Taking some time out each week to listen and learn from voiceover experts is a non-negotiable for both seasoned and beginning voice artists.
However, being actively involved in classes or training sessions can sometimes be difficult to fit into weekly schedules. That’s where podcasts have really come into their own. They fill a niche’ of passive listening and being able to pinpoint specific information being given.
There are truly an abundance of top notch podcasts to pick from, with amazing free advice and tips regarding the voiceover profession. I have singled out a few British & American podcasts that I have on my playlist.
UK Podcasts
VO Social Podcast Considered the first voiceover specific podcast in the UK, according to Vocal Process Podcast. Nic Redman & Leah Marks have incorporated VO social get togethers (both online & in person) with their podcast for about 8 years. This spring it will be re-launching with new pod hosts Rob and Helen Bee from B Double E.
