MTI: Now
Move Touch Inspire The Newsletter for Voice ActorsSeptember 11, 2025 An Idea To Move You "One day" is bullshit. That thing you've been thinking about. Putting off. Dreaming of. Wondering about. That excites you. Gets your heart racing a little. Where your mind goes when it wanders. And you say to yourself, "One day..." Do you have any idea how short this life is? There's no time to wait. Do it now. Start it now. Take one step. Now. A Thought to Touch You* "My parents were told that I probably...
MTI: Unapologetic
Move Touch Inspire The Newsletter for Voice ActorsSeptember 4, 2025 An Idea To Move You The best advice I have for voice actors is also the best life advice I have for anyone: Be who you are.

Left-handed? Rugged? Uncommonly tall? Atheist? Non-athletic? Nerdy? An introvert? An extrovert? An...
MTI: Co-Creation
Move Touch Inspire The Newsletter for Voice ActorsAugust 28, 2025 An Idea To Move You What if you didn't try to do it all on your own. What if you didn't have to re-invent the wheel. What if you could lean on others a little more. Not in dependency way, but in a collaborative counsel with others way.What if you conspired with the world to co-create your life and your business?

MTI: (Corrected Headline - my apologies!) Why & Numbers
Move Touch Inspire The Newsletter for Voice ActorsAugust 22, 2025 An Idea To Move You Don't do this for the money. Voiceover is not a quick fix. It's not a get rich quick scheme. It's not a financial savior. It takes a prodigious amount of artistic training, learning the audio tech, learning the business side, treating your recording space. And you have to be good at all of it to compete. Do it because you absolutely love it. Because that's the only why strong enough to get you through. A...
MTI: Branding & Business
Move Touch Inspire The Newsletter for Voice ActorsAugust 14, 2025 An Idea To Move You You can have the best reads in the business, but if nobody knows you exist, you’re invisible. Talent and skill are table stakes. The real game is building a brand that sticks, marketing with intent, and treating your VO hustle like a business, because it is. If you’re tired of spinning your wheels, stop hiding behind the mic and start showing up as the CEO of your own career. What’s one bold move you can...
MTI: Heard & Hired
Move Touch Inspire The Newsletter for Voice ActorsAugust 7, 2025 An Idea To Move You In this business, invisibility is the enemy. If you’re hiding behind generic demos or a half-baked website, you’re not only missing opportunities, you’re actively blocking them. A genre-specific demo landing page isn’t a vanity project. It’s your digital handshake, your storefront, your proof you’re ready for real work. Build it with intention. Make it convert. Put your best foot forward where they’re already...
MTI: Attraction
Move Touch Inspire The Newsletter for Voice ActorsAugust 1, 2025 An Idea To Move You You’re not in the business of chasing every lead. You’re in the business of being seen by the right people: those who actually need your voice and are ready to pay for it. LinkedIn isn’t just a digital resume dump. It’s a stage. When you show up with valuable insights, you’re not begging for attention, you’re earning it. Stop thinking of marketing as a numbers game (although that's true). Start thinking of it...
MTI: Connection
Move Touch Inspire The Newsletter for Voice ActorsJuly 17, 2025 An Idea To Move You You’re not in the business of cold pitches and fake smiles. You’re in the business of building real relationships. If you’re dreading networking because it feels slimy, flip the script. Show up with curiosity. Ask questions. Listen more than you talk. When you focus on connecting instead of selling, you stop chasing gigs and start attracting them. That’s how you build a network that actually works for you. A...
MTI: First Impressions
Move Touch Inspire The Newsletter for Voice ActorsJuly 10, 2025 An Idea To Move You You can’t book a gig if no one remembers your name. In voiceover, your first impression isn’t your homepage. It’s the moment you show up in someone’s inbox, DMs, or social feed. If you want to be more than background noise, you need a lead magnet that actually matters to your audience. Stop waiting for people to stumble onto your site. Start building real connections from the very first touchpoint. A Thought...
MTI: Consistency
Move Touch Inspire The Newsletter for Voice ActorsJune 26, 2025 An Idea To Move You If you're going to half-ass something, you're likely not going to get half the results. You typically get way less. If you go all-in, you'll likely get the result you want (and it always takes longer than you think it will). All-in is almost always worth it. Half-assing it, almost never. Note: This is not about perfection(ism). It's about commitment to consistency. A Thought to Touch You* Most voice actors...
