Listen Later

Chuck and Stacey keep the amazing information and inspiration coming in
Part 2 with respected Commercial Voiceover agent, Sumeet Iyengar, of
CESD Talent in Los Angeles. Chuck and Stacey express huge thanks and
appreciation for their VO Buzz Weekly team Matthew Gordon, Paz
Fashingbauer and Jeff Castelluccio for their continued contribution and
loyalty to the show.


Sumeet talks about CESD Talent’s process for
signing a client, reasons why clients are asked to leave the agency and
his definition of the ideal client/agent relationship. He answers a few
viewer questions about agency referrals and how he likes clients to
handle when they get the same copy from different agents.


He
speaks to some common missteps talent make in their audition reads like
focusing too much on the sound and why it’s challenging for actors to be
real when they get in front of a microphone. He offers some valuable
tips for self-direction from making strong choices to not doing too many
takes.


Sumeet speaks to some of the changes he’s seen in the
industry over the years and answers what the most gratifying things are
for him as an agent. Find out how CESD Talent stays on top of the trends
and changes with respect to online advertising, digital presence and
social media influencers.


Sumeet gives sound advice to help
people realize their voiceover dreams like taking classes and having a
demo that reflects your true essence. Chuck and Stacey express their
gratitude to Sumeet for his generosity, honesty, integrity and
friendship. Be sure to follow Sumeet on Twitter @SUMEETatCESD
