By Stephanie Ciccarelli
December 5, 2012
How has the global marketplace helped your business to grow?
With such a wide framework of jobs to audition for and opportunities needing voice talent expanding by the minute, having an online presence and being where the business is is not just a good thing...it's a necessity!
Are you doing all you can to help yourself succeed?
Hear from voice artist, Dave Courvoisier, as he shares his story of working in voice-over and how the online marketplace at Voices.com has impacted his career.
This Is Where It's At
Being comfortable on camera is a big plus when you're called out from behind the mic and into a video shoot. A friendly face and voice you may know from his work on television as a news anchorman at the CBS Affiliate in Las Vegas, NV, took us up on an opportunity to share some of this thoughts.
Dave Courvoisier relates, "When Voices.com asked for a little face-time, it was a no-brainer! Also, I wanted to support one of my favorite organizations in voice acting Voices.com, and since video ANYTHING is hot in Social Media right now, what's not to like? It was an honor to be asked to offer my perspective on this great profession."

Becoming a voice actor, working from your own home recording studio and auditioning for voice-over jobs is within your reach!
I have a demo but don't know if it is good enough. I would love to work in voice overs and have even joined explore talent, but no offers.
Warmly,

Ditto what Dave said. AND he said it very well, too!
Posted by:I've been voicing radio commercials for 30 years in my radio career. In 2007, I jumped into the voice over community, and even since THEN, things have changed.
Home studios are now the norm. The amount of work you get is equal to the amount of marketing & promoting you do.
In addition to auditioning, recording spots & narrations, I've also just been tapped as the new PM Drive host of a soft-rock radio station. But the BEST thing, is that I do it all from the comfort of my own studio. No commute. No wasted gas money. No worries about winter weather. Ahhhh. I love my studio!
