Living "abroad"? In this group share your experiences, challenges, and successes in being a foreigner voicing your mother tongue.
Welcome!
I'm British, living in Istanbul, Turkey, where I started my life as a VO artist...
This group is especially for those who have found a new home country which may or may not share your mother tongue. How has being "the foreigner" affected, assisted, frustrated, motivated, etc... you?
What is your experience of VO in an international market.... all those questions: how, what, why, who, and perhaps which... would love to hear your thoughts.

Suggest you have one of your people join Voices.com or Voice 123 so you can get some direct producers who need Chinese or genuine Mandarin accents in English - I noticed that Voices.com has many producers asking for this - good luck!
As a voice/producer in Asia - I have found SKYPE and PAYPAL to be my very best friends. With Skype - I can advertise my phone number with a USA area code! That way I can avoid the psychological disadvantage of being outside the US. Many voice seekers would never give me a try if they knew I was in Asia.
With PayPal, again it just makes things easy! Once my bank account was verified by PayPal - AND I explained to them the type of service I offered - payment has never been easier.

I purposely leave the issue of where I live kind of nebulous - because much of my biz comes from the USA - and there is a psychological disadvantage to living ANYWHERE outside the USA when work comes from there. I even maintain a California number that rings my celphone here in the Philippines! I've been living abroad for more than 15 years - you can find out a bit more by going either to voices.com - or www.graysvoice.com --
As a Brit - you may not find this a problem, but my California number has served me well - as I'm constantly being called at 3am from people in New York who think they're calling someone at like Noon in California. Makes for less sleep - but more biz!
