Answer
Hi, AJ


With the help of the Internet, a lot of beginners are competing for voice jobs right alongside the "pro's."

The largest website I've found for this is www.Voice123.com. And back when I was directing TV and radio projects, I found a few amateur talents on the site and used them in the spots.

Spend a few hours on this site. Look (and listen) to how the voice talents promote and categorize themselves. My advice is to try and do something to help you stand out from the competition.

After you get a few paying jobs under your belt, you'll want to find an agent. But...first things first :-)


Best of luck!
