As voice over students, we are all familiar with the feeling of working on copy that is only for our own practice, even if that copy was (or is) real copy for publication in one form or another.

Here are some links to a couple news sites that I found a lot of interesting info on.
VoiceChasers and

I just added a link to a good voice over article at the Lowry Agency, now I am adding a link to the blog itself.

Added a new link to Voice Talent Productions. This is a fun blog that has articles that will be helpful to voiceover students, but even more, it is a slice of voiceover life. News, people, conferences, and just interesting observations on all sorts of things from professional voice actors. If you want to live the life, you oughta audit it a little first; and this is a good place to start.
Added a link to Bill Pryce’s blog. Bill has a great blog which often has instructional posts that will be of interest to students, as well as just having a bunch of interesting posts on Voice Actors and VA life in general. Go there! You’ll like it!
