Forging into new territory

There are many, many paths an actor can take in her career. Musicals, film, regional theatre, commercials, soaps...and on and on. For the most part, I've been concentrating on stage work. But ever since voice class in college, I've also been interested in voice-over work. Actually, maybe it started in my mother's English class, when I got up in front of the class and recited poetry for assignments. No matter...!

For the past year, I've really been talking about it seriously. And back in May, I started taking classes. Initially I took an intro class. And then I went on to private lessons. And then...I made my very first commercial voice-over reel! It's really great! The material? Applebee's, Blockbuster, Fuji, Easter Seals and Payless! 5 commercials in one minute.

And now I have to get a CD cover designed. How to market my voice...wow. It's weird!
