Different Jobs For Male Voice Over Talents

By Jocelyn Davidson


Hollywood and other areas within the entertainment industry often offer a number of different jobs and intern opportunities. One area in which this is the case, is that of seeking male voice over talents. When looking for these talents, the business often looks toward job boards and online websites which provide a database of different individuals working in the industry.

Individuals can also create a unique space advertising availability to work in the industry. Whether placing an independent ad, or registering with a database site, it is important to have a profile. A polished and professional profile will contain information on past and present jobs along with recorded vocal samples.

Becoming involved in the business can often take time. When an interest exist, it is often best to research the industry and attend a few classes and workshops before applying for jobs. Not only does one then have related educational experience, it is also shows that the individual has initiative to learn and study on an independent basis. Something that is often necessary for each and every voice over opportunity.

Having a clear, concise voice and wide vocal range are also key elements to success. Individuals who have these qualities often make it big in the business. Whereas, those whom can only speak in a monotone voice without any range whatsoever, often do not fair as well. For these individuals, it is important when looking for work in the industry to look for jobs which require this type of voice.

Whether male or female, there are some things an individual needs to know to become successful. First, it is important regardless of the position and tone, to always sound natural. Whether talking in sultry sexy voice, or the voice of the God, vocals need to be as clear and natural, unless directed otherwise.

When people can meet these qualifications, it provides an even better chance for opportunity. Although, there are some instances in which directors, or others may have requirements for monotone speakers as well as those with a wide range. Still, when applying for a job in the industry, it is often best to provide a recording which shows a wide range in vocal ability.

Also, while some work can be done from a home studio, there are some studios which require individuals work on site. Most often those required to work on site are generally working as part of a film, or television crew. Whereas, those creating voice tracts for commercials and websites are often allowed more opportunities to work from home.

Seasoned actors and those with experience in radio are often the most sought after talents. Younger individuals looking to become involved in the industry may want to look towards volunteering at local radio and television studios when and where possible. In doing so, those with little to no acting experience often have a better of chance of getting an interview, as well as different types of jobs in the industry.
