Three professional talent agents. Three different perspectives. One very informative 90-minute workshop! Ever wonder what goes through a talent agent's mind when they listen to your voiceover demo? What makes them choose one voice actor over another? And why do some talented people struggle to get an agent's attention? Well, instead of guessing, we're going straight to the source! UVT Coaching is excited to present "Behind the Agency Doors: What Voiceover Agents REALLY Want!"

We’ll use this page to share current voiceover opportunities, audition details, deadlines, performance direction, and submission instructions.

So, you want to get into voiceovers. Awesome. Now, before you buy a $1,500 microphone, sign up for six different pay-to-play audition sites, record a homemade demo in your bedroom, and start planning what you’re going to do with all that money somebody on social media promised you would make in the first 30 days, I’d like to help. There is an enormous amount of good information available to beginning voice actors. There is also an enormous amount of absolute bullshit, and unf

I put together a few voiceover demo samplers to showcase some of the production work I have done for our students. Many students have gone on to book work regularly and secure representation with talent agencies.

Sometimes I look back at the kid I used to be and wonder how the hell I ended up here.

The obsession with pay-to-play (P2P) sites in voiceover groups on social media still amazes me. Every other conversation seems to revolve around which platform is better, who's getting auditions, who's booking work, and whether the latest subscription is worth the money. Everybody gets excited until they start reading the fine print about AI, licensing agreements, or that thrilling $200 audition asking for usage rights in perpetuity. What a deal! :-) I've said this before, an

If you’ve been putting off getting your professional voiceover demo produced, I want to give you a little motivation to finally get it done. There’s been plenty of noise lately about AI voices, cheap synthetic narration and every new piece of technology that is supposedly going to replace voice actors. But while all of that gets the headlines, the advertising and content business continues to grow. Industry forecasts are pointing to continued growth in digital advertising, vi

Here are some of the most popular questions from Friday’s “Ask Terry Anything About Voiceovers”, along with my answers. If you’re getting started in voiceover, you probably have questions. A lot of them. And unfortunately, there is a LOT of voiceover information floating around online—some great, some outdated, and some that sounds like it came from somebody who bought a USB microphone on Tuesday and became a guru by Thursday. 😂 So instead of making this complicated, here ar

Facebook groups, Reddit threads, LinkedIn communities and other voiceover forums can be incredibly useful. You can meet other voice actors, compare experiences, learn about gear, talk about auditions, discuss rates and occasionally pick up a really valuable piece of information. I participate in these conversations myself, and there are absolutely good people sharing good information. But there’s something every newer voice actor needs to understand: not everyone giving advic

There are going to be times in your voiceover journey when it feels like somebody dumped a 1,000-piece puzzle on the floor and then casually said, “Okay… build a career.” Training, recording, editing, demos, marketing, auditions, equipment, rates, clients, social media, websites—and somewhere in the middle of all that, you’re apparently supposed to remember to breathe. I get it. As someone with ADHD, I know that overwhelmed feeling very well. Some days my brain has 37 tabs op

Today's "Ask Terry Anything About Voiceovers" generated some great questions, so I thought I’d share the four most frequently asked, along with my answers. 1. “Did the 4th of July discounts expire?” Not yet... but they will soon!
