Starting a career as a voice actor is a process that requires many important steps. You first need to get proper voiceover training and then produce a high quality voiceover demo in order to begin your career. The next thing you’ll probably want to do is get a good voiceover agent. A voiceover agent promotes you to voiceover casting directors and producers in an effort to get you voice work. Voiceover agents take 10% of your earnings in return for their services. To land a voiceover agent, you’ll need to send a copy of your voiceover demo and a cover letter to each agent stating that you’re looking for representation. Many agents today accept emailed demo reels, so you can save a lot of money on CD duplication. It’s always helpful to get a voiceover industry referral to a talent agent if possible, but it’s not necessary. Most agents will periodically listen to all demo submissions and add new talent to their roster on a regular basis.
