sprecher voice over ansager american amerikanischer voice over announcer narrator
Guten Tag! and thank you for landing at my Germany page! I live in Arizona in the United States as an American.
I moved there from Baltimore, MD, in 1991 and since then, I've been involved in the media and broadcasting industry in one form or
another. Those experiences include working at radio stations, being a narrator, a voice overtalent, an announcer ( ansager ) for many
different live events, a television spokesperson ( sprecher ), working in film, and even being a newspaper journalist! It was
there in Arizona that I met my beautiful wife, who hails from Europe.
For quite some time, she has pushed to get me to advertise
overseas, so here we are! Have I been across the Atlantic to Deutschland? Not yet, but I've been close! We have relatives
in Germany and I've seen many photos/videos ... it looks beautiful and I can't wait to visit one day. I've been to parts
of Europe already and I love the history, the countryside, the hustle and bustle of the cities, the variety of cuisines, proximity
to other nations/cultures and most of all, the people.
So, are you curious about voice-over ( sprecher ) and voiceover (
ansager ) work? It may sound tough, but for me, an American, it was very simple, and it can be for you too. The main thing
is practice, practice, practice. There are millions of people out there with a great voice and even if yours isn't, you can still
be a great talent. It's not the quality of your voice, per se, but rather the quality of your delivery and your ability to deliver
different styles. But don't fool yourself into thinking it happens overnight. It doesn't. The truth is that it usually takes several
years to build up enough of a clientelle and track record to be able to call yourself a "talent" ( or sprecher or ansager ) It
also takes one hell of a lot of marketing and promoting yourself. As far as the equipment, you can build your own basic home studio,
with everything you need, for as little as $2,000 (U.S. dollars). If you're looking to break in to the industry, good luck!
You can do it. Just remember ... pracftice, practice, practice!
