J.S. Gilbert with David Rosenthal

No shy retiring wallflower, this man, J.S. Gilbert has strong opinions about the state of voiceover in today's technologically demanding world. You can find him on many of the LinkedIn VO groups speaking his mind, and in this interview we go over many of the essentials needed to give yourself a fighting chance in this highly competitive, sometimes cut-throat and way too often (these days) cut-rate business.

J.S. has been a VO actor as long as I have. He's also been a writer, producer and director of voiceover, which I have not. Because of his years in the business as well as the many hats he has worn (and still wears,) he has a lot of great stories to tell, as well as some very sensible and sobering advice for today's VO actors and VO hopefuls. Listen up!
