In Part Two of our "Introduction to Voiceover Animation" series, understand what it takes to get signed and the benefits, non-union vs. union work and what you should do while awaiting talent representation with Vox, Inc. Talent Agent Micaela Hicks.

From Micaela...I’ve had the opportunity and privilege of working with and building relationships with top industry leaders throughout my career. I’ve established a strong reputation as a voice over agent amongst my peers, associates and other professionals in my field.

I began my career as a receptionist at SBV in October of 2000, became scheduler/booth director within a year and worked my way up to the animation agent’s assistant.

My next career move landed me at Solid Talent where I worked on multiple areas of voiceover including; commercial, animation and video games, which I built within the agency from the ground up.

I was then offered a position with Atlas Talent, where I worked in Commercial mostly, Political ads, sprinkled with animation, video games, promo and some trailers.

I’ve built my career by finding and developing actors who are fresh, funny and bring their own unique perspective to each audition and job. I’ve worked hard to get to know advertisement firms in Chicago, Minnesota, NY, San Francisco and LA... the list is long. I’ve had phone conferences, meetings, lunches and traveled to meet clients in different cities to ensure that I’m the one they call first, and my talent roster gets considered first for new campaigns and projects.
