How do I become a Voiceover Artist?

It's a question that we get asked several times per day. I'd like to get into voiceovers....my mates say I have a great voice, can I do voiceovers....how do I go about doing voiceovers? Can I have a job as a voiceover? Is it true you get paid £200 per hour....

We have answered this at some length elsewhere in this blog. We also created a website especially to answer these questions: How to be a voiceover.

But recently we came across this useful page in the Media Guardian which adds a bit of colour:

How do I become a Voiceover Artist?

You don't have to do funny voices - but you will need to practise, practise, practise!

And yes we also make voiceover showreels too...
