Move Touch InspireThe Newsletter for Voice Actors & Creative Pros An Idea To Move YouThere’s a persistent lie in this industry: “If you’re new, you should be grateful for whatever you get.” Complete bullshit. You were a professional before you had your first client. The moment you decided your time and skills had value, you set the terms for how you’ll be treated. Experience comes with reps, but self-respect starts right now. Not tomorrow. You’re here to do the work and to command what that work is worth. Stop negotiating with your own value. A Thought to Touch You*If you are trained to competency, and you provide a smooth experience for your clients, you are a professional. You’re not asking for charity. Your work has value and you should charge appropriately for it. A Quote to Inspire You“If you don’t value your time, neither will others. Stop giving away your time and talents. Value what you know and start charging for it.”
— Kim Garst *This Week's Thought......is from this week's content, Client Outreach for Creative Pros: Why Your Cold Emails SUCK.
Most creative careers die in the DMs, not because of bad talent, but bad communication. If you’re a part-time voice actor, designer, or creative trying to ditch side hustles and go full-time, this week's episode is your wake-up call. Cold outreach isn’t sleazy, it’s essential. You’ll learn how to message clients without sounding desperate, the psychology behind outreach fear, and how to flip rejection into opportunity. Have a lovely Thursday and weekend, 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. |
