Voiceover: It’s NOT Just Speaking into a Mic!
As I continue down this path of learning all I can in the world of voiceover, one thing is abundantly clear, there are many people out there who are intrigued by the ‘easy living’ some people make behind the mic. I mean, all they do is talk, and then they get paid ridiculous amounts of […]
Goodbye Dad…I’ll Always Love and Miss You.
I have so much to say, and yet, right now, the words don’t come easy. Stepping away from VO for on this post a bit, I need to take time to come to grips with the fact that I just lost the man who taught me everything I knew about how to be one. He […]
Taking Things to the Next Level! STUDIO TIME!
Now that I have a little trickle of paid jobs coming in, I need to be more focused on the space I record in. I learned long ago, as detailed in one of my earliest blog entries, that this was the first and most important thing to do, even before spending on top-notch equipment… TREAT […]
Things Just Got Real! I’M A VO TALENT!
So back on my last post, I said that I’d be starting up my social media presence. Well, I did. Facebook and IG are both up and running. As I had previously mentioned, my first order of business was to get friends and family to hold me accountable to my goals, not that I NEEDED […]
Been Long Enough, Time to Make Things Happen!
Well, been away for a few months…I mean…quite a few months. Had nothing juicy to share, so I figured I’d keep working the voice out, continue training, getting coach, reading up on the industry…not just the voice part, but also the BUSINESS part, because you can only do so much with only a voice. If […]
Not VO Related, But…Still!
Ok..so right off the bat, this has nothing to do with VO, except for the fact that I guess this space can double as a “research facility” for a little voice work, as I am a HUGE movie buff, and in fact, movies are how I seek to blow off steam. I need the ability […]
The Studio Has Gained New Gear!
So, this is not a long post, but in keeping my promise to detail all the important steps in my journey, this one felt like something I couldn’t leave out. An important part of being a VO Artist, is, as mentioned in previous posts, the ability to properly edit/engineer your audio. Sometimes, however, it’s tough […]
So, Where Do I Find the Work?
Ok…so here is a question that I have had for some time. I mean, I’m studying, learning the ropes, toying with the equipment, finding my voice, and all that good stuff…but when it comes time to actually find clients, how is that done? Do I need an agent? Do I comb through classifieds somewhere? When […]
Well…That Escalated Quickly – COVID-19!
Ok…so, this is now a thing…and apparently, a SERIOUS thing. A PANDEMIC!!! This was an odd week. Took a cruise with some buddies…mostly former co-workers…a little 4 day cruise. We do this from time to time…just a guy’s trip. We’ve done Vegas, Cruises, whatever…just to get away and blow off some steam…but this time…was different! […]
Finding My Voice…and My Niche – How?
Hey everyone! Back at the blog again with some thoughts to share! So, in the VO world, there are many different genres/niches where a VO artist can find work. Some specialize in one (or favor one), and others just get the work wherever they can, genre/niche be damned. I don’t know that I have a […]
