I have just started my career in the Voice Over industry, but I have always wanted to do work with my voice. I get compliments everyday about my voice and why I am not using it to make money. "You should do radio" or "you sound like Mufasa. I could listen to you all day" are daily compliments. I even had a guy tell me he heard my voice doing the ATM prompts at his local bank. I have never done any work like that but it was interesting to hear that my voice would be recognizable at an ATM. My dream has always been to voice characters for animated movies. As a kid I watched Charlie Brown and The Littles and became fascinated with animiation. As I got older the fascination became more about the behind the scenes production.
With the advancement of technology, the process didnt seem so out of reach. Publishing a book, producing music and voiceing the characters of an online animation just got more accessible.
The only job I have done using my voice was announcing the graduates of an elementary school.
