question:  How can I obtain medical voice-over work?

answer:

There are great amounts of voice-over work for voice over artists who read and correctly pronounce medical terminology. (It is not necessarily essential that the content makes sense to the voice over artist.) Fortunately, finding medical work is not terribly difficult. 

1.) Begin by asking hospitals and doctor's offices if you can visit their a/v (audio-visual) department. They probably have a library of training videos...hundreds of them. 

Each video is narrated...your job is to determine where the production company that produced it. Either check the information on the video box, or ask the a/v department personnel for the address/telephone number of their vendors.  A bit of investigating should do the trick.

2.) Searching the Internet may bring tremendous results. Search for production companies, studios, copy writers, and video companies that produce, record, and hire medical voice talent.

3.) Check the Medical Marketing and Media magazine - they often list all advertising agencies that work in the medical field.

4.) Search directories (like the yellow pages, on-line directories, etc.) and look for "medical service organizations", "medical record service", etc. Those companies will also require medical narrators.

5.) Visit your library. They likely have numerous videos and audiobooks relating to the medical field. At the end of each video should be information on the production company. If you're lucky, the information may even be on the box.

Good luck!
