Start by registering at the SA Voice Over Academy (SAVOA) . The academy will teach you the techniques that the pro’s use to make voice over sound so simple – techniques that will immediately set you apart from your fellow artistic peers. Once you have the right training register your voice on voice portals such as Voice Bank and Voice Archive, these are usually the first places producers go when seeking voices for their audio requirements.
