Every Thursday, the latest issue is sent to voice actors and other creative pros 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: detachment, identity, Terry Briscoe on freedom, and Simon Mainwaring on brand success
Move Touch InspireThe Newsletter for Voice Actors and Creative Pros An Idea To Move YouGus (my 🐾 Husky) and I walk a 5k every morning, which gives me an hour uninterrupted by tech, agents, clients, colleagues, and ads that want to sell me something blue to chew, to just walk and think. I highly recommend it. Lately I've been thinking a lot about detachment. We're all human. We ALL screw the pooch every now and again. We screw up, mess up, foul up, and fuck up. But that's not who we are. It's not a real part of our identity. If we're in integrity, we show up, own up, make up as best we can, and move on. A Thought to Touch You*“You need to find a way to still have a life while you’re building this thing we call a business.” A Quote to Inspire YouBranding expert, author, speaker, and CEO Simon Mainwaring reminds us: “The keys to brand success are self-definition, transparency, authenticity and accountability." *This week's Thought...Is from Terry Briscoe, one of the many brilliant Board Members in The VO Boardroom, happening next week at VOBoardroom.com. Voice actor, entrepreneur, and coach Terry Briscoe lives with multiple sclerosis, which means his body doesn’t always cooperate with the plans he makes. That reality has taught him when to power through, when to adapt, and when to step away and take care of himself. Building a successful business matters, but not if it consumes the very life the business was supposed to support. He says, “You need to find a way to still have a life while you’re building this thing we call a business.” Because freedom isn’t something you earn after the work is finished. It’s something you have to protect while you’re doing it. Catch Terry's session Why No One Cares About Your Great Voice, and 11 other industry experts September 14-17 (next week) in The VO Boardroom.
