ways to get around the competition and actually turn voice-overs
into a thriving full or part-time business!
Terry Daniel, successful
voice-over artist (Hallmark, Apple Computers, Boston Scientific),

will talk about the numerous opportunities, the income potential,
and the “all-important” demo and how to have it produced.
