How To Organize Your VO Biz ... Get Audiobook
Jobs - Bettye Zoller Teaches In October
Sept. 10, 2009
 If you're starting a voice-over business, you've got tons of questions. Even if you're well along in a VO career, there's always room for tweaking. And how - and where - can you open the door to narrating audiobooks?
These questions and many more are answered in Bettye Zoller's workshops next month.
An acclaimed voice talent and coach, and owner of the VoicesVoices training and audio production company, Zoller has slated these learning opportunities:
With 35 years of experience in acting, singing and voice-overs, Zoller is a multi-award winning voice actor, singer and trainer. She is an audiobook publisher, reader and producer - and the author of many books and CDs including The Voice of Experience - her inside look at the politics and secrets of studio singing and voice-overs.
BIZ OF VOICEOVERS
"Business first!" says Zoller, whose full-day Business of VoiceOvers Workshop on Oct. 10 will answer a myriad of questions, including:
"There will also be marketing and networking tips to help you zoom ahead at every career stage," Zoller adds. "Plus a goldmine of of take-home materials, including lists of casting directors and agents worldwide."
TULSA SEMINAR
Zoller returns to the University of Tulsa on Oct. 17 to present a popular seminar on voice-overs to theatre department students - but non-students may also attend.
Co-teacher Lisa Wilson is chair of the theatre department, and also a nationally known dialect accent coach, director, producer and voice talent.
In addition to an overview of the voice-over business, attendees will learn how to create character and cartoon voices, learn improv techniques, and get experience reading actual Hollywood scripts.
AUDIOBOOK NARRATIONS
One of the hottest voice-over genres today is audiobook narration, and Zoller's Audiobook Intensive Weekend, Oct. 24-25, is "not the usual 'let's read copy and learn voice acting seminar'," she says.
"We teach you that, but more, we tell you where the jobs are with audiobook publishers - and how to submit your voice-over demo to obtain paying work."
Attendees will find their strengths and identify weaknesses, says Zoller. There will be hands-on script reading for both solo and ensemble peices. And students will leave with a packet of publisher lists, contacts and more.
This seminar is being presented at Radio Reading Resource, the non-profit organization that records audio materials for sight- and learning impaired people. It's also a partial fundraiser for the organization.
