Dear Yahoo!:
How can I break into TV and commercial voice-overs?
Patrick

Dear Patrick:
Doing voice-overs, or announcing, is a very difficult field to crack. The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Outlook Handbook lists some facts you may want to consider before plunging down this career path:
Announcer jobs will continue to be hard to come by.
The best opportunities are at small-market stations that don’t pay well.
Employment is projected to decline.
Not to mention that not just any old bozo with a good voice can be an announcer. Employers actually expect candidates to have other abilities like excellent pronunciation, correct grammar, good timing, proper diction, and, of course, some experience.
So where do you get experience? Formal broadcast training from a college, tech school, or private broadcast school is valuable. A degree in communications, journalism, or broadcasting can also help.
If you do decide to take the plunge, consider starting in a small market. As you gain experience, you may find other opportunities in larger markets. An agent may also help your career advancement.
Oh, and a little luck wouldn’t hurt either.

Rule number one of robbing a convenience store is make sure the person behind the counter isnt a black belt. It also doesnt help when you let him take a picture of your car with his phone.

A guy orders everything on the menu at McDonald’s and they still ask him if he wants more. I’m pretty sure this is from an Australian show called The Chasers. They’re pretty funny send more clips of them!

This had bad idea written all over it from the start. Two sisters sit in the middle of a merry go round and some dude takes the back tire of his motorcycle and spins them.
