    Forget the Haters; Stay Authentic on Social Media

    One of the big reasons why voice actors don't use social media is because of criticism from total strangers. Someone either shares something, or drops a comment, and you immediately second guess everything you're doing on social media, or assume you're doing it all wrong. We're giving too much power to these total strangers. In this episode, I talk about the importance of remembering who your audience is, tailoring your content to that audience, remaining authentically you, and ignoring the haters, who are probably going to hate, no matter what you do! Let this episode serve as a reminder that success isn’t about pleasing everyone, but about building genuine connections with the people who matter.

She wanted to work in animation and more specifically, she wanted to work on a Star Wars project. That dream became a reality when she landed a role on Star Wars; Young Jedi Adventures.

    Is This a Glimpse at the Future of Voice Over with Erin Culpepper

    Can A.I. and Human voice actors work together? Is there a path forward where they coexist in the space? I guess only time will truly answer that question, but for now, we can look at what's happening in the real world. The vast majority of VO is still human. Yay! Some VO is being taken over by A.I. Boo! But what if there's a new form of VO being created that's a collaborative effort between humans and A.I.? Well that's interesting! In this episode, Erin Culpepper shares her story of working on a groundbreaking toy project. A toy that could become one of the hottest toys of the holiday season (in my opinion). And it's, perhaps, a case study in how human voice actors and A.I. might work together. Listen with an open mind. I think there's lessons for us all to learn.

Persistence in marketing is key; relationships take time to build. Coaching should set realistic expectations for voice actors. Complacency can kill a voice over career; continuous learning is essential. The audition process requires resilience and a love for the craft. Daily routines should focus on nurturing existing relationships and finding new leads. Technology, like CRM systems, can greatly enhance business management.

    Can Improv Make You a Better Voice Actor with Rebecca Haugh

    Improv is a fascinating technique in the performance world that some people love, many people fear, and, I suspect, many simply don't fully understand.   I admit, myself, that I feel into a combination of the fear and lack of understanding category. Until this interview with Rebecca Haugh.   Rebecca is a gifted voice actor and coach who teaches voice actors the art of improv.   If improv is something you've never really explored or considered before, I strongly urge you to listen to this episode with an open mind. You might just find improv could be the catalyst to leveling up your comfort and performance level in the booth!   CORRECTION: In this episode I mistakenly referred to one of Rebecca's clients as Fiverr. It should have been Pfizer. I apologize for their error. ~ Marc CONNECT WITH REBECCA HAUGH Rebecca Haugh Website - https://lovethatrebecca.comVO Improv Website - https://voimprov.comRebecca Haugh Instagram - https://instagram.com/vo_improv   Marc Scott on Instagram - https://instagram.com/marcscott RESOURCES FOR VOICE ACTORS * Voice Over Marketing PlaybookVisit https://voiceovermarketingplaybook.com * The VOpreneur Guide to TestimonialsVisit https://vopreneur.com/testimonials * Get an instant $25 credit when you sign up for VoiceZamVisit https://voicezam.com/marcscott * For voice over services:Visit https://marcscottvoiceover.com * Want VOpreneur Swag?Visit https://teespring.com/stores/vopreneur * Join the VOpreneur Facebook GroupVisit https://facebook.com/groups/vopreneur EVERYDAY VOPRENEURS IN THIS EPISODE * Thanks to "Uncle Roy" for production assistance!Visit https://antlandproductions.com * Thanks to Christy Harst for VO contributions!Visit https://christyharst.com * Thanks to Krysta Wallrauch for VO contributions!Visit https://krystawallrauch.com If you need guidance with your voice over business or learning how to more effectively market, I can help.

Either way, we see the direction in pretty much every single audition that comes into our studios. Doesn't seem to matter what genre. It's what every casting director, agent, producer and creative director on planet earth is looking for. So how do we deliver it? Enter Hugh Klitzke. With over 125,000 auditions directed, Hugh knows conversational. So much that he branded his entire business after it! In this episode, Hugh digs deep into the conversational read, and the end result is a virtual Master Class on the subject.

Understanding the audience is crucial for a successful read. Scripts are rarely written conversationally, making interpretation essential. Perspective is more important than just vocal sound in voice over. Multiple takes can lead to a deeper understanding of the script. Imagination plays a key role in making scripts sound genuine.
