If you're a person who's been gifted with vocal variety, a hard working actor who wants to expand your casting potential, or just someone who's been told, “You have an interesting sound,” you may wish to consider a career in the cartoon/character/looping area of voice-overs.

Pamela Lewis, an accomplished voice-over artist and coach, has developed a CD workshop for people who are curious about breaking into the exciting world of “talking funny for money.” In this workshop, you will learn: how to assemble a competitive cartoon/character voice-over demo; shortcuts to mastering the most requested dialects, age groups and celebrity impersonations; film looping/dubbing technique and terminology; and the varied employment opportunities in the cartoon/character/looping world.

This workshop is an excellent introduction to a creative and lucrative area of voice-overs. As Ms. Lewis puts it, “What could be better than making funny noises for a living?”.
