Sacramento Voice-Over Workshops

Greetings from Voiceovers International!
No doubt about it, there is a lot of interest in the voiceover industry. We get lots of calls about it. The number one question people ask: "How do I get started?"

While having a great voice seems like a given for this business, it isn't all it takes. In fact, it's about 30% (at most) of what it takes to be a great voice talent. Training and networking are the most effective way to build a voiceover business. While doing voiceovers can be lucrative, it is also highly competitive, so the better trained you are, the better your chance for success.

Our January workshop has been moved to March. We're springing into 2011 with our two most popular voiceover workshops to be held on March 19, 2011 in Sacramento at Scott's Seafood in Loehmann's Plaza. We also have money-saving incentives if you sign up early.
