It was an absolute pleasure to speak with Chad Letts, voice actor and one of our awesome coaches at TVAS. At 19 years old Chad started out in radio as a DJ in various genres in California and Nevada. His first voice over gig was at age 17, voicing a character in a video game called Lunar. Chad moved to Las Vegas July 15, 2010 and was introduced to Melissa Moats. After booking jobs for a while, he began noticing how he booked certain jobs but not others. This issue was resolved after taking Troy Moats Business and Marketing class. Chad feels this class helped turn his career around. Another class that had a huge impact on his career was when TVAS had a representative from Cope Management listen to students read. It was Chad’s first time reading for a representative from the “LA World”. This resulted in Debbie Cope becoming his manager. Chad’s voice over business is currently 80% commercial work and some dabbling in TV promos. He would like to add history narration in the future. One of Chad’s biggest rewards of being a voice over actor happened when he was out with his buddies and one of his commercials appeared on the big screen during the game!! Perfect timing!! Chad has a side talent he would like to share with us: making balloon animals, a talent he learned in middle school. Give him an air pump and some balloons and he can whip into shape anything from a wiener dog to a pirates’ sword. It was an honor Chad, thanks so much for your time and for sharing your expertise.
