 Want a Dream Job? This book is a MUST Read!!! October 29, 2008
Caryn V. Clark (Florida)
Voice for Hire offers insight from two of the most knowledgeable voice-over talent in the biz. It is a MUST READ for anyone who's interested in having the recession-proof career that voice-over offers. Before I was a voice over talent, I worked in "Corporate America." A number of my friends are losing their jobs right now, but as an independent contractor owning my own business, my business is actually growing!! I've recently completed a group of national television commercials for several Hannah Montana products, as well as other toys... and the list goes on.

This book provided amazing insight by a legend who has since passed away most recently, making this book even more important to pick up now.
The views are extremely valuable to those who are planning a career in voice overs.
For some who have already been in the business for many years, the material may sound repetitive, but the material is valuable considering the sources.
Great work done by great people, and having Don Lafontaine as part of this book is fitting testament to how he will be sorely missed, and what he gave to a career he loved.
Exceptional Book! October 26, 2008

I highly recommend this book to anyone even slightly curious about the voice over industry. It is extremely informative and detailed yet wonderfully entertaining and interesting. Drawing from their many of years of experience in this field, Randy Thomas and Peter Rofe navigate through the dos and don'ts with intelligence, sensitivity and charm and provide the insight, details and perspectives that only those who have worked in this industry for many years can truly provide. Commentary from other successful voice-over actors adds beautifully to the various topics and underscores the value and importance of the advice imparted by these professionals. After reading Randy and Peter's book, I could not help but get excited about their profession and to feel fortunate to have benefited from their experiences. I have read several books on this topic but "VOICE FOR HIRE (How to Launch and Maintain A Lucrative Voice-Over Career) is by far the best I have read. It is, I believe, a must read for all of those who aspire to doing voice-over work professionally.
