 Being part of the union is not mandatory and there are more non-union voice actors in the world than there are unionized voice actors.Voice Over MarketplacesA voice over marketplace is a location, typically based online, where voice actors can feature their voices and audition for job opportunities to acquire voice over work. Custom MP3 demos validate the quality, expertise and talent of a voice actor. I often say and reiterate frequently that voice over is not an easy business or a cakewalk. Using podcasting as a means to attract new listeners is fundamental to the success and continued discovery of this art form through popular and new media.There are several independent radio theatre troupes around the globe that have sought to expand their listener base through podcasting and have affiliated themselves with websites that facilitate the spreading of their message, including organizations such as LibriVox, a group of people dedicated to recording audiobooks and making audio dramas more accessible to the public.Submitting an established radio drama to podcast directories is also a brilliant way to increase the circulation, mind-share (and ear-share) as well as awareness for the craft. Here are some ideas to gain experience in specific voice over niches:1.
