Stephanie,
What Mary said. Many thanks for the link to Do That Voice!
For those new to VO: This is a real treasure trove of information. It took many of us a good deal of searching and stumbling to gather just part of what's here, so take advantage of some one-stop shopping --- and give the voices.com folks props for putting it together.
Best,
DH

This is absolutely marvelous. Thanks for putting it together. I also really appreciated that 'voice-seekers' survey result which you published. I'm very happy to be a member of the Voices.com talent brigade! :D

As voice over work is essentially a freelance business where you need to market yourself, I recommend

It's a great site that has a lot of ideas about marketing yourself and has built a great community that is always willing to help.
