Bill has been a voiceover actor/director for 35 years. He started referring to himself as The Voiceover Doctor because of the style of teaching that he has developed over the past 35 years.

Contracts? NDA’s? Liability? Many of us don’t understand the legal aspects to running a voice over business, or any business for that matter. However, we are all independent contractors and we want to protect ourselves from some of the legal pitfalls we can encounter.
