Every Thursday, the latest issue is sent to voice actors and other creative freelancers like you. Each message includes an idea to move you, a thought to touch you, and a quote to inspire you, as well as what I’m writing about that week on YouTube, on The VO Pro Podcast, and in The Pro Blog.
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...
MTI: Partnership
Move Touch Inspire The Newsletter for Voice ActorsJune 19, 2025 An Idea To Move You We as voice actors generally have a posture of subservience when it comes to talent reps. Like it's some kind of prize to be won. Like we're working for the reps. That's fucked up. A good relationship with a talent rep is a partnership and a collaboration. You are two equal business people in a mutually beneficial business relationship. A Thought to Touch You* A lot of managers act like agents and some agents...
MTI: THE Secret
Move Touch Inspire The Newsletter for Voice ActorsJune 14, 2025 An Idea To Move You Everyone wants the secret to get a step ahead. An edge. A competitive advantage. Do you? Do you really want THE secret? The ONE thing that puts you miles ahead of everyone else? Here it is... Are you ready? Consistency. Consistently doing the things you need to do. That's it. That's the thing. A Thought to Touch You* You already know this: cold email gives you control. You decide whom to contact, you tailor...
MTI: Gut check. Goals. Grace.
Move Touch Inspire The Newsletter for Voice ActorsMay 29, 2025 An Idea To Move You Someone needs to hear this today: Grow up. Do the shit you need to do. This is not a drill. This is not a goddamn rehearsal. This is your life. If you're not willing to do the hard shit, then you're not willing to get the rewards. This isn't some BS "alpha male" garbage. This is simply gut check time. You in or out? If you're in, then get after it. A Thought to Touch You* Most voice actors think “getting...
