Hart Voice Overs

My friend Bob Souer has written an excellent blog post on weaknesses and strengths in voice over.  I’m constantly evaluating myself and searching out my own strengths and weaknesses to try and help improve my work and I found it a very poignant read.  I think you might as well.

Bob starts off:

“There are lots of folks who think that voiceover work is all about the voice. Sure, there’s an element of truth in that idea. When we audition, many times the final choice the client makes is based on whose voice most closely matches what they’re looking for; but be careful how far you carry this idea.”  Read More.

I understand the thought of hiring a voice actor can be overwhelming to many so I have written an article called “How To Hire a Voice Over” as a service to my clients and prospective clients.

I have done my best to explain the process as concisely as possible but the article does have a good amount of meat in it.

This is so cool! Some of my fellow voice overs brought life to Axe Cop. Check it out:

If you don’t know the story: read the origins on the Axe Cop site.  Dave D’Andrea plays Axe Cop.  Lee Gordon and Bob Souer are also in it.  Leave a comment if I need to add someone’s name to the list.
