It is an area that you can find steady work that will make a meaningful impact on your monthly household budget. I want to share with you some of the ways in which you can generate and improve your skills to embark on a new career to generate a new income stream for you and your family.
The key task is to practice, then practice a little more and finally practice that last bit. You can start improving your voice-over skills really easily and cheaply by just talking to yourself in the mirror. Then, get hold of some recording equipment. you can simply buy a cheap microphone for your computer or use a tape recording equipment that might cost a little more. You could even use a dictation machine, or for that matter your voicemail for a start! Another great way to improve your skills is to take the opportunity to do some public speaking.
Most people want to vomit when they are asked to speak out aloud in front of a crowd. It can be highly daunting. But often, you will surprise yourself at how good you are and people are often vary gracious when listening to you. Join a toastmaster club in your local town to commit yourself to talking and getting objective feedback. Take the chance to make impromptu speeches at parties or office functions.

You need to ensure that you notice how well you control your sound, your diction and your breadth of voiceover options. This step will be the one that allows you to apply for a greater range of voiceover jobs.
Just start slowly and gradually improve your skills. At the start just start talking and get used to hearing your voice being projected out loud. Then slowly vary aspects of your work and notice the effect it has on how your voice-overs sound. Mess around with how quickly your talk, how loudly you speak and the tone of your voice. Control the depth and rate of your breathing during this time.
Maintain good diction but try to add accents to your speech. Then vary the emotional basis of your voiceover - either angry or happy. Notice what you had to do to create a certain effect. Try sitting down and standing up - what happens.
Maintain a record of your findings and keep working on how you can improve. Some days you will make minimal or no improvement - or no apparent improvement. However, just having more experience means that you must be better. To be one of the top 1% of voice-over artists in your area, you need only commit to practicing for 30 minutes every day for 90 days. If you maintain records and steadily improve various aspects of your skill, you will find yourself highly employable. - 2361
