STARTING YOUR OWN VOICEOVER BUSINESS Q&A REVIEWS...AND FAREWELL

Each Tuesday of Harlan Hogan's month-long STARTING YOUR VOICEOVER BUSINESS: Everything You Need To Know To Turn Your Dream Or Your Sideline Into A Business teleseminar series included an open-ended Q&A session.

Last night marked the last session of our final week. During this last week we covered the nitty gritty of business & legal matters, unions, and agents.

Here's what our students had to say about the week, tonight's Q&A session, and the class overall.

VOICEOVER LEGEND PATRICK FRALEY AND DAN O'DAY SHARE PUBLIC SPEAKING TIPS

Voice acting superstar and coach Patrick Fraley returns to teach an all-new workshop at this year's International Radio Creative & Production Summit.

SOME VOICEOVER QUESTIONS WE MIGHT NOT ASK HARLAN

Gaylord Villers is a strategic planner and a friend of Harlan Hogan. When he heard about Harlan's "Should I Start My Own Voiceover Business in 2009?" teleseminar, he offered these starter questions.

• Everyone says I have a really good voice; don’t you think this is a slam-dunk for me?

• Would you mind if I like “rode with you” for a few days to master this business? I might even have some ideas for you. I’d need a place to stay, though.

• My wife is really hot. Should I bring her to auditions? She’d do anything to get me work.

• How do you handle V/O groupies? Is this a big distraction for you?

• I’m semi-retired, and all I’d need is one $500 gig per day. This should be pretty easy to get, right?

• People say I can sound just like William Shatner. Should I promote this talent now or wait until he dies?

• By the way, I can sound just like you, too. Why not let me work in your place on your days off — I’ll cut you in.

• With all the aging baby boomers, I predict there will be a Nursing Home Network (aka Assisted Living Radio) — at the end of your radio dial. Can I help you move into this? Then I can take your jobs that need a younger voice. Let’s get together.
