Recently a subscriber to my Radio Advertising Letter <\/a>uploaded her voiceover demo and asked for some feedback.<\/p>\n

I hadn’t ever had any contact with this person. The only information I had about her was her name, her e-mail address, and her geographic location. Her email address was at a Yahoo.com account, so it didn’t give any clues as to who her employer is. <\/p>\n

Here is what I said:<\/p>\n

“You asked for my opinion, so….It sounds very much like a radio person, while people who sound like real people get most of the good jobs. You’d profit from some good acting lessons. Virtually all the great VO people have studied acting.”<\/i><\/p>\n

She replied:<\/p>\n

“One of the things I’ve always been told as a DJ is that I’m unradio. Conversational.”<\/i><\/p>\n

She simply refused to believe that she had “radio” in her voice. Even though I \u2014 who knew absolutely nothing at all about her, not even if she was employed at a radio station \u2014 instantly could tell she’s worked in radio.<\/p>\n

Voiceover mastery is not about your voice. It’s about your ability to act in front of a microphone.<\/p>\n

If you want a real voiceover career, by all means purchase the wonderful VO-related products in my catalogue. But more importantly: Take acting lessons.<\/p>\n
