A VO's Journey is about helping new voiceover artists grow their business by listening to my journey to becoming a full-time voice actor. I have been an actor, coach, director, and teacher for over 20 years. I started six years ago in the voice-over industry and wanted to create a way to document my journey so other voice over actors could benefit from it. Voiceover is now my life, and I love every moment of it.

    Ep. 5: Want More Voiceover Work ... FOCUS Your Efforts

    Want More Voiceover Work ... FOCUS Your Efforts

    One of our biggest challenges is getting attention, and then keeping it long enough, to sell them our voiceover services.

    There are people with way more money than us out there just slamming people with advertising. Instead of doing everything to get as much attention as possible, focus on one single genre of voiceover and then go all in.

    Become the VO expert in that performance field.

    Ep. 6: Stop listening to the BS and Win at Voiceover

    Stop listening to the BS and Win at Voiceover

    I was trying to enjoy my weekend, but I was bombarded with noise from the business and voiceover world.

    This past weekend, I was watching some videos on being an entrepreneur in today's society. What we should be doing, and I needed to be on social media 24/7, I needed to be superhuman at working longer than anyone else. I need to be doing more voiceover work than humanly possible.

    I was discouraged. Then, I realized that the solution was to put all the energy into what mattered, which was getting business. I needed to take the outlets I know produce business for me and focus on them, and I will be able to get work.

    We talk about my struggle with this and what I have come up with to help my voiceover business move forward in this podcast.

Stephanie princess McMahon ,

Starting my own business

Good morning. My name is Stephanie. I am from Ottawa Ontario Canada. I just started listening to your podcast not that long ago and so far I’m loving it. I have been in drama at school for many years and I do enjoy voice acting. I’m hoping to start my very own business in the future. The business I’m hoping to start is to dress up as Disney princesses for when and if a child wants a Disney themed birthday party. And I would love some voice coaching on how I can do this because I do have some questions about this kind of stuff. And this will really help me get further into my dream future of starting this business. I’m sorry if a couple of the questions are a little bit weird.

Maine! ,

Newbie

I’m someone that is literally toe deep into this field and I’m so happy to have found Anthony that is laying it all out on the table. Step by step and as real as it gets. Making my way through the episodes and hoping to take your info and run with it! Thanks Anthony!
