As a guy who sometimes directs the voices for animated cartoons, I often speak to wanna-be voice actors. One thing I always suggest is that they go to the website of Neil Ross, listen to demos of his work and really, really understand that that level of performer is their competition. Neil has had a glorious career as a radio personality, promo announcer, cartoon voice actor, videogame thespian, awards show announcer, voiceover guy for commercials, etc.
Like anyone who directs anything, I have a little stable of performers I know I can always count on. They'll be there on time, they'll take direction, they'll do it as many times as I feel necessary, they won't complain if we have technical downtime…and they can do just about anything. Neil is not the only person I know who checks all those boxes but in twenty-or-so years, he has never let me down. Spend a little time over at his site playing demos and you'll understand why I consider him one of my not-so-secret secret weapons.
Or take a look at his IMDB page. They have 257 credits and that doesn't include radio, promos, commercials…it doesn't even include all the TV jobs he's done just for me. It might be about 2% of his career.
He has just published a book about his long, busy career. It's called Vocal Recall and it's invaluable for anyone who wants to understand what it's like to work in all the kinds of jobs to which Neil lends his expertise. It will also be of interest to animation fans who'd like to hear how a voice actor does what he or she does.
I could send you to Amazon to order a copy but I'm going to suggest going to this page where you can order a paperback copy, a Kindle copy, a PDF copy or — most intriguing — an audio MP3 where Neil reads the book and performs many of his voices. Or if you pick up a copy somewhere else, you can order a signed bookplate. Anyway, that's my recommendation. Do with it as you will.
