Looking for Voice Over Work?

     When looking for jobs in the Voice Over industry it can sometimes get a bit overwhelming. Below is a list of 5 places where you can look for new clients and jobs in the world of Voice Overs:

1. Advertising Agencies

This is a group of creative people that create messages for clients that carry messages to an audience. The people you want to talk to are the people involved in audio and video production: Creative director, President, Vice Creative Director.

2. Public Relations Firms

They create messages aimed to services and ideas (ie. Fund raising, community awareness Long form audio, video). The people to talk to here are the Vice President of Business Development or Communications.

3. Cable Television Outlets

They are based on a contract between municipality and the cable company. They are in charge of the Public Access Station and Educational Station for the community. They must provide a local production station and producer, so the cable company where that public access station is provides local advertising. Search for 'Cable Television Regional Studios' (cable television, media sales, cable production). Here the people to talk to are the General Sales Manager or Production Manager. May be lower pay, but its a good place to gain experience and may lead to lots of smaller jobs.
