"The Art of Voice Acting written by James Alburger is a detailed guide about becoming a successful voice-over actor. If you have ever had to narrate a video, this is a good book for you to investigate." - Videomaker, November 1999
"I have spent many hours the past few weeks with your book, The Art of Voice Acting, and would like to thank you for a succinct eye-opening lesson . . .your book goes a long way to explaining the ins and outs and just how important it is not to lose sight of your goals. I have a very strong old-time booming announcer's voice that your book is teaching me how to tame. I just wanted to say thanks from a virtual beginner who is very excited to begin. The book is "Terrrrific." - Dick Gould, 2000 --

CHOICE
Bought your book, The Art of Voiceacting. I cannot tell you how much it is helping me. The CD is terrific! It is impossible for me to go to your classes, because I live in the Northwest, but I think I have improved 1000% since getting your book! I bought a couple of other books before I bought yours and they just skipped a lot of steps.
Sharon Mannix Pacific Northwest (April 2005)
Reader Reviews
This review is from: The Art of Voice Acting: The Craft and Business of Performing for Voice-Over, Second Edition (Paperback)
This book is a great start to actually using your voice for voice acting. It teaches you how to hone your voice into a finely-tuned instrument as well as dealing with the ins and outs of the trade. The only thing I found annoying was the author's insistence on taking classes. He introduces the idea early but then never lets up! He is always stressing to the reader to "...take classes." I think that this idea is a sound one but the author needn't waste ink or precious space to constantly remind the reader of what he stated fourteen other times! Other than this, it's a pretty good book for those getting into voice overs/acting. Oh and by the way: take a class...just kidding...
