Will a recession impact voice over? Is there a ways to recession proof your voice over business? Are some genres safer than others?
You can't turn on the TV or open the internet without hearing panic and fear about recession, inflation and a bear market economy. But what does it all mean and will it impact your ability to earn a living as a voice actor?
In what is unquestionably the most intellectually involved conversation I've ever had on the podcast, JMC and I dive into all things economics and offer up plenty of advice and strategy for navigating what's to come in the voice over industry and in your business specifically.
We even look ahead to VO Atlanta 2023!

Where do you check your email most often? For most of us, that's happening more and more on our mobile devices. Either we're checking emails on smartphones or tablets. Knowing this to be true (the stats don't lie), it's important we consider mobile-friendliness when we're composing marketing emails and writing our subject lines.
In this episode, I offer up five considerations to make your email subject lines more mobile-friendly and (hopefully) more effective!

Outsourcing can be one really effective way to scale up your voice over business. There's only so much you can do as a VOpreneur on any given day. By outsourcing tasks to a virtual assistant or even a software solution, it allows you to get more done with less of your own time invested.
So how do you decide what to outsource? That's the topic I'm exploring in this episode, giving you three different considerations for making a decision about outsourcing.

What are voice over terms and how do you set them? There are certain details that need to be discussed, in place and agreed upon before you should ever go into the booth to record. In this episode, I highlight four important terms that both the talent and the client need to be clear on before any project.

When you submit an audition on a casting site or through an agent, it's reasonable to assume it's for an active project and the voice actor will be hired "soon." Like... the next day. Maybe the next week at most. And so many VO's obsessively check their casting profiles and inboxes waiting for the email to come that says they've booked.
This is a great way to make yourself crazy, and it isn't necessarily an accurate reflection of voice over casting timelines. In this episode, I share a few thoughts that will hopefully help you relax, stress a little less and enjoy the audition process a little more.

The social media soapbox... a lot of voice actors take "advantage" of social media to create a platform to air their grievances. Rarely does a day go by that someone isn't complaining about rates, jobs, casting sites, auditions, agents or any other number of things.
But is complaining online the best use of social media? And your time? Or could it be that all that whining, grumbling and griping is actually costing you work while potential clients form decisions about you as a talent, actor and person?
