The Top Reasons to Get a Voiceover Agent
Preparation is essential in launching a successful voiceover career. Initially you’ll want to take voiceover classes and eventually produce a high quality narration demo. Next, securing a solid voiceover agent can be extremely useful in launching your career. Voiceover agents act as your liaison to voiceover casting directors and producers who hire narrators. The voiceover agent fee is 10% of your gross earnings before taxes. To land a voiceover agent, you’ll need to send a copy of your voiceover demo and a cover letter to each agent stating that you’re looking for representation. Voiceover agents used to require you to mail your submissions, but many agents today will allow you to email them. It’s not always possible, but if you can get an industry referral into a voiceover agent, it might get you faster consideration. The process of getting considered by agents is not fast, so be patient and give each agent two to three weeks before following up with them.
