Greetings,
Yes I am a newbie to the industry.
My passion for using my voice first began when i was a child and would always eagerly put my hand up first for reading out loud in shool. Then of coarse Theatre Classes came into play and have been taking many classes and have done a few short films nad commercials. I had my first taste of Voice Over when I use to work at the Hudson Bay (Retail)and my voice was used to announce in store specials. Yes there were the odd customers who would actually come and find me at Customer Service to see the face behind the voice. Taking Acting Classes also inspired me and then an opportunity came my way to audition for a radio spot for a commercial. I got the job for 97.1 Giant Fm RAdio for Class Act studio. This then lead to a contest i entered where i had to write 3 scripts - commercial, dramatic and humour. I had my voice recorded and sent in. I placed first which then allowed me to meet and be directed by one of the top childrens narrative Directors. She picked my scripts for me and directed my first demo for character. I have auditioned for a few Video games and have received excellent reviews. I have been told that i have good timing and direction.
Now it's just a matter of me finding work and hoping that someone will give me a chance. Perhaps that someone could be you?
Cheers!
