Connecting with the Right Person at a Company - Summer Series 2023

Has this happened to you... you're sending voice over marketing emails and you reach out to a company. You get a response and that response says, "I'll forward your info to my colleague who is responsible for hiring voice actors?"
Great. Now what are you supposed to do? Is there even anything you can do? Or do you just sit back, wait, and hope for the best? That's the question Francis Cox wanted answered, and I dig into it in this episode.
* For Summer Series 2023, I'm inviting voice actors onto the show to ask one voice over business or marketing question and get it answered live on the podcast. Those episodes will release in June, July and August of 2023. *

How to AI Proof Your Voice Over Business - Summer Series 2023

AI isn't really coming anymore. It's already here and it's disrupting everything. Not just voice over. How much of a disruption remains to be seen. How long that disruption takes to have a major impact on the industry also remains to be seen.
In the meantime, what's a voice actor to do? How can we prepare ourselves and protect ourselves so that in five years, we can still be operating a successful and thriving voice over business? That's the question on the mind of James Brown and I do my best to offer an answer in this episode.

What’s the Biggest Mistake You Made in Your Voice Over Business - Summer Series 2023

After over a decade running a voice over business full-time, I've definitely had some moments where I look back with the benefit of hindsight and see things I wish I had done differently. Part of the reason I host this podcast is to help voice actors coming up avoid the mistakes I made when I was getting started.
In this episode, Shane Elsberry asks his most pressing question, "What's the biggest mistake you made in your voice over business, and what did you do to correct it?"
* For Summer Series 2023, I'm inviting voice actors onto the show to ask one voice over business or marketing question and get it answered live on the podcast. Those episodes will release in June, July and August of 2023. *

5 Calls to Action For Your Voice Over Website

Do you have a button on your voice over website that says, "Contact Me?" If so, you're not alone. Ever since the invention of the internet and Netscape, websites have used a "Contact Me" button as their primary call to action. The thing is, it really isn't a clear CTA.

5 Things You Need to Understand About Email Marketing

When done correctly, email marketing can be one of the most effective ways of growing your voice over business. Using this free tool everyday to add new people into your marketing pipeline, and ensuring new people are hearing your demos daily is a big part of it.
You also need to have a strategy for follow-up to ensure people don't forget you. That's where many VO's fall short... they give up too soon because they're worried about being annoying. 
In this episode I'm going to help you get over some of the common fears and challenges voice actors face with email marketing so you can find even greater success with your efforts.

Why You Need Someone to Check Your Blindspots

A blindspot is by it's very name, something you can't see. When you think about it in terms of driving a car, it's something that you can't see that's actually right beside you.
In our voice over businesses, we have blindspots. We have things we're too close to. Opportunities that are right in front of our faces, but unless someone on the outside points them out to us, we'll miss them.
In this episode I share a recent experience with one of my own blindspots and what I did to solve it. I hope you'll take inspiration from this to find some trusted people who will help you identify any blindspots you may have in your own business.

How to Use ChatGPT for Your Voice Over Business with Mike Thomas

When it comes to AI and voice over, I think we have two choices. We can fear it and run from it, or we can embrace it and leverage it. I'm choosing to do the latter. Looking for ways I can embrace AI to help me be more creative and more productive.
In this episode I chat with Mike Thomas. He's a voice actor and a digital marketer who has been using ChatGPT nearly since the beginning in a lot of interesting and creative ways. He shares plenty of great insights for how VOpreneur's can embrace this technology, and offers from pretty specific use cases and instructions for how to make it happen.

What the Instagram Changes Mean for Your Voice Over Marketing Efforts

What is it they say, "the only thing that stays the same is everything changes?"
Well, we're learning that again with Instagram is the platform shifts it's focus yet again. Reels were the hot ticket in 2022. That's going to be different in 2023, as Instagram recognizes that maybe they swung things a little too far in one direction and now they're walking it back.
What do these changes mean for you? How does it change your content strategy on the platform? That's what I'm talking about in this episode.
