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.

    How to Be More Conversational with Hugh Klitzke

    Ah yes... the conversational voice over read. Or is that, the conversational NON ANNOUNCER voice over read? 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. Better casting direction can improve audition outcomes. Acting workshops can enhance voice acting skills.

    This is Why Your Marketing Isn't Working

    In an effort to be less annoying, what if you're costing your voice over business thousands of dollars in potential lost revenue?  Even worse... what if your narratives are all wrong and you're costing yourself that lost revenue for no good reason at all? Voice Actors who fail to follow-up are voice actors who are missing out on new clients and new bookings. And the number one reason for not following up, "I don't want to be annoying." This narrative is all wrong and I explain why in this episode.

    Have you ever wondered how to figure out if your social media content is actually working? What are the metrics that you need to be paying attention to? Of those metrics, how do you even determine if your numbers are good or not? In this episode, Marc Scott breaks down a few considerations for tracking your social media strategy including defining the difference between some of the key metrics, highlighting which metric he believes matters most and sharing some tips on how to grow that particular metric.

Reach refers to the total number of unique users exposed to content, while impressions represent the total number of times content is displayed. Organic reach, which is the reach without paid promotion, has significantly decreased over time on various social media platforms. Algorithms reward engagement, so it is crucial to focus on generating genuine engagement on social media posts. Strategies to increase engagement include asking questions, inviting readers to share their experiences, requesting feedback, and inviting people to direct messages. Targeted engagement is more valuable than high reach, as reaching the right audience is essential for effective communication and achieving desired outcomes.
