Until recently the ability to perform voiceovers has been limited to people who live in major cites near the recording studios. Now with digital recording technology and the internet, the voice over market across the United States (and around the world!) has opened up to anyone with the talent, skills and drive to pursue it. With voiceovers you don’t have to be there, you can work anywhere without having to travel.
Opportunities exist for voiceover in commercials, animation, narration, industrial videos, plus new technologies such as Video Games, Digital Video and the Internet.
