For my Senior Project, I decided to market myself as a voice actor and create voice over demos. My target audience are businesses that are looking for a voice actor with my unique talents. What I did was film in places that had a variety of animals. I then thought up and recorded captions of what they might say or what they might be thinking. Finally, I shared these videos across social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
In the beginning, I started to film in various locations and Yellowstone Bear World in Rexburg. After filming hundreds of videos, I filtered through them all to see what ones had the best quality. Then time was spent coming up with dialogue that best showcases my abilities. After videos were edited and scheduled for premiere dates, I spent time designing my official logo. One that would show in future projects and business cards. One of the final steps of my project was designing my personal website. A domain people can go to listen to my other projects, learn more about myself and contact me about auditions and job opportunities.

One thing I learned from this project is how quickly I was able to refine my editing process. With each new video I worked on, the more focused I became in being efficient in the editing process. One thing that I wish I could do differently was applying my branding logo at the end of my short form content with information about my website. I was only able to work on the website at the tail end of the project working period before the showcase.
I have the equipment and the space in which to work and a working website with contact details and work samples.
