She records from her professional studio in Sydney Australia serving international clients. Dani is a proud voice talent at The Voice Realm and we are so happy to have her!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>How long have you been doing voice overs? How did you get started?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I\u2019ve been doing voiceovers full time since 2008, but voicing ads,&nbsp; promos etc was always a part of my job throughout my on air career, having worked in commercial radio since 1996.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nMy first radio job was at a small country station where I was the only female broadcaster and I was thus called upon to voice all the ads for products aimed at \u2018the ladies\u2019.&nbsp; I suppose I quickly learned the craft there as I continued to be called on for voiceovers at all the stations I worked for, including in Sydney and Brisbane.<\/p>\n<p>When I began to fantasize about life as a full time voiceover, I realised it was time to cut the radio apron strings and enter the brave new world of freelancing.<\/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>Oh, becoming a freelance voiceover is only the best decision I ever made.<br \/>\nI love the complete control I now have over my life.&nbsp; If I work on a weekend, it\u2019s <i>my<\/i> choice to do so.&nbsp; And I love that if I work hard, it\u2019s for someone who appreciates my efforts\u2026&nbsp; me!<br \/>\nIt\u2019s wonderful to be able to choose the work I do and who I work with.&nbsp; It\u2019s been five years since I made the leap and I still feel extremely lucky to be \u2018getting away with it\u2019.<\/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 makes the process of securing quality jobs simple and pain free.&nbsp; I have never had an agent in the conventional sense of the word, nor have I needed one.&nbsp; Traditionally voice talent with agency representation has tended to get the better jobs, so for those of us out there on our own, <strong>it is really good to have an organisation like The Voice Realm doing what they can to secure some of that work for us freelancers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>How is it different to other sites&nbsp;you&#8217;ve&nbsp;seen?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With many other sites, it\u2019s totally about value for the \u2018employer\u2019 and therefore there is pressure on the freelancer to offer the&nbsp;absolute&nbsp;lowest price.&nbsp; This can be disastrous for an experienced professional who has to compete with inferior and often amateur contractors on price just to get a look in.<\/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>So far the work I have received from The Voice Realm has been great.&nbsp; The clients have been happy with the first take I have supplied and I see this as partly a reflection on <strong>The Voice Realm effectively managing the client\u2019s expectations and helping them select the talent that is exactly right for their project.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>How about the assistance and support you\u2019ve&nbsp;received&nbsp;from the site?&nbsp;<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Because The Voice Realm is so well structured I haven\u2019t really needed any assistance or support.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Where do you see the future of the voice over industry going?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As better technology becomes more accessible I doubt there will be much need for voice talent to physically be in any particular studio when their home studio sounds so good.&nbsp; Plus a good voice talent usually&nbsp;doesn&#8217;t&nbsp;need any face to face direction.&nbsp; A few lines above a script will usually suffice.&nbsp; With that in mind, hiring through something like The Voice Realm is the way of the future.<br \/>\nI am always puzzled when I hear an ad on the radio now where the voiceover is putting on an accent that is clearly not naturally theirs.&nbsp; I wonder why, when it\u2019s so simple and cost-effective to hire the real thing (ie an artist with the accent they want), they don\u2019t.&nbsp; An Aussie can spot a fake accent a mile off, so hire a real native&nbsp;Australian voice!<\/p>\n<p>Hire Dani when you next require an authentic <a title=\"Australian female voice artists\" href=\"www.thevoicerealm.com.au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Australian female voice<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australian female voice over artist Dani Bellamy has never had a traditional voice over agent, but is now one of Australia&#8217;s top voice over&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":902,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[427,425],"tags":[222,225],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/488"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=488"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/488\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4837,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/488\/revisions\/4837"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/902"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=488"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=488"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=488"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
