Today was the beginning of what is looking to be a long and incredible journy. I finally got off my ass and signed up for voice over training - with the best in the world. On top of that, I only did this because I was recommended by one of the top producers in the company to do so.
That said, it makes me feel like I have a lot to work for. This has been a dream of mine for so long, it's almost unbelievable that it is finally and actually a reality.
This tale really began yesterday when I attended a continued education class at the community college in town. The class, Intro to Voice Overs, was run by John Gallogly. His seminar was really informative, fun, and resparked the interest and desire that I had. Around 9a this morning I got a call from a man named Don (who's been in the buisness for 47 years!) and he gave me my feedback and let me know the details about the trainings that they offer.
In pretty much a split second I just knew that this was what I was going to be doing. And here I am, not even a full day into joining the program, bursting with excitement.
The only downside, is I'm not 100% in just yet.
For the first session, you basically do a test of sorts. Readings, commercial and narrative, to see if my voice is even good enough, just based on raw talent. If I pass the test, I get to continue on and do the next three sessions, the final of which I get to be in the studio and make a demo.
Tomorrow I have plans to start on the online classes that go hand in hand with the sessions. I want to start as soon as possible and next Friday, October 5 can not get here sooner. I have every confidence in myself and my abilities, but prayer is still there to help me calm my nerves and center myself.
That'll be my unpdate for now. It's late and I'm quite tired. I'll do my best to post often and keep things updated. This blog is going to be part of my training in that I want to be held accountable, at least to myself. So writing this all down, keeping up with things, and just getting out there and making sure I'm spending some time each week marketing is a start. And helpful.
If you're reading along, thanks for being here on my journy with me, even if just in spirit.
That's it for now. Night.
