MTI: Silence, silence, and Angela Duckworth on... silence
Move Touch InspireThe Newsletter for Voice Actors and Creative Pros An Idea To Move YouWhen have you wasted time and emotion speaking when you could have been silent? When have you wasted time and emotion remaining silent when you could have spoken up? A Thought to Touch You*Voice actors are especially good at turning silence into rejection. We’re trained to notice nuance, read subtle cues, and think carefully about how something lands. Those are great qualities when you’re performing, but they don’t serve you when you’re trying to run a business. You send one email and hear nothing, and suddenly your brain starts telling a made up story. “I don’t want to bother them.” “They probably weren’t interested.” “I’ll look desperate if I email again.” Or “They’ll call if they need me.” Maybe they will. But you’re placing an awful lot of faith in a busy person remembering one email from one voice actor they heard once months ago.
