Voice Actors are sometimes the unsung heroes of the advertisement and entertainment industry.
When you hear a voice over in a TV commercial or the radio and a somebody is telling you to buy this product, that is a real person; and probably you have heard his\her voice in another commercial, TV spot, movie preview or while picking up your friend at the airport, you know: "The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only, no parking".
That is somebody's voice!
This panel showcases real professionals of the industry and they show us their techniques, tricks and how they got their first job.
