Press Release Summary = Voices.com has developed a new contest for voice actors,
talent agents, podcasters, broadcasters and audio producers to give their elevator
pitch.

Press Release Body = London, UK (Express Press Release) July 5 - When someone asks a
person what it is that they do regarding their profession, most can answer with a
quick and easy explanation of their position within an organization, but how does
one answer confidently if they are self-employed or small business owners in the
field of voice over? The Web will find out soon enough through the Voices.com 60
Second Pitch Contest that opens on Monday July 9th, 2007.

What is a 60 Second Pitch? For 60 seconds, participants be pitching their services,
letting everyone know who they are, what exactly it is that they do and how their
product or service can make a difference in the lives of other people and positively
affect how others do business. A 60 Second Pitch, also known as the \"Elevator
Pitch\" is a quick and precise verbal presentation of a need that people have and why
they should be fulfilling that need through the person who is pitching.

The name Elevator Pitch comes from the amount of time someone has to impress another
person on the way to the top floor when seeking out investment from venture
capitalists in ritzy metropolitan offices. Within that precious minute, a person
needs to not only convey who they are, what they do, and how their business is the
perfect fit for a market or niche, but the individual also needs to express that
information convincingly, intelligibly, and with passion while not appearing
blatantly salesy.

Communicating the message itself is a challenge let alone having to define
everything in the first place. Recognizing this as the case, Voices.com is offering
a webinar for those competing in the contest that will give them tips on how to
prepare, craft and present their pitch for consideration.

The contest is open to everyone in the voice over industry including voice actors,
voice over coaches, voice talent agents, audio producers and so on. Participants
can submit their MP3 pitches via email to Voices.com to enter the 60 Second Pitch
contest.

Winners will be announced on Friday July 27, 2007 via podcast on VOX Talk, the #1
voice over industry entertainment podcast presented by Voices.com.
