MAKE
MONEY FROM YOUR
OWN VOICE
IN THE UK FROM HOME
If you want
to make a career
change, you can make money from your voice
in all sorts of ways from voice overs. Some are
obvious, some less so. It's not necessary to be a member of Equity either. Many
voice hirers go directly to voice artists without the need for an
agent. Also most voice over artists work from home, reading and
recording scripts to be delivered by e mail to the agency or broadcaster
who hires them.
Listen to voice coach Rod Lucas on our
voice training.
Your voice can earn real cash in the following areas: TV & Radio commercials & adverts, promos, IVR (interactive voice recording),
voicemail, phone systems, on-hold messages, business pod casts, corporate or
industrial presentations, online learning, radio jingles, CD ROMs, story books, sat nav, audio
instruction manuals, voice tracking for radio, and web site audio
content too.
Although the rewards for using your
voice in commercials and voice productions can be very lucrative, the
competition is tough. However there's always room for new voices to the
scene and production companies are always looking for the next fresh
voice over. We'll see you get the best voice-over training in the UK
today, with on going guidance, help guidance and advice. Call for an
informal chat with Personal Voice Trainer Rod Lucas. Ring 01580
893859.
The only effective way of
displaying your vocal talents is through a voice-over showreel demo.
That's where we come in, we'll direct and train you and
record a professional sounding showreel demo. We run voice over
training and coaching at all levels. We also offer voice
over training sessions online.
If you feel you've got what it takes to become a voice over artist and your friends and work colleagues have often said to you "you should be doing TV adverts and voice-overs", then maybe they're right and you should be doing something about getting into voice-overs.
Our voice over training is second to none.

Watch Voice Over Coach & Director Rod Lucas
with voice trainee Tom Phillips talking
about his voice over training.
Tom
spent 2 days learning how to use his voice
in different ways & styles and what makes a
voice over successful.
This video shows
Tom's delight with the voice over course he
took with Rod Lucas in Feb 2010.
For a typical example of what we achieve. Listen to Gabrielle
Baker's voice over showreel directed and produced by Rod Lucas. She
took a two day course recording lots of different scripting.
The two day voice over
training course I did with Rod was hugely
enjoyable. I came away exhausted at the end of the
each day; my head buzzing with all the possibilities
I could see before me, and my body exhausted after
having tested my vocal abilities to the max.
Rod’s relaxed and
friendly approach means I felt at total ease and was
able to embrace everything he threw at me. Because
the course is one to one, there is none of the
intimidation that can sometimes be felt in group
sessions. This was really important as it meant I
got 100% from Rod and I gave 100% back.
Rods wealth of
knowledge really shows. He knows just how to guide
and direct, as well as stretching you when needed,
getting the very best out of you in the process.
This is no exercise in flattery; you have to earn
your stripes!
I am so glad I did
this course, it has already opened up a whole new
future for me in voice over and radio work, and I am
very excited about the future. Thanks Rod.

A pleasant voice, versatility and the ability to understand direction from a producer and respond accordingly are the most important requirements.
Voice-overs can open up a world full of possibilities. From radio adverts to television documentaries, from CD ROMs to computer games, from cartoons to telephone on-hold services. The list is virtually endless.
That's not to say that, should you choose to be a voice-over artist, you are guaranteed a huge income and a showbiz lifestyle. It is the same as any other performing art, some are hugely successful and others are not.
