Each Tuesday of Harlan Hogan’s month-long STARTING YOUR VOICEOVER BUSINESS: Everything You Need To Know To Turn Your Dream Or Your Sideline Into A Business teleseminar series included an open-ended Q&A session.
Last night marked the last session of our final week. During this last week we covered the nitty gritty of business & legal matters, unions, and agents.
Here’s what our students had to say about the week, tonight’s Q&A session, and the class overall.
If you’ve been thinking of getting your own copy of PD Grad School 2009: The Complete Audio Record —
There now are only 9 copies remaining.
If you’re not thinking of grabbing your own copy, there still are only 9 remaining.
From Harlan Hogan’s Voiceover Career Secrets:
One mistake that a lot of people with a broadcasting background make — I was guilty of this for a long time — is expending great effort to deliver the audition “to time.” Unless they are very specific and say we really, really, really have to hear you bring this in in 25 seconds…Don’t worry about the time.
As broadcast pros we think, “Oh, it’ll be impressive that I bring it in at :30.” But they are not timing. They don’t care. Take the luxury of time.
Recently I did a spot that I got off an audition and when I read it, I knew it was a minute and a half or longer. They wanted a nice, relaxed reading. When I actually did the job, they had realized on their own, “Oh my God, we have to cut half of this.”
