Today, the marketplace has broadened and diversified but there are only five distinct categories of voiceover that make up about 85% of the New York City market. And any New York Actor looking to pursue voiceover needs to understand this market.
In this lecture and Q&A voice casting director Hugh P. Klitzke will talk about those five categories; their differences and similarities, provide script examples, play audio of each, talk about casting process and yes, even talk about money.
