Talking Funny for Money is a two-CD voice-over workshop (with demonstrations by professional voice-over performers), accompanied by an exercise manual and companion text. If you're a person who's been gifted with vocal variety, a hard working actor who wants to expand your casting potential, or just someone who's been told, "You have an interesting sound," you may wish to consider a career in the cartoon/character/looping area of voice-overs. Pamela Lewis, an accomplished voice-over artist and coach, has developed a CD workshop for people who are curious about breaking into the exciting world of "talking funny for money." In this workshop, you will learn: how to assemble a competitive cartoon/character voice-over demo; shortcuts to mastering the most requested dialects, age groups and celebrity impersonations; film looping/dubbing technique and terminology; and the varied employment opportunities in the cartoon/character/looping world. This workshop is an excellent introduction to a creative and lucrative area of voice-overs. As Ms. Lewis puts it, "What could be better than making funny noises for a living?"

Pamela Lewis to my knowledge is the only one to have a specialty book on this subject and it sets the high standard for others to follow should they dare to. Step-by-step easy-to-follow exercises combined with her years of success in the VO industry. The CD follows the book making the learning experience closest to interactive.

Know matter what kind of voice over work you are in or considering this book you defiantly would benefit from. I have researched many books on this topic and this one is by the far the best. If you can't afford classes or want an awesome review even taking classes with some new stuff this book defiantly has it. If you look at my other reviews I like never give 5 stars. So if you want a book on the subject this should be your top pick!
