Not many web sites can help you become a better announcer. That is something you have to do for yourself with the help of others. However, there is one web site you might want to check out as you start to work on your voice and get your first air shift on a radio station. Day O'Day is a noted programming consultant and that web site contains several articles on announcing practices and procedures. The site, www.danoday.com, also serves as a good resource for books and tapes.

You also might want to look at some of the nationally ranked voice talent web sites. Do a search and see what you can find out about Don LaFontaine, Vanessa Marshall, or Randy Thomas. To look at one of the unique freelance announcer sites, visit www.voicehunter.com. By the way, do you know who has the most easily recognized voice in the world? Actor James Earl Jones holds that honor from all those years of "This is CNN."
