How do you get contacted for voice work?
Agency? Online portfolio?

psychics

Neither.
It's not something I do a huge amount of, probably due to a lack of the options you mentioned. There are a few companies who ask me from time to time, and they'd know me through production/presenting work I've done in the past.

I just answered a online ad for vo work
many years ago mind but I did make it into a game once.
( Tyronne Get To Falkirk, Wed 1 Jul 2009, 13:51, archived)

( manolith hooray for me, Wed 1 Jul 2009, 13:52, archived)

you would have once
it was for a olde quake mod that was to be professionally published....however the voice over stuff did get used in Battlecruiser Millennium.

I have the songs on mp3 somewhere.

jus' kiddin'
i don't actually want to shoot you
that's pretty cool though. i wouldn't like to do VO stuff due to having a quite offensively dull voice

I just read that saunas give you headaches.
This is somewhat unfortunate.

That's even mroe unfortunate.

( Jobe, Wed 1 Jul 2009, 14:08, archived)

I did a voice for a game a while ago.
It was a very low budget PC detective game. My character had a bomb in his goatee apparantly. I got a free copy of the game but never got as far as my character's scene. It was low budget for a reason.

Ah, the ol' "it's who you know" schtick, huh?
Well, still, any advice for an eager budding voice actor like me?
( Edd: The Unfunny Try-Hard Edgelord, Wed 1 Jul 2009, 13:52, archived)

I'm not in a position to listen to that right now.
And in general, no I don't.
As I said, this isn't something I do a huge amount of.
The only thing I can say is general actor advice; be as helpful as possible, and remember that your opinions don't count, you've been hired to do what the director says, not to think.
( Dr Preference AjcuiVd289, Wed 1 Jul 2009, 13:55, archived)

Righto then.
Ta.

Also remember that agencies for VO work get more demos than they know what to do with.
Many agencies admit that if you send them a demo it'll take over a year before they'll get round to hearing it.
