How to Get Signed and Succeed with a Voice Over Agent
Every voice actor dreams of getting signed by a voice over agent at some point in their career. Maybe you have very specific agent goals or maybe you just want an agent (or some agents), period. Either way, in an ever-growing competitive landscape, how does a voice actor stand out? How do you get noticed by an agent? How do you make them want to sign you?
Tanya Buchanan is the owner of Ta-Da! Voiceworks. She’s also a member of the VO Agent Alliance. In this interview, she answers all your questions including how to get signed. What agents are looking for. What kind of stuff can get you dumped by an agent and more.
We also talk briefly about V.O. North, the voice over conference happening this September in Toronto, ON Canada. Ta-Da! Voiceworks – https://www.tadavoiceworks.com V.O. North Conference https://www.vonorth.com
