  <title>SFV #009: A Producer's Journey to Being a Voice Over Artist</title>
  <description>Roger Leopardi started out in the music business. He and his brother were recording artists known as MVP with a popular single in 1991 called Do It To Me. Because of contracts and bad management, MVP didn't end up taking off.&amp;amp;nbsp;&#13;
As Roger was leaving the music business he met his wife and decided to get a &amp;quot;regular&amp;quot; job. He worked in retail for years but always wanted to work for himself. When he decided he could not work retail ever again, a customer who Roger had always helped with programs like Pro Tools came back into his store and Roger asked him, &amp;quot;How come you've never asked me if I wanted a job?&amp;quot; He got an interview with an ad agency the next day.&amp;amp;nbsp;&#13;
Roger began his career producing commercials at this ad agency in Fort Lauderdale. He learned the environment and increased their productivity, making 30 - 50 commercials per day. There were about three voice over actors that he worked with on a daily basis. He built relationships with the them and eventually the voice actors started to tell him that he had a good voice that was popular right now.&amp;amp;nbsp;&#13;
With this encouragement and the need for growth, Roger told his bosses that he was never going to be satisfied. They never had to pay him a dime over what he was making at that moment, as long as they gave him the flexibility to pursue his voice over career.&amp;amp;nbsp;&#13;
Years later, Roger now lives in Los Angeles as a successful voice over artist.&amp;amp;nbsp;&#13;
