How do you know “when”. I talk about several things for you to consider! (It’s a general question, though for ANY “part-time” business!) .

Getting Stared in Voice Over #23: More on Mics and Foam backing
I’m in several on-line forums. I’ve seen many posts the last week on foam surrounds for mics.
Disclaimer: I’m NOT a sound guy; I’m NOT a mic specialist but here’s some common sense thoughts…
Phone Messages, IVR and Voice Mail
Phone Messages, IVR (Interactive Voice Response) and Voice Mail.
I included two different demos in today’s episode. Which do you like better? The first is from last spring and includes my old branding, and another I did just this week. Comments? Which would make you buy?
Getting Stared in Voice Over #22: Digital Delivery Platforms #1:
For a couple weeks I’m going to talk about digital delivery platforms and my take on them. Today is just a primer and will relate my experiences in weeks ahead.
Digital delivery is everything from #voiceovers to excel spreadsheets. There are #voiceacting (only) sites and I’ll touch on them also. .
What can I record for you?
It’s Monday- time to be intentional!
Also known as “Thanksgiving Recovery Week!”
Set your intentions on finishing up the month and plan for Dec!
Plan on how you’ll wrap the week and month. Are there follow ups to do? Bills to send? And what are you planning for Dec? Are you ready to go?

Getting Stared in Voice Over #21 (Even) MORE on your recording space
For more on where this all started, go back and hit the first three episodes of “Getting Stared in Voice Over” back in July 2021.
While I’d been in radio “back in the day”, last year, I wanted to update my capabilities and engaged Dan Popp in Akron, OH (http://www.colorsaudio.com/podcast) for coaching. Please hit that link for his podcast also. This is what reminded me today that I may need to update my information in those first episodes. (Knowing what you know and explaining it are sometimes different things!)
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.

Christmas Characters!
It’s that time of year! If you need “Santa” or an elf to read a story for your kids, for a commercial or other fun things, reach out!! I have an example in the video, also a fun cartoon effect from the conference I was involved in on Monday from Oman! .
