So nice to get away to New York and catch up with voiceover talent manager <a href='https://www.backstage.com/magazine/author/jeffrey-umberger/'>Jeffrey Umberger</a>, who works as a talent manager for <a href='https://www.acmtalent.com/'>ACM Talent</a> in the city. Sitting down with Jeffrey gives you a whole new perspective inside the world of entertainment - including the voiceover business! And with the changing nature of the biz, combined with the speed in which AI is joining the ranks, this studio session proves to be an interesting convo! Jeffrey and I discuss the current voiceover business - including differences between voice artists and actors (improv anyone?), why you and your voice need to stand out in every audition, understanding your voice print and your brand (helpful to know with new changes in technology!) plus the big question almost everyone asks: do I need an agent? And if you do - how does having a talent manager work for you? We also talk about Jeffrey's pre-talent agency days as the 'piano man' at the Ritz Carlton in the Big Apple! Bring along your headphones and voiceover ambitions and join us! About the Spotlight Conversations podcast: Tune in as I invite friends inside my cozy linoleum free recording studio to talk about all things media - radio, television, music, film, voiceovers, audiobooks, publishing - if guests are in the spotlight, we're talkin'! Refreshingly unscripted and unusually entertaining, listen in as each guest gets real about their careers in the entertainment biz, from where they started to how it's going.
