Voice overs

[CYYYFYYY]

I have an odd voice that I myself hate however every so often someone stops me in the street and says I should be doing voice overs. Any ideas how I can get started. Any agencies in NYC????  Anyone know anything about such a thing.Any help would be real cool. Thanks

<p>There are a couple of online voice-over sites...I used one called &quot;<a href="http://www.voices.com/">Voices</a>&quot;...and it connects up people &quot;at home&quot; or whatever with companies or people looking for voice overs.&nbsp; VO jobs are posted and you can audition for them. </p><p>I did it for a few months and only got one job...But I do think there are a lot of people who do get work this way.</p><p>My impression was that there is a tone of competition in the VO world and you have to be really committed to the whole thing (aside from being really good).&nbsp; Even if you have a really cool or interesting voice, it will take some time.&nbsp; There are some agencies you can find by searching google...but they seem like they represent already established people.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Also, be well aware that one part of the formula is having a unique voice, but the other part is having good diction.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>I have a few friends that do voice overs. (one of them is the orange m&amp;m,lol). It's as hard to get into as acting isn't it? I guess maybe not but let us know wat you find out :)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What where you doing to get stopped by people on the street?? LOL&nbsp;</p>

<p>I could market myself like this:</p><p>&quot;Get a voice like Ron Howard, but don't pay for Ron Howard.&quot;&nbsp; <img src="/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/lol.gif" border="0" width="20" height="20" /></p>

<p>Voice over work is easier than acting stuff to get into.</p>
