Voices.com Does a voice over artist need to be ARMED to have a DREAM? Check out Vicki Amorose's article and find out!

Many times, I've been contacted by people who find my voiceover profile and ask me how they can get started in voiceover. I'm not sure why this happens, since I'm not one of the online sources for free "Get Started" information, or a VO coach. I guess my brand is friendly!

Every voice over talent should know where their voice sounds best on a microphone. This skill is particularly useful when you go into a studio and are unfamiliar with the studio mic they have in the booth.

If your mic is not a condenser and/or you don't have a pop screen, try talking slightly off to the side of the mic to avoid puffs, plosives and siblance from words that start with the letter P, T or S.

Voices.com What do you think? Are pro or anti dairy when it comes to preparing to record voice overs?

Perhaps you save ice cream, cheese, yogurt, or chocolate milk until your work day is done to reward yourself and indulge...

It's a false alternative, really - dairy is neither friend nor foe. Sure, some folks generate a lot of mucus from drinking/eating dairy, but brushing your teeth and tongue, as well as chowing down a Granny Smith apple will eliminate most, if not all problems associated with dairy. It's good practice to always have a toothbrush and apple handy, anyway.
