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.

Also, while most everyone wants to work in radio, film and television, it pays to be flexible. Voice over talents often provide work for ads, commercials and websites as well as narration for various movies and television shows. Beyond these areas, there are also opportunities for creating website advertising, and at events worldwide.

Anyone looking to work in the business needs to realize that only about one in a thousand are hired on a regular basis. So, while opportunities exist, there is also a lot of competition. Competition that includes award winning actors like James Earl Jones, and novices with little to no experience in acting or vocal work. Since this is the case, it pays to be dedicated, patient and realize one may have to send out hundreds, if not thousands of resumes before landing a job in the industry.

It is also advised that those looking to apply for these positions, watch a number of films and other programs in which this type talent is used before attending or recording an audition. One nice thing about this business is that it can be done by anyone anywhere provided one has the chance to work from home.

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.
