Plant the seed to become a global online voice actor! This book is broken down into easy to read chapters that motivate you to learn more about voice-over and how to make it a full-time job. From acting behind the mic to networking your demos on a global scale- it’s all in there, jam packed with gardening goodness with the seeds for you to create your own abundant Voice Over Garden. Voice Over Garden originated from learning modules I put together for my voice-over students that I was coaching. Instead of rambling on and on and wasting their precious time I decided to create modules that they could read at home on their own and give them a bit of homework to go with it. When they would come in for the next lesson they were well-prepared and focused and, most importantly, productive. They would ask, “when is the next chapter coming out?” I just shook my head. “They’re learning modules, not chapters.” “But it reads like a book!”, they would say. This made me wonder. Was I in process of writing a book without even knowing it?! Yup, I was. And, yup, this is what came out of it. Voice Over Garden is broken down into four parts. Part I: Basic Botany is dedicated to planting the seeds to cultivate voice acting skills and creating a professional demo organically. Part II: Gardening Greenbacks gives you an inside scoop on the business side of things. Think of it like this, sending out your demo is like sending a flower arrangement out into the world from your Voice Over Garden. Part III: Advanced Abundance gives you the gardening tools to create a website and brand, the basics on home studio set up, and how to really go global. Part IV: Radical Revenue helps you keep your Voice over Garden prosperous for years to come with a fun and interactive money management system specifically designed for voice-over artists. So no matter where you are in your voice-over career, Voice Over Garden has got something to offer you. Pick up your copy today and you also get 2 FREE gifts. The Voice Over Garden Workbook gives you a working model to chart your research and knowledge with while reading the ebook and also you get 25 MP3s of breathing and speech exercises to help you warm up for a full day of voicing behind the mic.

Jonathan Tilley received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theater from Ithaca College after blasting through the intense 4 year program in only 3 while simultaneously receiving a minor in Dance at Cornell University. This extensive acting, singing and dance training prepared him well for his move to New York City the day after graduation where he broke out into NYC dance scene performing in multiple award-winning dance companies and in the movie “Center Stage” filmed at the Lincoln Center. Throughout his musical career Jonathan could be seen in blockbuster musicals like “CATS”, “Mamma Mia!”, “42nd Street”, and “A Chorus Line” all over the world and was honored to be an Assistant Associate Choreographer for the German and Russian productions of “Mamma Mia!”. But as all dancer's careers come to an end due to age and physical stamina, Jonathan transitioned from over 20 years of dancing and choreographing professionally to using his other skills that were put on hold: Acting and Voice. This choice to use his other performance skills paved the way to a prosperous second career as a voice-over artist and coach. Since 2002 he's voiced thousands of corporate narrations, image films, and business presentations for companies like Mercedes-Benz, Daimler, KIA, FujiFilm, Porsche, IBM, Siemens, Philips, BASF and also voiced commercials for Sprite, Google, Red Bull, Nivea and many more. While some have said he has a “gorgeous voice” and “a huge artistic and vocal range” others have said he “strikes the balance of having fun and getting the job done” and that there is “no better alternative”. When not in a sound proof studio working behind the microphone for international clients he shares his knowledge and life experience coaching other voice-over artists and public speakers. Jonathan brings out the authentic voice of every student he works with by discovering their unique strengths and abilities and encourages them to also share their voice with the world. This inspired Jonathan to start writing about the tools that helped him reach and maintain abundance as a voice-over artist. And in turn, "Voice Over Garden: How To Create Abundance As A Global Online Voice Actor" is the fruit of his joyous labor.
