Building a legit home studio is a dream goal for many voice actors. To finally have a place to work in that isn't a closet! Before you dive into a build, there are a lot of factors you need to consider. Many things you need to plan for. If you're going to finally build your space, you want to build something you're happy with. A place you're excited to spend your days.
While I am not a home studio expert, I did go through a complete build from scratch and certainly learned a few lessons along the way. In this weeks episode I share some of the story of my build, some of the most important considerations that are often overlooked, and with a little hindsight, I talk about a few things I may have done differently if given the chance.
PS: If you're planning a build, don't consult Facebook Groups. You'll get too many opinions and many of them may not be that helpful. Skip that step and go straight to the pros. Reach out to someone like "Uncle" Roy Yokelson, George Whittam or Dan Leonard. Their input will be so much more valuable to you!

You've got a rate card. You know what you'll charge based on genre, length, usage, etc... But do you have a Revisions and Retakes policy? Many don't, and they should. It's just as important as your rate card and it's something that you should be upfront about with every client you work with.
Not sure about revisions or retakes and how to handle them? That's what this weeks episode is all about!

Success is in the follow up. This is something I preach from on high every time I have an opportunity to say it to anyone who is willing to listen. If you're going to create new voice over work for yourself, you've got to have a system in place for regular follow up with your leads, prospects and - most importantly - your voice over clients.
Thing is, many voice actors don't like to do follow up because they fear being annoying. It's time to get over that!
In this weeks episode I'm going to share five different ways you can keep yourself top of mind that are absolutely NOT annoying when done properly.

As the holiday season approaches, the debate will begin again... "should I be giving gifts to my voice over clients? And if so, what kind of gifts should I be giving?"
It's a great question, and one that draws a lot of different opinions and perspectives. In this weeks episode I collect a number of those from Everyday VOpreneurs who are out there working daily... and giving gifts... or not. I think you're going to learn a lot from this one.

This week I'm giving you 5 steps I shared with my Mastermind Group on how to win in the fourth quarter. How to take your goals, assess them, plan for them and ultimately, achieve them! Have a pen and paper handy for this one. You're going to want to take some notes!
