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.

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...

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.
