general information about the industry and what is needed to start quickly in the
voice over industry. The next 20 minutes is spent on fielding questions from those

the professionals. The "Beginner's One Time" conference is open to you for a $79.95

The Voice Over Industry "Series" Conference
The other toll-free conference call is for the more seriously interested in the
voice over industry. This is a "series" of conferences, each 30 minutes in length,
which happen twice monthly over the course of 3 months. You will get a
complimentary copy of the "I wanna be a voice over mini-manual" if you pay in

how to set up your studio, voice over etiquette, jargon terms to know when dealing
with clients directly, voice coaching, voice over assignments, and later in the
series, marketing your services as a voice over talent. If through out this
program, you are set up, working under the company requirements and "are in the
casting directors eyes", sell able to our client base, you will be contacted when D
talent are needed in casting. Our D class talent are amateur talent that we use
from time to time when a client does not have a very big budget for the project
they require us to cast for. This conference series can be billed in advance at

$69.95 per month. Once payment is made, you will receive the toll free number and

The Career in Voice Overs how-to guide, "I Wanna Be a Voice Over" Mini Manual
For those of you, who are not as serious about getting into the industry or not
wishing to invest much into your curiosity as of yet, we recommend the "I wanna be
a voice over" mini manual available for $15.95 we mention first on this page is
truly your best bet and offers a very short but extremely detailed text on what it
takes and what is actually needed to start a career in the voice over
business.
If you are interested in any of these services mentioned above, you may call
239-282-8488 (only Monday-Friday 9am to 5pm) with credit card information. Please
specify which service you'd like to purchase and make sure we have your email
address, name and phone number. Keep in mind, we are an extremely busy, working
casting company and have responsibilities to casting services to our clients and
must get our daily jobs done. We've only opened up the above services, because so
many beginners or novice talent have been flooding our phone lines and email
accounts with questions, which make it impossible to answer all requests for
information. So rather than ignore emails and abruptly trying to hang up the phone,
we have set this service up for you. It is this company's policy that "no one"
accepts amateur solicitations for information. Management, agents and all employees
will not answer questions or offer advice in relation to the business of voice
overs except through the services we mention above which we are now able to offer
you.
D Class Voice Over Talent Opportunities
If you are an amateur talent already set up, with a demo, and are ready to record
in your own studio or one you have access to on a daily basis, you must go through
the proper talent screening processes. To go through the proper channels of the
talent screening process, you may send your demo via mp3 to info@mktmania.com with
all your contact information. D class screening is available at a nominal
processing charge of $10. Once payment has been made at www.mktmania.com or by
calling 239-282-8488, the casting director will contact you on the following
business day with a list of the company's independent contractor requirements,
along with an audition to test your skill and hear the quality of audio your
recording studio delivers before accepting you into the D class talent pool. A, B,
and C class talent, there are no charges for screening. Definition of talent pool
classes: A talent are union scale or better talent, B talent are full time voice
over talent who are non-union, C class talent are radio and television broadcasters
who moon-light as voice over talent. D talent are amateurs or broadcasters who
sound like local small market talent. Simply submit your mp3 demo to
info@mktmania.com with all necessary contact information. Keep in mind if you have
the raw talent, motivation, follow through on instructions offered in the "series"
service, or are able to follow the company's policies and requirements for one of
our voice talent pools, you may be up and running as a D talent or better in no
time. From there, you can work your way to the A or B class, but that is entirely
up to you and your work ethic.
