In today’s economy we have seen thousands of workers in every profession getting pink slips and widening the unemployment numbers. Broadcasting is no different. Most major broadcasting groups are letting talent go and down sizing their operations. Even broadcasting schools are closing up due to students unable to secure educational loans.
So where can voice talent find work?
One likely market are business web pages. Here the voice artist can tell a company story or narrate it’s history and even post a commercial announcing current sales specials. This is not a new idea, just not many going after this market. Now all of the Mom and Pop owned businesses can get professional voice overs posted on their web site at fair market value and by-passing expensive advertising agency fees.
This is a very simple process. Pick a local web site and write a thirty or sixty second commercial with information taken from the site. Next get the company owners name and write an introduction e-mail, attach the audio files and sent it to the company. The more companies you contact the better. This is a great way to get your name out and they will remember you for your efforts and are prime for a followup phone call. We even offer to come out to their place of business and get the owner or store manager to voice part or all of their next promotion. It’s all about finding the next income stream in a not so certain economy.
