    Voice Over jobs
    I have a son that can impersonate just about anyone. He does it just for fun. People think he is so good they have suggested looking for jobs that are Voice Overs. How would you go about doing this?

    Hi, badeau!

    You would look for a talent agent, scout or producer and see if they would have any leads as to where he could audition.

    Thanks!

    He needs to get an agent. I'm sure in NC there would be plenty of regional work for him. Good luck.

    [CLIFF DIBBENS] male, 35-50, attorney representing Ronny Addison. Addison has been
    Charged with kidnapping and murder. Addisonís scheme to extort money from wealthy
    Businessman Andrew Gardner was done for a noble cause - to benefit a group home for
    Rehabilitating teenaged juvenile offenders. Dibbens has a very sympathetic defendant
    And a vilified victim in CEO Andrew Gardner. It is difficult to predict how the jury will react
    And that makes for a very interesting case. LEAD
    [CARLOS PADILLA] male, 15, Hispanic or Black, street, Harlem resident, living at a
    Group home for teens, his mother is in jail. He has a record ñ nothing serious just
    Truancy, fare beating, and vandalism. He talks tough and does not shy away from adults

    May be involved along with the leader of the group home, Ronny Anderson. LEAD

    dog". Ronny runs a home in Manhattan for teenage boys who are recently released

    Heart and soul into helping these kids rebuild their lives and stay on the right side of the
    Law. He works tirelessly soliciting donations and has promised them improved housing,
    More supplies and better days to come. When the bottom drops out of the economy and
