watch that here<\/a>) and I was put in touch with the Marketing Director. He and I have kept in touch since and I am expecting more work in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\nTell me about how you got the work with Epic Invite? What has it been like working with them?<\/strong><\/p>\nOne of the platforms I use for marketing my business is Backstage. Epic Invite had a posting there seeking voice actors for their new product launch, custom invitations. They asked for demos and I applied. The response from the producer was as follows, \u201cAfter listening to demos all day, we were very excited to hear yours! You probably get this all the time, but your voice is reminiscent of the great James Earl Jones! We\u2019d love to have you on our roster if you\u2019re interested\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\nThank you Anglea Castonguay for the great direction helping me produce my demos!<\/span><\/p>\nHow did you get into Audiobooks? What role did your SAV training play?<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span>I decided that based on my past experience with narrating scripts for retiring military service members, and for my job in support of key milestones, I really liked telling the stories and bringing them to life. So transitioning to audiobook narration was almost a natural progression for me. The training I received from Cathi Colas has been absolutely instrumental and helped me to not only become a better storyteller and actor, but to also look one level deeper at the characters in fiction books to really bring out the emotions of those characters. The way I show my appreciation for all that she has and continues to teach me, is by continuing to refine my craft everyday. Thank you Cathi.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\nWhat is your absolute dream VO role?<\/strong><\/p>\nMy absolute dream voice acting job would be working for TV networks like The Discovery Channel, History Channel, or Travel Channel narrating stories, shows, or documentaries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nHow is SAV continuing to support you in your voice-over journey?<\/strong><\/p>\nConsistent with my answer to why I chose Such A Voice, this team trains end to end. Such A Voice doesn\u2019t just train a new voice actor and send them on their way, this team continues to provide support in the form of additional coaching, the VO Pro Membership, and lifetime support.<\/span><\/p>\nIf you could travel anywhere in the world for a week, where would you go?<\/strong><\/p>\nI would love to visit Germany for a week. In all my time traveling with the Navy, I never had an opportunity to visit.<\/span><\/p>\nAnything else you want to add or mention?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe next phase of my business includes rebranding myself to really go after a niche market which is the Intelligence community (IC) and Department of defense (DoD), a total of 18 organizations. So, I am looking forward to having a brand that I feel really speaks to my military background, years of service, and commitment to our country. The tag line will be something like the “Voice of Service”. I feel as though partnering with the IC\/DoD community will be a natural transition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nLastly, I have a framed piece of art, which hangs in the staircase area of my basement which reads, \u201cDon\u2019t wish for it, Work it\u201d\u00a0 – that\u2019s my motto in the voice-over business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arthur Dent started the Such A Voice VIP Program in January of 2023, and since then, has built (and continues to grow) a successful voice-over business.
