Talent Agency and Voice Over Talent Demo Reels. Launching a Career in Voiceover Is Tough Work. By Simi Horwitz | Posted April 28, 2011, 2:04 p.m. Sara Krieger, a veteran commercial voiceover artist, says it's a common mistake to believe that having a deep, resonant, well-trained voice makes you a shoo-in for a career in voiceover. But neither does having a quirky, distinctive voice, she adds: "When someone comes to me and says, 'I've been told I have a voice for voiceovers,' I say, 'Can you read copy? You have to be able to get a point across, relate a feeling, and nail it the first time.

Breaking In One constant remains, however: To have a serious career in commercial voiceover, an actor needs representation, preferably in a major market.
