While I was sitting around listening to some pre-mix tracks of her new demo, I got to wondering where the journey of voice over might lead her. She is fresh, vibrant, intuitive… She reads with more confidence than a lot of people who are trying to break into the voice over market. Her ability to take direction is keener than most novice talent. But she has talent, and I think she is on the rise. A real world example of how one voice over talent completely modified his sound at MineWurx Studio – from 300 miles away. When I got a call from James, he was looking for advice on how to improve his sound. He had asked me to listen to his demos which I did, and then I offered my criticism as well as advice. Part of that advice was to go ahead and let me re-work his demos for him, which he quickly agreed needed to be done. We all know how quickly an article about race, color or culture can spin out of control, so allow me to make a preemptive strike and announce right here that this is not an article about righting wrongs or correcting the world’s problems. If you suffer from hypersensitivity to racial issues, you may not want to read any further. Just understand that this article was derived from a collection of observations of race and ethnicity as they apply to the business of commercial voice over and nothing more. After 10 years performing voice over and coaching talent from all walks of life, these are some of the things I have seen and my opinions about how they effect multicultural actors attempting to succeed in this cross-pollinated society we call America. |
