There are many ways that you can help promote your voiceover work. One of them is by simply creating a CD and making sure they get into the hands of the art and creative directors, producers, agents. Sometimes people have everything up on their website or sometimes it could be the agent's website and there are other places that you can go to upload your demo reel. Here's an idea that you might not have thought of that actually can be very, very helpful to you. That is basically copying your MP3 file onto a flash drive. You can have it custom made, you can have your name, you can have your contact information, your email address right on the flash drive, and it really, it's a wonderful way of handing out your demo reel to other industry professionals. This is just one of the many topics you're going to be learning when you register for the Voiceover Jobs Online Workshop. You'll even learn how to put together a great demo reel, how to get work even if you're living in a small market. You're going to learn how to find the right agent to submit you for voiceover work.
