This is Why Your Marketing Isn't Working22 Aug 202400:15:54

In an effort to be less annoying, what if you're costing your voice over business thousands of dollars in potential lost revenue? 

Even worse... what if your narratives are all wrong and you're costing yourself that lost revenue for no good reason at all?

Voice Actors who fail to follow-up are voice actors who are missing out on new clients and new bookings. And the number one reason for not following up, "I don't want to be annoying."

This narrative is all wrong and I explain why in this episode.

  • Targeted engagement is more valuable than high reach, as reaching the right audience is essential for effective communication and achieving desired outcomes.

Design Your Perfect Brand Logo with Katie Sinkowski18 Jul 202401:00:55

When I decided I wanted to redo this VOpreneur logo this year, there was one thing I was certain of. I was working with a human. With the previous logo, I used an online design service and it was ok. But this time, I really wanted / needed to work through the process with a human.

That's when I found Katie Sinkowski online. Working with her on the VOpreneur logo process was incredibly insightful and somewhat therapeutic for me. She helped me translate a jumble of ideas and concepts in my brain into a logo that told a better story of the VOpreneur brand.

In this episode, I walk through the logo design process with Katie. We talk design, color theory, psychology, trends, fonts and so much more.

If you're in the market for a logo, or thinking of redoing the one you've got, this episode is going to be incredibly helpful for you.

How to Use Data to Grow Your Voice Over Business with David Cui Cui11 Jul 202401:10:40

The Real Reason Online Casting Isn't Working For You with Brad Hyland30 May 202401:01:19

Maybe Online Casting sites don't hate you after all? We may hate the algorithms and the business practices and the Terms of Use on some of these sites, but what if that's not the real reason you're not booking and finding success with these platforms?

Brad Hyland is a very successful voice actor, and online casting is one of the places he's booking consistently. He reached out after the "Online Casting Sites Hate You" episode and said he wanted to make a counterpoint. I welcomed his perspective and knew I'd learn something.

The sites may be flawed, but if you're not booking, it may not be their fault. Brad and I dive deeper into what voice actors need to understand about how these sites work, and how to make them work.

Online Casting Sites Hate You23 May 202400:33:12

Online casting sites have been taking advantage of voice actors for years. How do we respond? By continuing to fork over membership fees.

These same casting sites are only getting worse in their practices. Part of me feels like they're just testing the boundaries. "How much can we get away with before the voice actors catch on and take action?"

Well, apparently they can get away with a lot!

From extortion level commissions to punishing algorithms to terms of use asking for everything but your first born child, the only thing that stays the same is the membership fees keep getting paid and voice actors keep letting sites get away with it.

So who's to blame? The online casting sites? Or the voice actors themselves?

KEY TAKEAWAYS
  • The 'People You May Know' feature on the LinkedIn profile page is a helpful tool for finding new leads, but its effectiveness depends on how you use LinkedIn for your voice over business.
  • LinkedIn now limits free users to five personal notes per month, but you can still send connection requests without a personal note and follow up with a message after the request is accepted.
  • Consider upgrading to a premium LinkedIn profile to access AI capabilities that can assist with messaging, content creation, and personalized messages for celebrations.
  • Hashtags on LinkedIn are being phased out as AI technology is used to determine the content of posts and push them to the right audience. Focus on including relevant keywords in your posts instead.
  • Posting external links on LinkedIn can reduce organic reach, so consider uploading videos and content natively to the platform to maximize visibility.
  • LinkedIn is testing a video feed feature, making it a potential platform for video creators to explore and share their content.

Voices.com Apologized... Now What?14 Mar 202400:28:43

Imagine my surprise when I showed up to watch The Famous Online Casting Panel at VO Atlanta recently and found Jay O'Connor, the Interim CEO of Voices.com sitting on stage preparing to take questions.

The panel did NOT disappoint.

Thank you, J. Michael Collins for organizing it, and the Anna Collins for making it a part of the VO Atlanta lineup.

A lot of voice actors have some pretty strong feelings about Voices[dot]com (myself included), and most of those feelings are not positive. Previous management seemingly did everything humanly possible to alienate the voice over community... their very customers... through unethical business practices.

Many top talent abandoned the site, and representatives from Voices[dot]com were basically ousted from participating in industry events.

Is that about to change?

I'll confidently say, a first step has been taken.

In this episode, I share a few thoughts and takeaways from the panel, along with a cautious optimism for changes to come that started with an apology to the community from the CEO.

Building a Door to Sports Promo for Women with Christy Harst29 Feb 202400:45:23

Why aren't Sports Promos accessible to female voice actors when the statistics show sizeable female audiences? (44% NFL / 47% MLB / 37% NHL / 37% MLS)

That's the question Christy Harst is asking, and it's the mission she's taken on for herself. She says females can't kick down the door to this genre because right now, the door doesn't even exist. 

Christy's goal... is to build the door!

Christy is partnering with other female voice actors to launch a grassroots campaign with the end objective being to get female voice actors access to sports promos (as well as other promo work with male dominated brands).

In this episode she shares her story and mission and shares ways the voice over community as a whole can help.

What Every New Voice Actor Needs to Know with Patrick Kirchner15 Feb 202400:58:29

When you're starting your voice over journey, there's a lot of information to process and a lot of very important decisions to make.

What should I coach with? Who produces quality demos? What equipment should I buy? What classes are worth it? What does it even look like to set up a small business? And the list goes on and on and on and on.

Another vital question is "who can I trust?"

