BUFFALO, New York, May 5, 2009 - - The Voice Over Entrance Exam, a free e-book for newcomers to the voice over industry, was released on the web today, (www.voiceoverentranceexam.com). The free e-book was written by Peter K. O'Connell, a professional voice talent since 1982 who serves as president of audio'connell voice over talent and is owner of Voice Over Workshop.

The e-book promises to help prospective voice over talents take a hard look at what they really need to think about if they want to work full time or even part time as a professional voice talent. The Voice Over Entrance Exam covers topics like getting a professional talent assessment, handling rejection, how to seek professional training and how to manage the business of voice over.

"I have witnessed first hand the pitfalls of the voiceover novice who jumps headfirst into the industry - totally unprepared - only to meet with complete indifference from potential customers and the voiceover community," O'Connell said. "This e-book gives them the right advice to consider before they spend a nickel on equipment or marketing and since the book is free, so is the advice," O'Connell noted.
