As I start out on this venture to become a voice-over professional, I take note of other inspiring professionals who set a strong example. I came across one such blog called Nethervoice, featuring Paul Strikwerda, and his presentation on his blog stands out.
Paul’s home page gets right down to business, cornering and illuminating his niche market, and listing seven reasons why prospective clients should choose to hire him.
His demo page has sample recordings listed by categories, and within these categories are spliced together several samples of his voice on different projects so listeners can hear a range of his tonal quality.
On his blog link, his opinion is clear, well thought out, and conveys acute intelligence. However, his comments are not necessarily for the faint of heart, as I just found on one of his recent posts: “Entitled Wannabees Need Not Reply.” Ouch!
Yet what presides over all is a clear impression of Paul’s commitment to the profession and his passion for transforming his voice into a work of art.
You can check out his web page at http://www.nethervoice.com/nethervoice/

I would not take his comments to personal, instead use them as inspiration to better your ability to compete in what I suspect is a small market. I am intrigued at how someone comes into the profession of voice over. Please share your story.
