...If you've ever read anything about working professionally in voice-over, then a lot of the information in Clark's book will be a review for you, but that isn't a bad thing - fundamentals are always important to remember, no matter the topic, and the way Clark breaks down each aspect of the field makes it simple to learn even if you're just skimming through instead of properly reading it.

Where this book truly shines is that it is so comprehensive as to include a variety of detailed copy samples for the reader to practice the concepts and tips Clark discusses...

...In addition to sample copy and her own professional insights, Clark includes interviews with other successful voice-over professionals, such as Hal Riney (member of the Advertising Hall of Fame) and Ned Lott (who has worked on features for Disney, Pixar, Universal, etc.)...

...She also discusses marketing strategy and the union more in-depth than many other sources I've looked over.

There is honestly not much more to be said, apart from the bottom line that There's Money Where Your Mouth Is is a truly comprehensive and invaluable resource for beginners to the field of voice-over work, and I highly recommend it. In fact, if voice-over classes or workshops assign reference material, I think this would (or should) probably be at the top of the required/recommended reading lists.
