How do I get into television/radio voice-overs?

You know, never see the face, but hear the voice on adverts on the television and radio.

Who do I contact for a possible voice test?


If you think you have a voice that could be good enough, make a "demo tape" of radio commercials, and start with local radio stations. (It's much easier to break into the business at a lower level. If you have exceptional talent, you will move up fast.

You have to have the voice. Research Mike Rowe

I started in radio by being a part time board operator. I got more hands on experience than a 4 year broadcastind school. but its best to start in a smaller market because your exposed to more acpects of the business

If your a famous actor or have a good voice.

Try signing up with a stage school or join an agency to do stage extras and adverts. Think you need an EQUITY card to get a speaking part in the UK.

You need a portfolio of photographs and to show what work you have done.

If you can read well, follow direction, have a good voice, or a unique voice hire an agent.

You work they get paid - you don't work you and the agent don't get paid.
