Great Overview

This is a great overview of the work told in an entertaining way. I wish they'd give a little more info on rates paid.

Filled with valuable information!

I'm not finished yet with this book but so far have been taking great amounts of notes, been practicing exercises, and have been changing the way I look at this profession in a good way! I even bought the audio version so I can listen to it during my busy schedule driving around town! I can't recommend this book enough!

Great listen!

I got this because I am trying to get more into VO work. Both Yuri and Tera give great advice and perfect reading in this audible format.
I plan on buying the book and going through it again because there's some good visuals on script reads.

I hope to one day to be on their level of knowledge and get the opportunity to be able to work with them!

BTW Highly recommended this listen!

Invaluable (and fun to listen to) resource

A wealth of information presented in a friendly, sometimes tongue-in-cheek way. Bought the paperback, as well. Unbelievably thorough section on body and vocal warm-ups and tongue-twisters.

Informative

I've always wanted to be a voice actor. I've blue skied it in my head but didn't get into the classes. I'm glad this audio book came out. I have a way to learn more and practice.

Great narration and content

This audiobook is a must for anyone considering work as a voice over. I'm going to get the paperback, too.

Still The Most Comprehensive book on VOICE ACTING & VOICE OVER out there!

Yuri and Tara are trusted names in the business and they know their readers are looking for a fun read... And THEY DELIVER!
With this new extended edition, they go into just the right amount of detail into every field of VA/VO to help any hopeful reader make distinguished performances. (Not to mention the warm-ups and tongue twisters at the end prove to be very helpful in gaining an edge in kinesthetic awareness.)
Hearing the authors narrate the book was also a treat.
This is my third time with this book, and I will likely return to it again.
(The only thing I found a little odd was there were some instances where Yuri would read an anecdote by a woman and Tara would read an anecdote by a man and it would take me a second to revisualize the situation...but all's good!)
Thank you so much for this guide!
Now off to more classes and auditions!

Must Have for Voice Actors

This is like the Bible of voice over, a must have for any voice actor regardless of your experience in the industry. This book does such a great job teaching, reinforcing, and showcasing VO skills from a couple of industry titans. Yuri and Tara are extraordinarily charming and engaging in their narration, you can just tell this book was made with so much love and passion by them for voice over.
