Have you been told you’ve got a great voice or that you should be on the radio? Word of Mouth will help start you down that road. It is not a shortcut to a commercial career, but it does give an excellent insight to what talents you need to develop to get into the world of Voice-Over Acting.

Collectively, the authors of this work are responsible for literally hundreds of the voices you hear on radio, behind the characters in animated shows on TV and even video games. The practice exercises are whimsical, yet realistic examples of what you may encounter on the job.

Very helpful sections are also included with advice on how to promote yourself and prepare for that first break. What this book is not is a tutorial on recording equipment.
