He's also promoting a Voiceover Jobs Online Workshop and an upcoming interview with voiceover artist Ty Ford.
Hi, my name is Aaron Marcus, America's premier acting and commercial modeling career coach, the founder of HowToModel.com, the author of How to Become a Successful Commercial Model, and I've been making my living as an actor and a commercial model for over 26 years. You know, for people who are just getting started and they have to put together their first demo reel, one of the questions that comes up is, well, what kind of copy, what words can they actually use to create this demo reel? So something that I would recommend that you do is get the copy, get the words from really good radio spots. Don't use TV commercials, don't use ads in magazines, and I would not use the brand names. I would change some of the words around just so you're not dealing with any kind of copyright infringement, but at least it will give you a very good framework for really, really strong copy. And that is a wonderful way to get started by creating your first demo And just on a little bit of a side note, just make sure that the radio spot matches your voice well, that it's the kind of radio spot that would be right for you.
