Voice work?

Question

I am 53 years of age. I have been doing voice and speech training for the last 25 years.
I believe my voice is very good now. I still have a mild european accent. I would like to try voice overs and audio books reading.
Where should I start? Is it O.K if I send an audio tape to an agent? How long my demo should be?

You might want to start by checking the various voiceover job boards:

You can also check about getting an agent:

The agencies can inform you as to the ideal length of demo.

Hope this helps!
