Many people tell me I have a great voice for radio, audio books, commercials etc. Is there a voice agent ?

I have a strong bass voice that people find soothing, and strong. I project very well during presentations. How can I capitalize on this for commercials, or other ways ? Is there such a thing as a voice agent ? How did the "You have mail" guy get that job ?

Answer:
Make a sample reel. Do straight up announcing type stuff and some character stuff (husband, boss, man on the street). Make sure they're audible and you're clear, coherent and enunciate. They don't have to be long. Heck, you could read the phone book as long as you make it interesting. Find a talent agent or SAG agent (Screen Actor Guild) online or in your local phone book and send them your reel with a cover letter of what you are trying to do (voice talent). If they're interested, they'll get in touch but be persistent. They get hundreds of request everyday. Good luck.
There's lots of voice agents, voice talent agencies and information on how to break into the biz
