question:  Resume - what goes on it?

 

answer:

A voice over resume is like a standard resume. In other words, it lists contact information, services, qualifications, and background. However, it generally does not include a 'mission'.

Following are ideas of how to build your own resume. It is NOT necessary to follow this format exactly. Just make sure that your resume looks professional - in other words, it should be printed clearly, on nice paper, and easy to read.

--------

Begin your resume with your name, contact information, and services offered. For example:

David Goldberg

Voice Actor (or voice performer, voice-over artist, voice talent, etc)

212-868-3343

--------

Next, list your services. For example:

VOCAL SERVICES OFFERED

· radio and television commercials

· travelogues, films, videos, multi-media applications

· automated telephony systems

--------

Then, add experience (note: if you have none, skip to the next session). For example:

VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE

· Goodyear Tires: radio commercials

· Citibank: telephone automated response system

· Mylan Corporation: new employee training video

--------

Following, list your training. For example:

TRAINING COMPLETED

· intensive technique workshops - Edge Studio

· advanced training and copy-reading classes - Edge Studio

· private coaching - David Goldberg

--------

Next, list production services that you offer. For example:

PRODUCTION SERVICES AVAILABLE

· ISDN, MP3, CD, DAT, Wav, Aiff

· pro-tools

· music library, sound effects

Note: If you have your own studio, you already know the services you offer. However, if you don't have your own studio, find a local studio and offer your clients the services that that studio offers. (This way, if a client asks you to complete a job for them, you can accept the job and have the studio handle the production for you. Note - whether you have your own studio or use a local one, you can charge your client more - as they should pay for your voice-over talent, and for your production.)

--------

Finally, add additional vocal attributes. For example:

VOCAL ATTRIBUTES

· "live" public speaking

· speak Spanish and English fluently

· acting background

· singing background

- production background

- copy (script) writing

Good luck!
