How did you get started?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;m a bit of a newbie in the industry. I started doing voice overs part-time in 2009 and had so much success that last year I decided to go full time right after my son was born. &nbsp;When I was a child I would imitate cartoon voices&nbsp;and thought it must be terrific to do that for a living. I sang in choirs&nbsp;and eventually developed a passion for performing arts. In college, I studied&nbsp;theatre&nbsp;and communications, volunteered for a local radio station&nbsp;and acted whenever I could. It wasn&#8217;t until somewhat recently that&nbsp;advancements in&nbsp;technology&nbsp;(and related costs) have&nbsp;allowed folks like me to set up shop in their own homes and be able to produce and transmit&nbsp;broadcast&nbsp;quality audio.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>What are some of the benefits of being a freelance&nbsp;voice actor&nbsp;and working from home?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Working from home has got to be the ultimate perk. Some people aren&#8217;t able to juggle the freedom and stay disciplined but I thrive at home. My commute is literally walking down a short hallway and there is no dress code. This type of work also comes with a supremely flexible schedule- if I&#8217;m not receiving live direction, I&#8217;m free to record at almost any hour of the day.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>How has&nbsp;The Voice Realm&nbsp;helped you find work?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Voice Realm provides an online portal for potential clients to listen to samples of my work and it also makes it easy for them to book me directly. <strong>On a good number of occasions I&#8217;ve been handed jobs based on nothing but my demos.<\/strong> That is a true pleasure. I&#8217;ve also been introduced to clients I never would have found anywhere else.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>How is it different to other sites&nbsp;you\u2019ve&nbsp;seen?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I love that I&#8217;m a member of a small group of serious talent. It&#8217;s great for me because it means less competition. <strong>It&#8217;s great for the clients because they don&#8217;t need to be bothered with 200 auditions from amateurs.<\/strong> The fixed rates thankfully take the guessing game out of bidding on projects and payments are made swiftly.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>What\u2019s the quality of jobs like that&nbsp;you&#8217;ve&nbsp;seen come through the site?&nbsp;<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>They&#8217;ve all been great. I haven&#8217;t experienced any issues with awful copy or multiple retake requests and I keep seeing bigger names come through the site. That makes me happy.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>How about the assistance and support&nbsp;you&#8217;ve&nbsp;received&nbsp;from the site?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Nothing but stellar support from the team at The Voice Realm. Emails are responded to promptly, from a real person, and I know that I can turn to them with any potential project disputes and feel like I have someone on my side.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Where do you see the future of the voice over industry going?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It&#8217;s all about the ever-changing technology. Currently, talent need real skills in audio engineering, editing, and using other web-based tools to get the job done. As better technology makes this easier and perhaps even automated, we&#8217;ll probably see more people dabbling in the industry and quicker turnaround times. Rates for non-specialized talent may decrease but I truly believe that clients will continue to get what they pay for in terms of quality. &nbsp;I don&#8217;t think that simulated voices manufactured by computers will ever be a threat to the industry as it seems fairly impossible to program the emotional nuances and creativity that real actors bring to the microphone.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>What are some of the benefits&nbsp;you&#8217;ve&nbsp;found from being in control of which jobs you audition for?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Simply auditioning for <i>everything<\/i> is surely a waste of my time and the client&#8217;s. Based on what the client is looking for, I can usually tell very readily if I have the ability to supply the type of voice they want. It&#8217;s certainly better than being told which jobs I can audition for or having any limits or restrictions around the auditioning process. And no matter what I audition for, I know it&#8217;s not going to be lost in a pile of other auditions.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">You can hire or audition male voice talent <a title=\"Male Voice Talent\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/view-profile-artist.php?artist_id=6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Dan&nbsp;Taraborrelli<\/span><\/a> at The Voice Realm.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dan&nbsp;Taraborrelli is a voice talent that loves his job and was destined for success due to his passion from a young age.
