When it comes to narration in documentaries and film, most often well known actors provide voice over work. Other male voice over talents are also needed in advertising, radio, television and film. Most often, these individuals only provide a vocal tract and do not need acting experience.

Individuals can also create a unique space advertising availability to work in the industry. Whether placing an independent ad, or registering with a database site, it is important to have a profile. A polished and professional profile will contain information on past and present jobs along with recorded vocal samples.

While becoming involved in the business is now more popular than ever before, only about 1 in 1000 make it to the recording phase, and most often for commercials rather than movies or television shows. There are several different venues in which these talents perform. Still, it can often be a long road from learning how to create a demo, creating one and getting work. As a result, those looking to work in the industry also need be patient, kind and understanding throughout the process.

Also, while most everyone wants to work in radio, film and television, it pays to be flexible. Voice over talents often provide work for ads, commercials and websites as well as narration for various movies and television shows. Beyond these areas, there are also opportunities for creating website advertising, and at events worldwide.

Anyone looking to work in the business needs to realize that only about one in a thousand are hired on a regular basis. So, while opportunities exist, there is also a lot of competition. Competition that includes award winning actors like James Earl Jones, and novices with little to no experience in acting or vocal work. Since this is the case, it pays to be dedicated, patient and realize one may have to send out hundreds, if not thousands of resumes before landing a job in the industry.

It is also advised that those looking to apply for these positions, watch a number of films and other programs in which this type talent is used before attending or recording an audition. One nice thing about this business is that it can be done by anyone anywhere provided one has the chance to work from home.

While some studios require people to work on site, others allow all work to be done from a home studio. When this is the case, it is important to have a dedicated area in the home in which a professional sound studio can be set up. Although, there are also some jobs which can be completed with a quality computer and microphone through one of the many online recording studios.

Seasoned actors and those with experience in radio are often the most sought after talents. Younger individuals looking to become involved in the industry may want to look towards volunteering at local radio and television studios when and where possible. In doing so, those with little to no acting experience often have a better of chance of getting an interview, as well as different types of jobs in the industry.
