Voice-overs are hot today! You don’t have to be an actor to get voice-over work!

Not so! Learn about an exciting new way to get around the competition and actually turn voice-overs into a thriving full or part-time business. Tom Force will discuss the voice-over business as a whole, the numerous opportunities, income potential, and the all-important demo and how to have it produced. You’ll step up to the microphone to do some practice recording and hear the results.
