Artist - 005","description":"Charlie McWade is a voice over artist who graduated NYU in 1996 with a BFA in drama from Tisch School of the Arts. Since then, he has worked in television, film and theater. I can tell you that all these years later, when we have gone out for a drink or a slice of pizza, he still has been recognized for his memorable role in the cinematic cult hit ‘Road Trip’ produced by Dreamworks and directed by Todd Phillips. But for the last 15 years, Charlie’s focus has been on voice over work. He has recorded over a thousand TV and Radio spots, lent his voice to several animated series and videogames including the Grand Theft Auto franchise, and has narrated seven full length audiobooks. You can also often hear Charlie’s voice on Nickelodeon. \r\nNotes from the show:\r\nCharlie first discovered acting at Buck's Rock Camp in New Milford, CT.\r\nHe breaks down the different departments of an agency and the subdivisions of types of voice overs themselves.\r\nCollege provided excellent education but did not prepare him for the professional world.\r\nHe fell into voice overs by accident.\r\nHe recommends taking classes with casting directors. Two of the top casting directors he mentions are Stacey Seidel and Lisa Fischoff at Broadcasters.\r\nWe discussed Stephen Colbert's performance of "What a to do to die today" during a  commencement speech.\r\nHe recommends Steve Martin's "Born Standing Up" for creative inspiration.\r\nHis mentor in the Sanford Meisner technique is Terry Knickerbocker.\r\nHe advises diversifying value, creating multiple streams of revenue to deal with the instability of the industry.\r\nTo succeed in voice over work, you need to maintain "The Ease."\r\nNo performer should be content with his\/her technique.\r\nReinvention comes from getting pushed out of your comfort zone.\r\nVoice over work doesn't lend itself to having a daily routine.\r\nWe discussed his FOMO (fear of missing out), and how a voice over artist needs to have a willingness to have a wrench thrown into the gears.\r\nThis podcast hosted by New York attorney Michael Prywes was sponsored by Prywes Schwartz, PLLC, a law firm devoted to artists and entrepreneurs.\r\nThis podcast may contain attorney advertising.
