Does Your Child Have a Great Voice- They Can Do Voice Overs!
Does your child have a great voice? Can he or she do characters or “weird” voices? Does your child love to read out loud and put “energy and personality” into their reading? Is your child’s reading level above their age level? Is your child shy or nervous in front of an audience or adults? Have you thought about Voice Over work? Let me say that voice over work is very competitive and not as easy to get into as you might think. Adults are hired to sound like children and they can work longer hours so it is more economical for the producers.
But with all the animated movies and television (including commercials) there is a larger demand now for real kids doing voice over.
Not all agencies represent for voice over! Some of the best are listed here. If you live in the LA area, check out their websites (if listed) and see what the submission requirements are and follow them. You will need a CD or tape (check submission requirements) to send them. DO NOT: have your child call them so they can see how cute his/her voice is; send a pic and letter telling them about what a great voice your child has without a sample; and finally do not waste your time or theirs if you do not live within an hour of Los Angeles.
What if you do not live in Los Angeles? Contact your local talent agencies and ask about voice over. The larger markets are your best chances.
