An Idea To Move You

The artistic side of VO has lots of rules that, once mastered, are made to be broken (with the discretion of a master).

The business side, not as much. Those rules are generally pretty solid. Break them at your own peril. We share what some of those are this week in our content.

A Thought to Touch You*

It’s easy to scroll through Instagram and feel like everyone’s booking massive campaigns and winning all the awards while you’re voicing phone menus for Bob’s Plumbing.

Here’s the reality: You’re not seeing the full picture.

Most people don’t post about the dry months, the gigs they didn’t get, and the years they spent grinding before landing big-name clients. Stay in your lane and trust the process.

A Quote to Inspire You

*Today's Thought...

...is from this week's content, The 10 COMMANDMENTS of VO Every Voice Actor NEEDS. Completely unlike Moses from the mountaintop, I bring you these 10 Commandment of Voice Over. Trust me, it’s not every day you get 10 commandments from an atheist. 😉

Now before you get your hackles up, we’re playing fast and loose with the word commandments here. There are no hard and fast rules that you should never, ever, ever violate, but these are pretty close. Think of them as my strong recommendations.

As always, you run your own business and career. But if I were you, I’d pay attention.
