Joan Baker, NY Voice Actor and author of Secrets of Voice Over Success, interviews top voice actors, including Joe Cipriano,  E.G. Daily, and Don LaFontaine, among others, including herself. These talented folks reveal how they did it,

And  there are 19 Secrets of Voice-Over Success. Guess you’ll need to get the book to learn what they are.

Here are 3 of my favorites:

• Vital to your success is how you conduct yourself with your clients. Your personal issues have no place in the studio.


• Be prepared for a very tough and competitive business. You have to do your homework. You have to spend time and money to become successful.


• Within the world of the microphone be cognizant of the importance of meter, melody and phrasing- balance and harmony- consistency and precision, then aim to forget these restraints.

Some of the proceeds from the book go to the Alzheimer’s Association.
