How to Get an Agent!

The elusive VO agent is a rare entity indeed. Their primary environments are major metropolitan areas like LA or NYC. If you are residing in those locations, you may catch a glimpse of an agent or even walk next to one and never even know it. Tricky.

 

Here’s how to catch them!

1) Take Classes with Casting Directors and Get Them to Be Familiar with Your Work.  After taking classes with a casting director, it is not unheard of to be introduced to an agent or to be brought in for jobs directly by the casting director.  Also, taking classes with multiple casting directors is a huge plus.

 

2) One-on-One Meet ‘n Greets. Occasionally, acting studios may offer one-on-one meet ‘n greets with agents. Heads up, though: If you don’t have a few big jobs under your belt, can’t offer a really good demo, or don’t yet have a resume with a lot of casting directors on it, you may have to go by talent alone. Go with caution.  Or, hustle and prep so you have something to show for your work.

EverythingVoiceover.com  was created by Justin D. Torres

The voiceover over industry has become a bit of mystery.  Creator, Justin D. Torres, wanted to create a site that would have up to date information on allthings voiceover. From podcasts to articles, from how to’s to classes, Everything Voiceover is a learning tool for anyone interested in this amazing industry.

The Everything Voiceover Podcast

Everything Voiceover is finally up and running and the first episode of the Podcast is dedicated to giving you all the foundational information you’ll need to start your career.

Things like, types of voiceover, pay 2 play sites, non-union vs union, agents, everything you need to know.

When I was recording this podcast, I was trying to get across as much information as possible in the shortest amount of time possible. So, most of the first six episodes come in at under 20 minutes.

If you like the podcast, feel free to subscribe and I’ll keep bringing more and more info to everyone out there.

EVERYTHINGVOICEOVER.COM LAUNCHED!

Thanks so much to everyone who has read this blog over the years. This was literally the first site I put up when I envisioned an Everythingvoiceover website. As of two weeks, Everythingvoiceover is up and running.

It has articles, videos, and even a podcast with four episodes up and ready to go.

The reason I created this site was that I was sick and tired of looking at such old information.  I’m also really tired of people trying to get money out of every actor who wants to make a little money out of voiceover.

Everythingvoiceover.com is totally free, no sign ups, no newsletters, just information. That’s it. I’m not gonna record your demo. hehe.

Hopefully, this reaches some of my older subscribers. I will commit to updating you on all this information.  Here’s a great article on the Blue Yeti blackout microphone which I believe is a great microphone and you can even hear it on the podcast itself.
