Well, here we are, at the end of 2023. Almost time for 2024!!!
So, what happened this year…
- I had a surgery to repair my torn rotator cuff
- I was laid off my full-time job after 23 years
- I made the decision to see this is an opportunity to go full-time in Voice (and on-screen) acting
- I cut my 1st Pro Commercial Demo with the one and only Chuck Duran!
- I started agent-shopping for the first time, with GREAT success!
- I was added to more than 10 rosters across various media production companies!
- On top of growing my business, I became a National Brand Voice for Academy Sports + Outdoors!
- All in all, at year’s end, I pulled in enough revenue to be among the top 25% of VO earners (without agent revenue), when I only kicked up to full-time efforts around June/July of this year!
What a year it has been! SO MUCH accomplished, and SO MUCH MORE left to do! I have made so many new friends in the VO world, and funny enough, people are actually now seeking me out on LinkedIN as a ‘mentor’ in the world of VO, if you can believe that!?!?! I’m the first to admit that I’m no expert, but not selling myself short, I have done a lot in a relatively short amount of time, and I’ve gone about doing it the right way. No shortcuts. I’m putting in the time, the work, and the study to hone my craft, and now, if I can help others by sharing my journey, I’m happy to do it. I’m no VO Coach or Trainer. I don’t think I will ever really want to do down that road of being one of the industry’s “talking heads”, but if my experience can help someone else along their VO journey, then I’d consider myself a fortunate person to be able to help others along in the same manner that I was helped.
I am truly grateful for a wonderful 2023. When I started, I had my apprehension, and really, just plain FEAR of the unknown. Now that I look back, it was all worth it, and I can’t wait to see what 2024 holds!!!
Wishing you all the best for a SAFE, PROSPEROUS, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
