Comedians Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld never thought anyone would watch their silly little sitcom about a New York comedian sitting around talking to his friends. NBC executives didn't think anyone would watch either, but they bought it anyway, hiding it away in the TV dead zone of summer. But against all odds, viewers began to watch, first a few and then many, until nine years later nearly 40 million Americans were tuning in weekly.

I just listened to Rodney Saulsberry’s audiobook,” You Can Bank on Your Voice”. Needless to say, it is filled with a bounty of invaluable information and insight into the world of voice over. I believe this book offers information beneficial to beginning voice-over actors as well as seasoned pros. It also identifies what’s needed in one’s voice-over tool kit to be a successful voice-over actor.I cannot end this review without mentioning how Mr. Saulsberry uses his smooth, velvety, baritone voice to make listening to his book engaging, interesting, and entertaining—storytelling at its best. His performance demonstrates how to do an audiobook.

Very educational, Inspiring, and Fun
The paperback is great, and this audio version is even better! Read by the author with examples of scripts so you can hear his interpretation and wisdom. I especially enjoyed the sound effects of the city traffic, for example, as you are transported into his world and experiences, which are nothing short of inspirational. It's like having a class I can take with me! Love it! Thank you Rodney Saulsberry for your contribution.

Rodney Saulsberry is the ultimate professional
What did you love best about You Can Bank on Your Voice?
It's a book that you can, and should, refer too often to help improve your craft.
What was one of the most memorable moments of You Can Bank on Your Voice?
Smiling at myself when doing some of the tongue twisters...but when he said one of the best warm-ups was to "yawn"...well, that's my favorite!
What does Rodney Saulsberry bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I've read and listened to the book and both are invaluable. But in the audio you hear his passion for the craft.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Too many to list, really. It just moves you enough to want to hear it again.
Any additional comments?
Anybody who is in voice over, public speaking, broadcast, or anything that requires the spoken word will absolutely benefit from this great book.

Very Informative
I really liked the read it was great information to take with me as I give it my try at cracking through the voice over industry. I have already taken classes but now that I am catching some traction and wanting to further a career with voice over I want to know as much as possible about it. Mr. Saulsberry does a great job at explaining the business of voice over and what you could do NOW.
