About the Author:

He's also written, produced, directed and acted in many commercials himself, getting a look at the process from every perspective.

He, his wife Carol and 5 cats live on Whidbey Island in the state of Washington.

Review:

There's relatively little information available on this form of making money, so Douthitt's title is especially valuable to any who have heard about voice-over potentials. Tom Wiecks edits a fine guide which covers not only money-making potentials, but the mechanics of how voice-over operates. From assessing one's competitive advantages to handling initial sessions, this provides a clear guide to voice-over's pros and cons. -- Midwest Book Review
