SYNOPSIS
Securing representation is vital to performers who want to build careers in voiceover. Agents that understand who you are and what you can do behind the mic is important, but knowing if an agent and their agency is a good fit for you is equally important. Voiceover Agent Talks are conversations with voiceover agents from various agencies intended to bridge the gap a bit and help performers gain a better sense of what agents are looking for and how they can help shape your voiceover aspirations.
Moderated by Wendy Rosoff, Actor, Dancer, Theatre Director, Podcaster (Two in the Solo Booth and Sky Talks).
