<p>Getting into the music industry can be a hard road to travel, but if you are a voiceover artist you may have the upper hand over your competition.</p>
<p>With the right talent, education, training and qualifications you can overcome your competitors and become a DJ for a radio station, a radio broadcaster, an announcer covering the news, provide the voice for advertisements or even get a coveted position hosting a music show on one of the biggie networks like MTV or CMT. It's advisable for all voice talents to have representation from an agent and retain the services of a reputable and well-known voice company to promote you.</p>
<p>Disc Jockey</p>
<p>It's true DJs play music, but they do a lot of voice work too; they report the news, sports, weather and talk about the community, do the voice-overs for commercials, and talk with guests. The job takes voice talent, wit and know-how. Most DJs have a background training in communications, broadcast journalism and have had coaching in public speaking, drama and voice. The job market for this type of work is highly competitive. Many DJs have representation like an agent or voice company where they post their profile and a voice sample. Bigger cities pay more than smaller ones. The pay ranges from the lowest paid 10%, who make less than $6.55 an hour, to the mid range paid from $8 to $19 an hour, and the top 10% being paid more than $32 an hour. Most DJs do the job for the love of it, not for the pay. </p>
<p>Radio and Television Broadcaster</p>
<p>The broadcasting industry consists of radio and television stations and networks. In the music industry, broadcasters work for radio stations and networks and television networks such as MTV, VH1 and CMT. They host video shows or report music industry news or have their own music related shows. This is another of those glamour jobs that attract a huge number of job seekers, so there is a lot of competition. The industry is looking for voice talents with a college degree in broadcasting, journalism or a related field and lots of voice training. Of course, big city jobs pay more than smaller town jobs. Reporters and correspondents average around $18.00 an hour. The higher profile the job--the higher the pay.</p>
<p>Announcer</p>
<p>Radio and television announcers perform a variety of jobs; they announce station program information, read public-service announcements and they introduce and close shows. They also read commercials and provide ad-lib commentary on air, interview guests and moderate panels. With competition for these jobs being so high, a well-rounded education is a must-have. A degree in communications, broadcasting or journalism and formal voice training is advised. The median salary for radio and television announcers averages around $13 an hour.</p>
<p>On-Air Voice Talent</p>
<p>Voice talents can provide services on the radio such as being a sidekick to a DJ on a radio show, providing the voice for advertisements, narrating projects such as music countdown shows and interviewing music performers. These jobs are tough to get and require, like most radio work, talent, skills, voice training and education. Education should be in communications, performing arts or journalism. The pay is the same as other radio jobs, ranging from $8 to $12 an hour with more popular talents making more.
