To work in Hollywood is often a dream of every child who has ever seen a movie. Becoming a voice over talent has often been the dream of many an adult. While a number of male voice over talents often apply for jobs, only about one in a thousand make the cut. The limited availability of jobs, and those whom just do not have the voice for this kind of work can speak to the pros and cons of the business.

Individuals becoming involved in the industry need to have the ability to speak in a clear and natural voice. This is true whether being asked to speak in the voice of God, or a sexy sultry woman. When individuals can do so, there are often a number of different jobs within the industry for which these individuals may qualify. Unfortunately, those speaking in a monotone voice, or those who have no vocal control, generally need not apply.

While most individuals want to work in film, radio and television, there are often more jobs in relation to advertising, commercials and websites. Flexibility can go a long way in working towards becoming a narrator for film and television, or working with an online or traditional radio station.

Also, while most everyone wants to work in radio, film and television, it pays to be flexible. Voice over talents often provide work for ads, commercials and websites as well as narration for various movies and television shows. Beyond these areas, there are also opportunities for creating website advertising, and at events worldwide.

Whether male or female, there are some things an individual needs to know to become successful. First, it is important regardless of the position and tone, to always sound natural. Whether talking in sultry sexy voice, or the voice of the God, vocals need to be as clear and natural, unless directed otherwise.

It is important when applying to assure that the application is complete and correct. If and when providing a recording as part of the process, recordings should be made in either a professional, or home recording studio. Whether recorded at home, through an online recording program, or at a studio, it is important to include a number of different vocal samples.

While some studios require people to work on site, others allow all work to be done from a home studio. When this is the case, it is important to have a dedicated area in the home in which a professional sound studio can be set up. Although, there are also some jobs which can be completed with a quality computer and microphone through one of the many online recording studios.

Seasoned actors and those with experience in radio are often the most sought after talents. Younger individuals looking to become involved in the industry may want to look towards volunteering at local radio and television studios when and where possible. In doing so, those with little to no acting experience often have a better of chance of getting an interview, as well as different types of jobs in the industry.
