I did a fun interview with Voice Coaches the other day.   They are the organization where I received my training from.   While I have a long way to go in terms of reaching my utltimate goals of going full time as a voice actor, I’m getting closer all the time.  I’ve been blessed with lots of success in a reasonably short amount of time due partly to dedication and hard work, but from some great coaching and tips from pros in the voice over community and my friends at Voice Coaches.  The m...

Over the summer I worked on a book project called "Come Back, Como" by Steve Winn.  It's a funny story about a man's hilarious (and agonizing) quest to win the trust of a shelter dog that he and his family adopted.  It's a funny and touching story that is fun to read.

Since making the transition from radio announcing to voice acting I have found that there is an incredible amount of work available out there if you know where to look.  The issue is, there are also many other fine voice actors trying to get that work as well. 

It’s easy to get discouraged when you audition for hundreds of jobs with nothing to show for it.  However, I am thankful that my coaches at Voice Coaches taught me from the get go that you need to keep at it.  Many people drop out o...

Thanks to encouragement from a friend on this social site, I’m excited about launching a new web site a www.paulhernandezvoiceman.com.  I have found the voice over industry to be fun and challenging.  I have also found the pros in this industry to be not only professional, but kind and encouraging as well.  Thanks to all of you!

As I learn more and more about this industry and the craft, I realize that there is always something more to learn.  That to me is one of the things that makes thi...
