Here is a guest blog I’ve written for Voice Over Herald.

Working as a voiceover artist is great! Growing up if someone had told me I’d be earning money for talking I would have thought they were having me on. It’s a brilliant industry to work in and is exciting as you never know what’s coming next, it’s rewarding as you get to work with fantastic people, you get paid to talk (although we all know there’s a lot more to it than that)  and it’s an industry that is growing and expanding fast.

 

So as it’s such a great job and is becoming well known is it any surprise that lots of people want to join in? More and more now days when people ask me what I do for a living I’m having to explain it a little less. I think the A list actors and celebrities have brought voiceovers to a lot of people’s attention as well as the big animation films.

 

So why do I think competition is a good thing?

 

  • It makes you a better voiceover artist as you have to raise your game and make sure you are the best you can be.
  • It makes you appreciate the loyal clients you have.
  • It keeps you on your toes as you have to be up to date with the latest trends, news and technology.
  • It means that the industry is growing.
