The Latest “Secret” to Voice Over Success?
April 14th, 2008 Posted in Casting Director, General Info, MarketingWhen I interviewed Rick Zieff for tomorrow’s Voice Registry podcast (Tuesday April 15) it was clear he wears many more hats than his voice talent beret. He also casts, produces, directs and teaches. Which begs the question, should performers branch out so they can have more options? Maybe that’s the secret to a bigger voice over career. This way you can work more in the industry and put yourself in the audition mix once in awhile. So many of us have to do the day job thing or find other income anyway, maybe we should find it in our own backyard (or in a studio).
Right in the middle of my interview with Rick, he gets a call from a producer about casting a voice over job. It was fascinating listening to how he handled the call and all the insights he had for voice actors in terms of negotiating the deal. (Check out my upcoming blog, “Deal or No Deal”)
So, what do you think? Should we wear more than our voice over hats and build careers as producers, casting directors and teachers?
Find out how Rick does it tomorrow.
