Voice-Overs is EXCELLENT!,
By
This review is from: Voice-Overs : A Practical Guide with CD (Theatre Arts (Routledge Paperback)) (Paperback)
I found this book and the accompanying CD extremely helpful in timing, do's and dont's and how to slow down or speed up to fit in a spot. The accompanying jingles and examples are fantastic!

So You 've Got A Nice Voice,
By
This review is from: Voice-Overs : A Practical Guide with CD (Theatre Arts (Routledge Paperback)) (Paperback)
This book makes it clear that having a 'nice voice' is as much a guarantee of geting voice-over work as 'having two hands' is a guarantee of being a famous concert pianist.The book is very detailed and thorough with many examples of scripts for the reader to try out. There is also a free CD with the book which has examples of good and bad voice-overs together with many backing tracks and jingles to accompany the scripts in the book. An excellent book which is rapidly becoming the definitive text on this exciting career.
