How do you get your first voiceover job? That is the subject of this week’s VO School Podcast!

We investigate four huge tactics that will help you book not only your first gig, but regularly as a voice actor. 

How do you market and brand yourself? Should you reach out to an agent for representation? How do pay to play and online marketplaces fit into your career (and should they!)? And how do you reach out to marketing and advertising agencies to promote yourself. We also discuss how getting recommendations from other voiceover professionals is vital to a successful career.

I’m joined by The Voiceover Network’s Rachael Naylor and Bodalgo.com’s Armin Hierstetter. Two highly respected and well known members of the voiceover industry. We have a frank and sometimes surprising discussion about booking work as a voice actor in the 21st century. And most excitingly (not really), I reveal that my favorite word in the entire world is in fact German!

Episode 8 - Finding Your First VO Job with Rachael Naylor & Armin Hierstetter

Mustachioed Mainer, Jacob McCurdy, blends Folk, Rock, and Roots into his very own brand of Indie-Americana. Love, heartbreak, joy, and the perfect moment; all pitched against the lush backdrop of honest harmony. On July 24th, McCurdy released For the Weekend (FTW), his first fully produced solo EP in 9 years.

﻿Normally filling his time with weddings and pub gigs with his cover band The Dapper Gents or playing bass with The Johnny Clay Shanks band, McCurdy started focusing on writing new original material in the beginning of 2020.
﻿With the extra time on his hands due to the current pandemic, he’s been writing up a storm. First up are the five songs off the new EP comprised mostly of songs related to love (maybe more so about heartbreak).

With plans for a full length album to be released in 2021, he shows no signs of stopping. With numerous virtual co-writing sessions a week, McCurdy has thrown himself into a full-time schedule of collaboration.
