There has never been more voiceover work than today—which means there has never been a better time to book work! While voiceover jobs in animation, commercials, and video games can often be completed remotely, it still pays to have a local talent agent in the field, particularly when you’re just starting out.
Which brings us to the voiceover actors of Orlando, Florida. There are tons of opportunities in your backyard (OK, maybe not in your backyard, but definitely close by), and there are a number of terrific talent agencies that either specialize in VO or have an arm devoted to it. Read on to find the one that’s best for you.
