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. Visibility, trust, and systems are the three levers that actually move the needle. If you’re missing even one, you’re stuck. So, ask yourself: which lever are you ignoring? Fix that, and you’ll stop spinning your wheels. A Thought to Touch You* What separates the voice actors who break through...
MTI: Worth
Move Touch Inspire The Newsletter for Voice Actors & Creative ProsNovember 6, 2025 An Idea To Move You There’s a persistent lie in this industry: “If you’re new, you should be grateful for whatever you get.” Complete bullshit. You were a professional before you had your first client. The moment you decided your time and skills had value, you set the terms for how you’ll be treated. Experience comes with reps, but self-respect starts right now. Not tomorrow. You’re here to do the work and to...
MTI: Pros
Move Touch Inspire The Newsletter for Voice Actors & Creative ProsOctober 31, 2025 An Idea To Move You The difference between a working pro and the almost made it crowd is the humility to seek mentorship and the guts to shut down bad habits. You don’t need smoother pipes. You need better business practices. A Thought to Touch You* When you treat voice acting as something you do on the side, that’s exactly what it stays. Real clients… ad agencies, production companies, authors… want to work...
MTI: Visibility
Move Touch Inspire The Newsletter for Voice Actors & Creative ProsOctober 23, 2025 An Idea To Move You "Talent alone wins" is a fantasy. It doesn't. Visibility wins.

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. Making their life easier. Anticipating their needs. It's not about you. A Thought to Touch You* Your clients don’t give a rat’s ass about your...
MTI: Ownership
Move Touch Inspire The Newsletter for Voice Actors & Creative ProsOctober 9, 2025 An Idea To Move You Here's what nobody told you about business: you can't sit around waiting for the phone to ring (or the inbox to fill up). You know that cushy, every-two-weeks paycheck you get (or got)? Someone had to go out and bring in the business, that is make a sale (😱 gasp!) to provide the revenue to pay that check. If you're a voice actor or any creative freelancer... guess who has to go bring in that...
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...
MTI: WFH 🤦🏻♂️
Move Touch Inspire The Newsletter for Voice ActorsSeptember 18, 2025 An Idea To Move You You’re not in this game to be someone else’s asset. Every time you sign away your rights for a quick buck, you’re building someone else’s empire, not your own. If you want real freedom, you have to play the long game. Protect your future. That’s how you build a VO business that lasts. A Thought to Touch You* Work for hire offers the illusion of stability… a quick paycheck, a signed contract, a foot in the...
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. Need to be a nurturing parent in a scene? Be your version of a nurturing parent. An authoritative expert? Be your version of an expert. In life, are you quirky? Sensitive? Loyal? Short? Black? Gay? Left-handed? Rugged? Uncommonly tall? Atheist? Non-athletic? Nerdy? An introvert? An extrovert? An...
