In Part 1 on websites and voice over, Top voice talent, Bob Bergen talks about why a website is important for a voice over career and who in the industry looks at them.

Here are his thoughts on the impact of a website on the voice over career:

TJP: How has your website impacted your career?

BB: I’ve been able to secure agents throughout the country by marketing my career via my website. I’ve also booked more jobs than I can count from buyers surfing my site. And it’s been ideal in marketing my animation voice-over workshops.

TJP: Any tips?

BB: I think it’s important that the site be as use friendly as possible. For a voice actor, have everything VO related on the home page. The fewer clicks for the user the better. Demos, agent contacts, bio, resume, etc., should all be one click away from the home page. Branding is important. Websites aren’t nearly as expensive as they use to be. Your website should reflect your marketing. Your brand, be it your demo or your website, should be established immediately. Your website brand should be as unique and individual as you. Your site should load fast and look clean and obvious to navigate.
