THE ART & BUSINESS OF VOICE OVERS
Have you been curious about a career in voice overs? Many
industry myths will be debunked in the course of this forum. Whether
you are interested in Animation, Book-on-Tape, Commercial, Narration
or Promo, you'll won't want to miss this.
KERI TOMBAZIAN
As one of the top-booking women in voice-overs, KERI
TOMBAZIAN is currently the voice of Hamburger Helper, Penzoil,
is heard narrating dozens of E! True Hollywood Stories, has long
been the fast-talking-legal-voice of Infiniti to name a few. Jeff
Danis of International Creative Management has taken her from working-class
actress and dj to one of the top female voice artists in the country.
At the young age of 18, Keri started as a DJ on KGIL in her hometown
of Southern California and built the foundation of what would become
a long-standing relationship with her listeners. She’s been
a personality at K-EARTH, KMPC Talk Radio, and most notably one
of the original on-air personalities on the #1 Smooth Jazz station
in the nation: KTWV The Wave. She is in demand as an on-stage
host at top concerts and events. A familiar personality
to locals, a nationally known commercial actress, and now a working
wife and mother, Keri is lives the concerns of a target demographic
in Southern California.
JAMES ARNOLD TAYLOR
Born and raised in Santa Barbara, JAMES ARNOLD TAYLOR began
his career at the age of 16 as a stand-up comic. His voice,
along with his many original characters and impressions, can be
heard all over the country on a daily basis on radio, television,
video games, telephone services, even at amusement parks. James
has produced in excess of 7000 comedy bits for the Premiere Radio
Networks’ syndicated comedy services, which play on morning
show radio. He is also one of the promo voices for Fox, and
has worked for ABC, CBS, and NBC; voice-doubled for stars such as
Michael J. Fox, Christopher Walken, Paul Reiser, Nicolas Cage, and
Billy Bob Thornton, to name a few; been the announcer of major campaigns
for McDonalds, Disney, Progressive Auto Insurance, and the national
phone service AOL MovieFone; and starred in feature animated films
and television shows for Disney, Nickelodeon, Warner Bros., and
more. Over the last few years, James has found great success
in voicing video games. He has done numerous titles including
Enter the Matrix, Monsters, Inc., Lord of the Rings, The Fast and
the Furious, Ratchet and Clank 2, and the widely popular Final Fantasy
X.
MODERATOR
Leading the discussion will be MAC HEALD who, by
his own admission, has recorded too many times such cheesy commercial
copy as, “… but wait, there’s more! If you call
now, you’ll also receive ….” While still engaged
as voice talent for several non-profit and para-church organizations
(including World Vision, Samaritan’s Purse, World Evangelism,
and The Christian Association of PrimeTimers), Mac is primarily
a writer of scripts for live events, broadcast promotions and public
service spots. He has written 15 hours of television documentaries
on biblical subjects, and has hosted the documentary series “The
Quest,” filmed on location in the Middle East. He is heard
as the narrator on a TV biography special on Michael Chang, and
in many of the concerts sponsored by World Vision, Mac narrates
documentary-style vignettes that are shown to engage the audience
to become child sponsors. He is an elder of Hollywood Presbyterian
Church and serves as chair of the Entertainment Ministries Board
that oversees Inter-Mission, Actors Co-op, Hollywood Prayer Network
and Hollywood 101.
