Voice Over Expert Connie Terwilliger
Connie Terwilliger is one of the most well known names on the Internet when it comes to female voice talent. She’s been online with an Internet presence since 1996. Connie did her first official voiceover work on air at KCOE-FM while in college in Cedar Rapids Iowa in 1972. After getting her Masters in Radio and TV at Indiana University, she started a long career juggling many hats – Producer, Writer, On and Off-camera talent. Over the past several years Connie has been able to “retire” as a Producer and Writer and concentrate on full-time voice work for clients around the world out of her home studio and the studios in San Diego and Orange County. She teaches one class a semester - Acting for Radio/Voiceovers - at San Diego City College.
Her session on Self-Evaluation presented at VOICE 2007 was well received and has led to invitations to speak at media performance schools across the country. She is also the immediate past President of Media Communications Association-International – MCA-I, a networking and professional development group for media communicators that she joined back when she was producing.

At the risk of sounding like I'm "kissing up to folks" (though there would be no benefit in doing so that I am aware of), I want to boldly state that Voiceover Experts is one of the most important resources for voice actors on the internet today.
Getting "real-world" instruction and insight from working professionals at the click of a mouse is truly impressive. I have yet to come away from any of these installments empty handed.
Here's what I find to be true regarding Voiceover Experts:
-The beginner hits a GUSHER.
-The intermediate bathes in the joy of an abundance of bite-size nuggets that fit so nicely in the mouth of the lesser experienced.
-The professional always walks away with "sticky notes" to remind & challenge them in any number of areas.
I so appreciate the time and effort put forth in bringing these valuable resources to my desktop!

Connie,
Very much enjoyed your presentation!! You did a great job demystifying self analysis. This is particularly a huge help to all of those who are self-producing professional material. As a producer, I am certainly a fan of having a producer in a session, but, on the other hand, i recognize the vast range of opportunity out there for self produced VO.
Fortunately David and Stephanie do a great job making the process easy for both Voice Actors and the entities who hire them.
Keep up the tremendous work!!
Best Regards
David at Voice Coaches

Great podcast,
If you put the time in to know yourself, and to find out who wants to buy what you're offering, you HAVE a market. Sometimes less is more effective, isn't it?
Thanks again for this awesome piece.

Thanks, Connie! It's always hardest for us to be objective about our own work - but something we must do. Melanie
