For Actors
Samples:
Eamonn Farrell is a Brooklyn-based voice over and theatre director. Eamonn holds a degree in theatre from Duke University and has ten years of experience as a stage and media director. For the past several years, he has worked with Lee Breuer and Mabou Mines as an assistant director and performer. He also directs and writes for own company, Anonymous Ensemble, which specializes in multi-media performance.
As the voice over director for Vertical Learning Curve, an animation company specializing in online education, Eamonn was responsible for casting the voice talent and directing the recording for animation, so he has an understanding of what it takes to get cast in coveted spots. Performing for a microphone is very different from acoustic acting but with a few pointers, an actor's inherent abilities can come to bear. Eamonn has experience training stage actors to adapt to the new medium of voice over. He is also a working voice over artist himself and has voiced commercials, cartoons, industrials, radio spots and film narration.
Voice Over work is one possible revenue stream for actors that is as strong as ever right now. For actors looking to get into voice over work, Eamonn offers an affordable, no frills VO demo creation service. A demo is simply a tool for getting work in a particular market, much like a headshot.
For one flat fee of $300, Eamonn will:
-
Consult with you via telephone about your demo.
-
Help you select a variety of effective copy.
-
Work with you on the copy, helping you to get comfortable with the microphone and the material. Record a number of takes of each of the spots.
-
Select and edit the takes, adding sound effects and music as necessary.
-
Send you a draft of a long demo via MP3. You and Eamonn will discuss possible cuts and changes he will make the discussed changes and send you the final demo
-
Send you the final demo in all the formats you need to get voice over work.

Eamonn asks that he be paid the entire fee in person (cash or check) at the finish of the recording session. By the end of the session, you will have heard your takes throughout the session and will know what kind of finished product to expect.
