question:  How do I find Children's Audio-Book Voice-Over work?

answer:

Obtaining children's Audio-Book work is simple, once you know the correct steps and contacts.

To begin, ensure that you are well trained, and that your voice-over demo demonstrates as many "useable" characters as you can perform well (remember, the more variety you demonstrate, the more likely the chance of getting work).

Then, you'll need a solid marketing plan. (We suggest our marketing seminars for detailed information on this.)

Then it's time to find contacts. Here are some ideas:

#1 - Check out the "audio-book publisher" reference guide from "audio file magazine" - www.audiofilemagazine.com.   There are numerous contacts there.

#2 - Contact publishers and inquire if they produce audio-books. If they do, mention that you are a voice-over artist who focuses on children's audio-books.

#3 - Find contacts by looking on the back of children's audio-books packaging. (Go to a library or book store and browse through all the packaging.) Often the publishing company will be listed.

#4 - A healthy attitude is a must. DON'T GIVE UP !! Even pros will tell you how it took them years to "break in".

Start by attending an audio-book / marketing workshop (Edge Studio has these) to get a great head start! 

Good luck!
