Every Thursday, the latest issue is sent to voice actors and other creative freelancers 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: Unapologetic
Move Touch InspireThe Newsletter for Voice Actors An Idea To Move YouThe 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 ambivert? No matter what the label or thing is you think you have to de-emphasize.... Stop. And step into it: Be who you are. The world needs people who are unapologetically themselves. A Thought to Touch You*"The thing that we bring to any script is our own human experience that other people connect to. You can prompt a robot to sound sad. You can prompt a robot to sound friendly. But a human interacting with a robot is not the same as a human interacting with a human." A Quote to Inspire You“Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.”
– Brené Brown
*This Week's Thought......is from my friend, colleague, and elite voice actor, Carin Gilfry's session in The VO Boardroom, which runs Monday through Thursday next week, September 8-11th, presented by VOPro.pro. A successful VO career is about navigating an industry that’s changing faster than ever. Carin knows this firsthand. As a nationally recognized voice actor, co-founder and President of NAVA, and co-founder of the eVOcation conference, Carin has built her career at the highest levels while leading the charge for performer rights and fair practices in the age of AI. In her Board Meeting session, Carin will share what it really takes to build a sustainable VO business today—covering representation, advocacy, balance, and the future of our industry. Her perspective bridges the booth and the boardroom, giving you insights you won’t hear anywhere else. Reserve your free seat at The VO Boardroom, and grab the All Access Pass so you can revisit Carin’s session (and every other) anytime:
Once The VO Boardroom starts on Monday, the All Access Pass price goes up, so make sure to hop on that now.I hope to see you there Monday and all next week, Reader. I'm glad we're friends, Reader. If there's anything you'd like to adjust with what you receive from me, click here. |
