Throatsinger Posted December 1, 2002 Posted December 1, 2002 After years of studying throat-singing, I've developed my voice in ways that make me think that I could be good at providing unique voices, especially for animation. Can anyone suggest ways to get into that business? Thanks, Steve Sklar Steve Sklar http://khoomei.com http://www.bigskyrocks.com
spigotsaol.com Posted December 1, 2002 Posted December 1, 2002 Make a SHORT demo, put it on CD in an attractive package. Get the demo in the hands of the people that are actually doing the work, and offer to help them with demos, on-hold messages, pet projects, etc for free. Show them that you are a pro, that you can nail it in 1-3 takes, that you are versital, that you have no attitude, and that you won't waste their time. You start getting paid very shortly after that.

D_dup3 Posted December 1, 2002 Posted December 1, 2002 Spigots, you forgot to mention the importance of controlling the relative volume of consonants...such as the letter "m"! ;)
Throatsinger Posted December 2, 2002 Author Posted December 2, 2002 Thanks, Spigot. D, I can control the relative levels of the harmonics within the consonants. Didja know that to make an "m" sound, your velum must be open? Steve Steve Sklar http://khoomei.com http://www.bigskyrocks.com
