|
|
This free e-book promises to help prospective voice over talents take a hard look at what they really need to think about if they want to work full time or even part time as a professional voice talent.
The Voice Over Entrance Exam covers topics like getting a professional talent assessment, handling rejection, how to seek professional training and how to manage the business of voice over.
The e-book was written by Peter K. O'Connell, a professional voice talent since 1982 who serves as president of audio'connell voice over talent, is owner of Voice Over Workshop and who (as far as you know) has been a proud member of the VO-BB since 1971

Peter, your book flat-out ROCKS! Everyone who's thinking about a career in VO -- or knows and/or loves someone who is -- should read it.
May I post a link from my blog to the download page? _________________ Michael Rankins

Oh gee, lemme give this some thought.
Totally rave review, professional voice talent, probably needs a tool like I did to quick pass on to total newbies....
Yes of course you can, as can anyone! It's a tool for all of us, hence the free part.
And my sincere thanks for your kind words. I really appreciate the compliment. _________________ - Peter

Well done my friend, well done.

The thing I like most about these comments is that I know here, if the ebook really sucked, it and its author would be squashed like a grape.
It's not the compliments that please me most (and I am honored) but rather the credibility and integrity of the people offering them that give me a feeling of humble satisfaction.
Thanks very much to you guys and all the bloggers and tweeters and Facebookers and emailers and callers who've been effusive with their praise not so much of me but really of the content. It's all I could have hoped for in this freshman e-book effort.
And to those reading this post for whom the e-book was intended, I truly hope this e-book helps you make the RIGHT decision...whatever that turns out to be for you.
P.S. The reviews from the community have been outstanding. Thanks _________________ - Peter