Patrick Kirchner started his voice over journey in 2017. Along the way he's tried very hard to make the right investments and work with the right people to build a growing and successful business over time. It's working!

Now he's passing along what he's learned to help new voice actors starting out avoid some of the pitfalls that are often all too common.

Stay at Home Mom to Full Time Voice Actor with Jennifer Clark01 Feb 202400:45:10

At the beginning of 2020, Jennifer Clark was a stay-at-home mom with a dream to do voice over. A week before the pandemic hit, she booked her first paid voice over job.

Things moved quickly from there. More jobs. Big clients. Respected brands. Award nominations.

Along the way, one particular practice has been important to Jennifer, and it's the main reason I wanted to bring her on the show. 

Jennifer has a #HappyJar, and by the time you're done listening to this conversation, I know you'll have one too.

From Part Time to Full Time VO Through Outsourcing with Bryson Carr25 Jan 202400:52:02

For many voice actors, the dream and goal is to turn a part-time passion into a full-time career. That can be a challenge when you've only got limited time to devote to your voice over business though.

For Bryson Carr, the solution was outsourcing. With a limited number of hours to give to voice over because of a day job, outsourcing aspects of his business to a virtual assistant allowed him to get more done and grow faster.

Be inspired by his story, and take some notes because the same thing may be the solution you've been looking for!

What Every Voice Actor Needs to Know About A.I. with NAVA18 Jan 202401:01:17

A.I. isn't coming to the voice over industry. It's already here. The challenge for voice actors now is, how will we engage and respond as a community and industry.

One of the organizations speaking on our behalf is NAVA (National Association of Voice Actors). They are deeply engrained in numerous conversations including with SAG/Aftra and various levels of government

In this wide-ranging interview, I speak with Tim Friedlander (NAVA Founder and President) and Carin Gilfry (NAVA Co-Founder and Vice President). We dive into what NAVA is doing, what voice actors need to know and understand about A.I. in our industry and also, how we, as a voice acting community can support NAVA in their ongoing efforts.

How Voice Actors Should Respond to A.I.14 Dec 202300:22:56

When it comes to A.I. and the voice over industry, there's a lot of fear. A lot of speculation. A lot of uncertainty. A lot of doubt. But there seems to be less hard data. Less actual information. Less real stories to back up all the fear, uncertainty and doubt.

A.I. is here, whether we like it or not. It's going to be better as well. But that doesn't mean it's time to pack your studio and sell it on eBay. I genuinely believe there's still ample opportunity for professional voice actors. I'm seeing evidence of that in my own business, where I continue to sign new clients regularly for many different types of voice over.

In this episode, I share the advice I've been giving to voice actors who are coming to me on a near daily basis, sometimes paralyzed in fear of what's happening and what's to come (which, to be clear, nobody ACTUALLY knows what's to come). I hope this advice will encourage you.

Hang in there and just #DoTheThing!

Audiobooks and Acting with Sean Pratt30 Nov 202301:00:16

When I reached out to Sean Pratt, my goal was discuss audiobooks. A genre of voice over that I know nothing about and an entirely intimidated by. I expected to learn a few things, and uncover some helpful nuggets for podcast listeners who are in the space.

What I got instead, was a virtual acting master class that can be applied across basically any genre of voice over, including audiobooks. Yes, we discuss books and strategy and marketing and A.I. and all those things. But Sean went so much deeper and gave us so much more.

You're going to enjoy (and learn a lot) from this one!

Please Hold... Talking Telephony Voice Over with Liz de Nesnera16 Nov 202300:59:22

Telephony is an often overlooked genre of voice over. Ok, so maybe it's not as fun or glamorous as video games or promo or animation. But it can actually be very lucrative. A nice foundational genre for your business to have consistent income landing in your bank account while you're pursuing some of those other genres.

Mention the the words telephony, IVR or on-hold messaging in the voice over world, and one name will come up nearly every time. That name is Liz de Nesnera. She is a master of this genre of voice over, even consulting with the GVAA on the telephony rates for the GVAA Rate Guide. In this interview, she delivers on Master Class on telephony, and makes a strong case for why it's a genre more of us should be considering.

Talking Toys, Characters and Animation with Cristina Milizia26 Oct 202300:57:36

Animation is a genre most voice actors dream about being a part of one day. Right alongside that would be character work in general, whether that comes in the form of animation, gaming or even children's eLeaarning.

Many voice actors assume this work is only available to talent living in LA, and only accessible to those with elite representation. Cristina Milizia, (who now lives in upstate New York) blows up many of the commonly held beliefs and misconceptions about these genres of voice over.

Be inspired and encouraged by her story and the path she took to clients like Disney and Nickelodeon, knowing that the same is entirely possible for you!

Straight Talk about A.I. in Voice Over with Bev Standing19 Oct 202300:54:04

If you follow the current public narratives surrounding A.I. in voice over, it would be easy to draw the conclusion that we're all screwed and the industry is moments away from it's final breath. Every post about A.I. is negative and often rooted in fear.

But is this an accurate representation of what's actually going on in the industry? Or is the reality is a little more nuanced, and perhaps a little less doom and gloom?

Bev Standing has become one of the most trusted and respected voices in our industry when it comes to the subject of A.I. She got there because of a personal battle over an A.I. voice model of her voice that was used in ways she never approved, and she fought back.

In this fireside chat about A.I., Bev and I go deep into A.I. and voice over. Are things legitimately bleak? How can we protect ourselves? Can we use A.I. to our advantage? We cover it all!

The conclusion... it's not the robots that are taking over... maybe it's the Canadians. ;)
