Voiceovers for Radio TV Promos & Spots what a great job it’s so easy, or so I’ve been told!
Sure..it can be, But like anything if you know what you’re doing & you work at delivering a script, a character, or a tone, setting the appropriate scene & portraying it with certainty clarity & timing, you can make it appear effortless. When you do it correctly & to the best of your ability, you gain respect & appreciation for your skillset or craft from those who understand just how well you communicate & sell on their behalf, & the result of doing that great job is, you are simply called back again & again & again.
I cannot & don’t want to do the job of a great surgeon, a brilliant architect or a great golfer, but I do know & appreciate the years of hard work dedication & study it takes to become a so called overnight success in any sector..I’m a true believer in leaving the best do their finest…you don’t even have to like them but you do have to respect & appreciate their strengths & abilities. Be pragmatic, do what you do best & call the appropriate people for the job in our industry, & see the result of just how well our professional approach built over many years can now work for you…Until next time!
P.S Congratulations to the very likeable & indeed affable Mr Ryan Tubridy on the Late Late & if I remember rightly I first saw Ryan around the corridors of RTE back in 1995.. that’s just how long overnight success takes!!!
A late blog post this month, I’ve just been plain old busy & from what I see these days that’s a great complaint! Now because I’m asked this question so regularly, I thought I’d address it here in as concise a way as possible.
The Question I’m asked is: How do I get into Voiceover work ?
Answer ? www.piehole.ie & www.piehole.co.uk will now give discount when you type in Voucher code “Ger” ..it’s for V/Os / broadcasters & actors who want to promote themselves & gain access to the Irish UK & Canadian Voiceover markets & for those who want to enter the european english speaking market..it’s run by Ad Agency folk…as direct as it gets! But do have a good Demo Guys!…V/O’s Great night at Equity HQ Liberty hall earlier this month & continued success to all who attended the event, as piehole.ie & .co.uk presented “The Voice Over state of the Nation Address” a fun night with more importantly a practical approach & guide to the current market place & how to further promote your skillset. This is a brief & practical answer but if you need any further help or advice just send me an email & I’ll see if I can’t help.
News: I’ve recently completed a series of films for international conservation giants the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers including their flagship 50th anniversary celebration film, to be screened at Buckingham Palace in May to an audience including HRH the Duke of Edinburgh and featuring renowned naturalists David Bellamy and Sir David Attenborough.
Til next time..Laters!
