do this. The problem I'm having is a faint background noise. I need to record at a higher level but if I do the mystery noise (sounds like a very faint A/C) is more prominent. I live in a very quiet location & am in a temporary booth made of PVC pipes & moving blankets covered with/foam tiles on the interior. I've tried turning everything off, heat pump, refrigerator etc. There's no traffic around here. I am using a Neumann mic, a Focusrite interface, Adobe Audition recording on a MacBook Air. Does VO Masterclass perform this sort of service? A side note, I will be converting a walk-in closet into a studio, thick 2" foam panels etc. Help, hired or free, will be greatly appreciated.

Here's the home studio I have in my converted garage. Feel free to share your own setups!

Good morning Peter, Mark and all the members here. I've been an actor for over 40 years and have bumbled around in all the usual "bits n bobs" ( a lot of panto!) Voiceover had played a small part in that career, dubbing foreign films into English, voicing corporate videos on artificial insemination in cattle and knitting machines, some audio drama with my Dr Who contacts for BBV and the fledgling Big Finish creators on cassette in the 80's "audio visuals", animation in Naples etc. Then I was able to join the roster at Oakhill publishing narrating those big box sets of cds for libraries in 2011 which led me into ACX in 2016 which has provided regular work over the past 10 years. I've been on Skool since last July, my recording set up does include a lovely Kube Diamond soundbooth which stands like a Tardis with it's chameleon circuit working in the corner of our cellar conversion in Crewe in Cheshire. Those things are sooooo heavy! I've been lucky enough to get some commercial VO's recently and have voiced the welcome video to Blists Hill Victorian town which plays on a loop to all the visitors, so I'd like to do some more of those kind of things as audiobooks are hard work! a lot of words! I have always made little films for fun, so I enjoy making my little adverts for my audiobooks in adobe premiere and after effects and I'll attach a sample here for you. If any of you are also acx ers I run a facebook group for you to distribute your promo codes for free with 34,000 members to advertise to, which I'll be happy to share if that is allowed. Looking forward to meeting everyone and hopefully making some new friends and contacts.
