Andy Field<\/strong>, a teacher at Oxford Middle School<\/strong>, resigned from teaching in May to pursue his dream of becoming a full-time voice actor.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Field, who has taught in Oxford<\/strong> for five years, has been a part-time voice actor for three years.\u00a0 He had a professional studio built, and also built a large enough client list, he says, to go full-time. \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI have some agents and some big clients, but I really just needed the time during the day to find more work, and my teaching job was slowing that down,\u201d Field says. \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Although he\u2019s recorded national TV commercials for Virgin Mobile<\/strong>, Walmart<\/strong>, and Homewood Suites<\/strong>, and is a major voice in the wildly popular horror video game Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s: Sister Location<\/strong>, Field says the bulk of his business is much less glamorous.\u00a0 He\u2019s recorded local radio commercials, corporate narrations, real estate tours, YouTube<\/strong> videos, on-hold phone messages, documentaries, audiobooks, and much more.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But his eye, he says, is on the booming e-learning market. \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cEvery business out there, from the local ones to the Fortune 500, is doing e-learning these days,\u201d Field says.\u00a0 \u201cE-Learning should grow into a $350 billion industry in the next 10 years.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Field says small business owners are often reluctant to contact him because of his national-level credits, but they shouldn\u2019t be.\u00a0 \u201cThere\u2019s big bucks in the big jobs,\u201d he says, \u201cbut the little jobs add up, too.\u00a0 I\u2019m not too big to record a local commercial or a phone message.\u00a0 And every business, no matter how small, needs a video presence online, and a voiceover makes all the difference.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
