    Nigel,
    Hi.

    When talent agencies offer a new voiceover talent to their clients their first question is how the voiceover artist sounds like. And the office co-ordinator quickly sends them a voiceover sample to show how the capabilities of the talent offered.

    If you would like to become a voiceover artist, you may want to create your demo reel first. Clients/producers are usually not interested in seeing a resume - they only care about what they hear. Read more on this here:

    Once you have your voiceover sample(s) send them to as many talent agencies/production houses as possible. Some voiceover artists send CDs while others compress the broadcast quality audio into MP3 files and submit/upload them to their prospects.

    The BBC offers great language courses on their website. German is also available. You may want to take a look at this:

    Please let us know if you have any other ideas!

    Thank you,
