Continuing my “Featured Voices” series highlighting online interviews with voice-over talents…
– The Daily Journal interviews Billy DeWees, who has maintained a full-time career voice-over actor by recording in his closet at his home in Bourbonnais, IL.
DeWees was driven to succeed as a voice talent, and in this interview he reveals the steps he took to become successful, including investing $3,000 in a home studio, hiring consultant Johnna Gottlieb to help him develop his signature voice, recording a professional demo in Los Angeles, spending up to 12 hours a day recording for clients and making a concentrated, daily effort to market himself, search the web for voice-over jobs, and record auditions.
Gottlieb is also interviewed in the article.
– News.com.au chats with NY voice talent (and former Aussie native) Karen Jacobsen, also known as “The GPS Girl.”
Jacobsen was also interviewed fairly recently by The Houston Chronicle.
– An anonymous voice talent discusses with blogger Andrew Sullivan on The Daily View how the recession has affected his work and his family.
