A practical guide to voice-over work

Tara Platt’s extended edition covers the voice-over process from preparation and auditions through the business steps that follow a booking. Its topics include vocal warm-ups, interpreting copy, building a home studio, marketing yourself, and understanding what to expect on the job. A bonus workbook provides exercises for developing skills, while sections on performance capture and podcasting broaden the scope beyond traditional voice-over assignments. The book frames the field through the experience of two working professionals who began without prior industry experience, combining performance practice with an introduction to the practical demands of pursuing VO work.
