The other day on some Clubhouse talk about voiceover, a moderator said something to the effect that “Not everyone is capable of doing voiceover, because not everyone has the talent.”

I Believe...

Four Ways to Get a Start in VO THIS WEEKEND!—Without Spending (Much) Money

May 15, 2020 in acting, Voiceover, articles

Throughout the Covid crisis, there have been even more free and low-cost options than normal for getting practice in VO…webinars, Zoom lectures, Instagram challenges, and workouts galore.

Get started this weekend with four different ways to explore VO from home without breaking the bank!

The VO Before Christmas

December 23, 2019 in Voiceover

Inspired by the classic Christmas poem “A Visit From St. Nicholas” by Clement Clarke Moore, I wrote and performed a little something for all of my voiceover friends out there...relax in front of the roaring fire* with me for a few minutes before you have to go edit more files or pull those cookies out of the oven!

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Blessed Solstice, Happy Hanukkah…and wishing that the New Year brings you ever closer to your dreams!

Much love,

Billie Jo

All these things that I've done

Helloooo!

Once again, I got so busy with all the exciting things I've been doing that I forgot to update…. What’s been happening? Here’s the quick rundown of everything since January 1st:

In January, I did a VO for Traditional Medicinals…as soon as it’s released, I'll post it. I can't wait to share it, because it's really delightful.

The same day, I shot a short film called Old Media Studies, written and directed by Stephan Clark. I play a New Media Studies professor with a pretty, ahem, exciting wardrobe.

A few weeks ago, I voiced a really inspiring piece for Cambia Health. I’m not sure if I’ll get to share this one or not, but it was a great experience. I love reading copy that has that edge of wonder to it.

Last weekend, I shot a training video with Best Buy, and learned a lot about what it takes to install washers and dryers.

I’m currently taking an online VO class with the fabulous Tina Zaremba…can’t recommend her enough! Click here to check her out!

And I registered to attend VO Atlanta for the first time! I’m so excited to attend this conference, meet other VO artists and industry people, fill my head with knowledge until it explodes, and get inspired!!!

Other fun and exciting things:

1. A client told me my voice was “magical.” How does one even begin to accept that compliment? By stuttering, that’s how.

2. I can’t prove it, but it actually happened: Ben Folds told me I was a good singer. I’ll accept that compliment as well, but once again, not without stuttering.

3. I did a self-tape audition with my cat (they asked for him to audition as well, I didn’t just include him of my own accord).

4. BONUS! I have wanted to see The Killers for years...and they were as AMAZING as I'd hoped
