MTI: 3 Levers
Move Touch Inspire The Newsletter for Voice ActorsOctober 2, 2025 An Idea To Move You You can’t just post more, or obsess over your website, or build a color-coded spreadsheet and call it a business.

MTI: It's Not About You
Move Touch Inspire The Newsletter for Voice Actors & Creative ProsOctober 16, 2025 An Idea To Move You We are, as a species, rather narcissistic. It's all about us. How will I look if I do that thing? Will people judge me? Will I get approval? What does this mean for me? Marketing is making it all about them. Focus on the client. Their challenges.

MTI: Male Accountability
Move Touch Inspire The Newsletter for Voice ActorsSeptember 25, 2025 An Idea To Move You What does it mean to be accountable? It means holding yourself and others to a standard of behavior. It's not letting inappropriate comments slide. It's not assuming that a woman is overreacting. It's speaking up to send a message to another man, even when it's uncomfortable. Men need to be as accountable to support and protect women in VO as we are those in our own families. A Thought to Touch You* In a...

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...
