Can you still use Twitter to find voice over work, network and build relationships? The short answer... yes!
There's a lot of crazy, negative stuff happening on the Twitter platform, but there's also a lot of good if you know how to look for and find it.
For any voice actor working in the character space, including gaming and animation, Twitter is especially key for your marketing efforts. There's a thriving community of character voice actors on the platform and jobs, auditions and opportunities are posted on a regular basis.
To teach you how to get the most out of Twitter, I brought in someone who's crushing it on the platform... June Yoon.

Next to your demos, your website is probably your most important marketing tool. Getting up a website set up should be a relatively easy process, but that's not always the case.
There are a lot of factors to consider when it comes to choosing a domain, finding a host, getting the features you need while avoiding the ones you don't, and then making sure your email is up and running.
To help break all that down I've brought in Brad Newman of Upper Level Hosting. In this interview, Brad is beyond generous with the wisdom, knowledge and tips offered. I think it's going to answer a lot of your questions and help you solve some of your website and email headaches!

Instagram has evolved a lot as a social media platform. Once the place to share sunset selfies and pictures of your dinner, now Instagram is a place to share stories, videos and even stream live.
Used properly, Instagram can be a powerful marketing tool and a fantastic way to stay top-of-mind with your voice over leads, prospects and clients.
Not sure how to do all that? Still struggling to find your groove on Instagram? Help is on the way and her name is Alexia Kombou, and award-winning British Voice Actress and someone who I think is crushing it on the platform.

Voice123 isn't a casting site built like any of the others. If you want to make it work, you need to learn how to use it properly. You need to understand how the casting and search algorithms work.
Using the site properly can lead to great success. Using it incorrectly can send you straight to the basement of their ranking system... and that's not a good place to be.
Natasha Marchewka and Katherine Tole are "V123 Super-Nerds." They're also the V123Pros... the geniuses behind a course that helps voice actors break the code on Voice123. If you have a membership on the site or are thinking of getting one, you need to listen to this episode!

Send enough marketing emails and it's going to happen. You're going to land one in the wrong inbox of the wrong person on the wrong day... and it's going to generate an angry or frustrated response.
When this happens, most voice actors instinctively want to quit marketing. Understandable... but unnecessary.
In this episode of the podcast I share a tip for handling this incident when it arrives (and it will arrive) and maybe even turning it into a positive result.

When you get right down to it, we're all just folks with voices and microphones looking for opportunities to tell stories... right?
So how do we set ourselves apart from the crowd? How do we stand out? Differentiate ourselves? How can we bring something (or what can we bring) to the table that other voice actors can't?
That's what the concept of the Unique Value Proposition is all about.
