The Studio is COMPLETE! Time to Go ALL IN!
When I started in the voiceover industry, I had a simple rule: buy gear as I earn more money. However, I soon realized that this approach might not be the best one. If my situation allowed me to invest in myself, why wait? Of course, I understand that not everyone has the same financial leverage, […]

As someone who is passionate about voice over (VO) and dreams of one day running a successful VO operation, I’m constantly faced with the challenge of balancing my full-time day job with my VO career. In this blog post, I’ll share my recent experiences and struggles with this delicate balance. At the start of the […]
WHOA?!?! From Voice Actor to On-Screen Actor?
Are you one of those people who thinks that dreams never come true? Think again. I’m here to share my story of how, despite a personal tragedy, I pushed forward with my dreams and landed a role in a Marvel movie. After the loss of my father last July, I knew that I had to […]
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 […]
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 […]
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! […]
