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 take on managerial roles. In the real world of non-union voiceover, these lines can be blurry AF.

That’s why you need to know not just what your rep says they do but what they’re legally allowed to do in your state.

A Quote to Inspire You

~ Simon Sinek, Author and Inspirational Speaker
