I am interested in getting into voiceover work. Have done a few projects. Nothing major. narrated an independent documentary and some workshops. I have been told I need an agent. Anyone out there who can steer me in the right direction? I have a great voice.

If there is a samuel French bookstore near you, then pop in and ask them for agency resource books. The screen Actors Guild puts out a book that lists all the talent agencies and their specialties (Voice-Overs, Commercials, Theatrical, ect..). You should have a professional demo tape that does not exceed 4 or 5 minutes in length and shows your range of different characters reading "Copy". Most of the time you can contact a local radio station and ask them for "copy". If you tell them it is for a Voice-over demo reel, they will usually give it to you.
There are several schools and Private teachers in Los Angeles and New York, where you can study the art of Voice-Overs. These instructers are listed in Drama-Log and Backstage West.
I will tell you this, the Voice Over world is relatively small and there are not very many agents who specialize in it.
Good Luck!

Getting a career as a voice over artist can be quite a difficult thing, it’s true that there is a steady and consistent demand out there for voice over artist for a whole range of projects from movies and documentaries to cartoons and academic projects, but the fact of the matter is that you need some “in”, some way to get into the industry, and there are a few ways to do this. You can simply try and find work online, but this is often very competitive and difficult to actually ascertain, you can try and work personal connections and do local voice over work, or you can get a voice over agent to find you the best possible work. Voiceoveragent.net will help you to get you voice over agents that can find you the work you need and help you make a career out of being a voice over artist.

Since you have narrated a documentary, contact the production and ask them to refer you to a voiceover agent in your city.

Go to the Screen Actors website.
www.sag.com
They have lists of legit agents for different areas.
It's a matter of applying to ALL of them who do voice over in your area, and hoping one of them takes you.
It's a tough industry, as you well know.
Good Luck!
