The recipe for success combines talent, luck and hard work

Some people are born great while others have greatness thrust upon them. So goes the old adage, but is the same true in other areas in life? For example in sport we often hear of the overnight sensation, only to discover that twenty years of dedicated training went into building the “instant success”.

In the world of voice over artists the pattern for success is very similar. The right batch of genes may have delivered the chest resonance and sinus structure required to produce that special “announcer quality sound”. But without the acting lessons coupled with endless hours of practice and the input of an effective vocal talent agency the voice over artist would remain undiscovered.

Today new voices burst onto the scene from everywhere.

Reality TV. Internet podcasts. Viral videos. These are the birthplaces of today’s batch of popular voices. The mere fact of outwitting several players for a few weeks on a tropical island is the only qualification required to gain sufficient notoriety to launch a career in voice acting.

Step two is to acquire the services of a vocal talent agency. Not only will the voice over work start to roll in but the career will blossom in all directions with guest appearances on morning television, store openings at regional shopping malls and loads of sincere testimonial work.

Are you looking for a voice over artist with that special something? A vocal ability with that unmistakable je nai se quois!

The voice artist you seek could be under your nose

There are a couple of great mysteries in life. The first is that you can never find a policeman when you need one. Of course they are everywhere when you don’t require the services of the men in blue.

The similar situation exists when you a looking for the right English voice over artist to record a new project. You might be making a radio or TV spot, a new cinema ad, corporate-video, e-learning series or maybe it’s a telephone on hold program. Chances are, the exact voice you have in mind will be nowhere to be found.

It’s reminiscent of the ditty Baroness Orczy wrote about the Scarlet Pimpernel. “They seek him here they seek him there, those Frenchies seek him everywhere. Is he in heaven? Is he in hell? That damned illusive Pimpernel.”

Never judge the voice by the title

Perhaps the truly talented English voice over artist has many of the skills depicted by the Baroness’ hero Sir Percy Blakeney. Just as Sir Percy is able to adopt many disguises to evade his pursuers, a good voice over talent should be similarly pliable.
