Master the Art: Ask an Expert: Voiceovers How to get started in Voiceovers How do I know if I have talent for that? Voiceover work is highly desired by many aspiring and experienced actors. If you want to pursue Voiceover work, here are some questions: . Do people compliment your speaking voice and suggest that you should be on radio? . Or, they say you have a great radio voice? . Or, they think you already are on the radio? If so, you might be a good candidate for Voiceover work. Do you love to do character or cartoon voices? Or, make ‘weird’ sounds with your mouth just for the fun of it? Do you have to make radio commercials for your company? One of the best ways to get started as a Voiceover, is to understand that you should hone your craft as an actor. Voiceover work isn't easy as it looks. You need to take: . coaching / classes in character development and commercial acting . singing or voice lessons . diction, dialogue & speaking coaching or classes . . . . . . . and more You will need help from your acting coach to help you develop the copy content and layout for your demo CD, BEFORE you go into the studio to record.

Review of "A Steady Rain" at none too fragile
by Bob Abelman 29 Oct '17

29 Oct '17

none too fragile’s ‘A Steady Rain’ is a washout Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics Any play penned by “House of Cards” and “Mad Men” writer Keith Huff is bound to be an intense, testosterone-soaked exploration into the male psyche. And “A Steady Rain,” a one-act two-hander whose 2009 Broadway incarnation starred action film attractions Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman, most certainly is. The play, currently on stage at none too fragile, features two childhood friends who become Chicago cops. Denny is impulsive, explosive and corrupt to the core. Joey is a recovering alcoholic who carries and covers for his out-of-control best friend while falling in love with his wife, two small children, and the stability they represent. As the steady rain escalates, so too do their errors in judgement and the tension between them. The script consists of alternating monologues that recount past events laced with in-the-moment dialogue, all of which takes itself as stone-cold seriously, possesses the same urgency and flows with the same gritty poetry as a classic piece of film noire storytelling. Director Robert Ellis strips the production down to a bare performance space with only two black chairs, which reflects the emptiness in the characters’ lives and places all our attention on the words and their delivery. He provides scattered pools of light through which the actors walk in and out as they pace the stage in quiet desperation. And he hires the wrong actor to play Denny.
