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.

Hardware, software and all points in between. It takes a lot of different types of tools to run a successful voice over business. I've previously published an eBook highlighting over 50 of the ones I use for various and assorted purposes.
In this weeks episode, I share a few of my favourite tools, and I've collected a few stories from some Everyday VOpreneurs talking about the different tools they're using to make running a business a little bit more organized and easier.

"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.

You are your own worst critic. Nobody will be harder on you than yourself. As you work towards your goals, it's so easy to focus so far forward towards accomplishment that you forget to take a minute to reflect on how far you've already come.

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.

In the meantime, when you find yourself with extra time because you're not in the studio recording, what are you supposed to do with it? In this weeks episode, I offer 10 tips for things you can be doing during the Summer Slowdown that will add value to your business and might even generate your next great voice over opportunity!

The voice over industry of 2019 is not the same voice over industry as 2012 (my first year full-time). In just that short span of time, some massive shifts have taken place and as VOpreneurs, we need to understand those shifts and adjust our mindsets accordingly.
In this episode I identify five of the most common beliefs I see in voice actors getting started in the industry (and even in talent who have been here a while). I then offer the mindset shifts I believe need to take place in talent in order to move forward.

The library is often an overlooked and even forgotten resource when it comes to building a business. The reality is, an entire education can be found in the free books you can borrow from your local library, if you're reading the right books!
I didn't go to college. I wasn't a great student in high school. Despite that, I've build a very successful voice over business and coaching business and it's been done through the pages of really great books!
This week I'm offering up some of my favourite reads, and I've reached out to a few everyday VOpreneurs to share some of theirs as well, along with the lessons they've learned. This is a must-listen episode filled with must-read books!

At some point in our journey, someone has spoken into our life or business and given advice that left a lasting impression. Maybe it was a coach, a mentor, maybe even a family member. Perhaps it was something you heard in a podcast or read in a blog.
In this weeks episode, I've reached out to Everyday VOpreneurs and asked them to share the best piece of advice they've been given. In between their stories, I share some of the best advice I have to offer voice actors as well.
