We'll be composing our first outreach email to a voiceover lead, using all of the techniques covered - and including an email signature if possible!

The Project

Draft your introductory email of no more than 150 words, where you are reaching out to the 'fantasy' lead, Mr V Productions. Either make up or find an example work that you can succinctly compliment him on, and then offer your services.

To keep things simple:

Once you've composed the email - either in a document or email - then take a screenshot of it and upload it in this section to receive some feedback.

Do feel free to mock-up some form of email signature as well - via canva, Photoshop etc. Even if it's just a 'rough around the edges' draft, it will be an important first step for you in thinking about your brand, and something else I can feedback on.

We're not interested in polished quality here. We're looking to make a start, and then learn how we can refine it!

About Me:

I am an award-winning voice actor who has been working fulltime in VO for over four years. I have voiced projects for major clients such as BMW, Microsoft, Manchester United FC, Warner Bros and Pepsi. You can see more on my website: https://www.naturallyrp.co.uk/

I originally trained as an actor at one of the UK's most prestigious drama schools, the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. Since then I have continued my lifelong learning through voiceover coaching with Nancy Wolfson (commercial), Sean Pratt (narration), Dave Fennoy & Tom Keegan (video games).

If there's a course about voiceover marketing - bad or good - I've probably taken it. Hence why I thought it much better to distill all the advice I've received here.
