"Who do I trust?"
It's a question I get asked daily. The internet has afforded everyone a platform, and with that platform, anyone can be a coach now. Even folks who shouldn't be. Folks who truly aren't coaches at all. So who can you trust? How do you know who to invest your dollars with so you can get a solid return?
In this weeks episode I've collected stories from Everyday VOpreneurs who have had impactful coaching experiences. In intertwine their stories with some of my own stories of powerful coaching experiences. If you're looking for voice over coaching, the names in this episode would be a good place to start!

Basically every time you open up any of your social media feeds, odds are you're going to see another story about declining voice over rates. Another story from a voice actor who's upset with the budget they were offered. Another rant about how certain casting sites are killing the industry.
It's a perpetual pity party... and it's getting old!
With this episode, my hope is we can begin to shift the narrative. What you'll find is a collect of five stories from Everyday VOpreneurs just like you who successfully stood by their rates and booked the job. VOpreneurs who know their worth and run their businesses accordingly.
Let these stories inspire you and help prove that not every rates story is a bad one!

When it comes to marketing and voice over, there are a lot of fears, myths and negative narratives that exist among talent. I don't know if we want marketing to be hard, or if we just think marketing is hard. The reality is, it's can actually be kind of fun when you know what you're doing and why you're doing it.
In this weeks episode I speak directly to five of the most common marketing fears, or perhaps, excuses, that I hear from voice actors and address each one.
I also offer up the Playbook for permanently kicking marketings butt and becoming the consistently working voice actor you truly want to be.

When I'm teaching marketing to voice actors, one of the points I drive home over and over and over again is that leads can literally be found everywhere. The potential is only limited by your creativity and willingness to make connections.
The entire purpose of this episode is to get you thinking beyond the traditional casting sites, agents and production companies. Those are all places you can find voice over work, for sure. However, they're not the only places to find work. After this episode, I think you'll be feeling a lot different about your marketing and keeping your eyes open to the endless possibilities that are out there.

"I've submitted 400 auditions on [casting site not worthy of mention] and still haven't booked a single job. What am I doing wrong?"
"I'm auditioning everyday for my agents, casting sites, production companies... but I never seem to book."
The struggle is real. Competition is intense. If you're not putting your best foot forward in today's voice over marketplace, you're going to struggle to convert your auditions to bookings.
Based on my experience both as a talent, and as someone who does castings from time-to-time (please don't start sending me your demos), I'm sharing six of the most common issues I see when it comes to failed auditions.

Trust me... they're actually a really big deal! When you recognize and appreciate that, it'll help push you to your next achieved goal.
