Is it “Gut Check” time? Getting Started in Voice Over #27
“When the going gets tough…” and 200 other sports/war metaphors/analogies later, it comes down to the fact that no one is going to carry you. There are coaches for virtually every segment of your business. Choose wisely. If you’re trying to decide to go further in your VO or business career, this may help.
Check your ego at the door- Getting Started in Voice Over #26
It sounds right to say owners of small businesses “can do whatever we want”, well, we can. We’re free to ruin our businesses. In some ways however, we’re even less flexible in the way we live and work.
Dishonest Car Dealers: Wed Potpourri
I Hate, despise, detest, loath, abhor… CAR DEALERS. As you may know I had a car totaled last week. So I’m ready to buy. Money in hand, etc. Twice yesterday had dealers that 1) Lied to me; 2) Assumed I was an idiot. “There oughta be a law!”

Pushing your limits- It’s “Intentional” Monday!
What limits of your own have you pushed lately? A friend and I went hiking yesterday. For me, it was the first time in a long while. A challenge? Yup! Did she push me a bit? Maybe a little, but it was more (for me) about getting in better condition, so pushing past the initial fatigue was important!
Push yourself this week. Better customer service, faster deliveries, what can you do to be better?
It’s a lot like hard work! Getting started in Voice Over #20
Hard to believe I’ve done 20 episodes of Getting started in Voice Over! I was planning on doing a few episodes and here we are. Thanks for your support! . What can I record for you?
Constant improvement!
This last few weeks have been about improving my craft and my environment. I spoke last month to taking additional coaching for craft work (to improve both commercial reads and corporate “teller/explainer” work).
My spare time this entire week has been improving my green screen technology use. I have an example in the video.
