Once I was the unfortunate victim of identity theft. <\/p>\n
The creeps opened a bunch of AT&T mobile accounts in my name and then had the unmitigated gall to not pay the bill.<\/p>\n
I discovered the problem when the automated collection calls started coming\u2026 in my voice.<\/p>\n
Yes, I was the automated voice of the AT&T call center and I gave myself lots of options, except there was no button to press for identity theft much less for a human being who could help.<\/p>\n
I hung up and tried again, and again and again, and eventually got a live representative.<\/p>\n
She made a note in my record to clear my name and gave me a list of places to call including the credit reporting agency.<\/p>\n
I called them and got…my voice.<\/p>\n
Welcome to the telephony voice over niche. It’s actually a great niche (this unfortunate incident aside), and I’ve built a long and profitable career out of serving these customers. <\/p>\n
So how do you get started? What does it take to be a great telephony voice?<\/p>\n
That’s the subject of this week’s Inside Voice Over training video. <\/p>\n
