Audiobooks and Acting with Sean Pratt
When I reached out to Sean Pratt, my goal was discuss audiobooks. A genre of voice over that I know nothing about and an entirely intimidated by. I expected to learn a few things, and uncover some helpful nuggets for podcast listeners who are in the space.
What I got instead, was a virtual acting master class that can be applied across basically any genre of voice over, including audiobooks. Yes, we discuss books and strategy and marketing and A.I. and all those things. But Sean went so much deeper and gave us so much more.
You're going to enjoy (and learn a lot) from this one!

Please Hold... Talking Telephony Voice Over with Liz de Nesnera
Telephony is an often overlooked genre of voice over. Ok, so maybe it's not as fun or glamorous as video games or promo or animation. But it can actually be very lucrative. A nice foundational genre for your business to have consistent income landing in your bank account while you're pursuing some of those other genres.
Mention the the words telephony, IVR or on-hold messaging in the voice over world, and one name will come up nearly every time. That name is Liz de Nesnera. She is a master of this genre of voice over, even consulting with the GVAA on the telephony rates for the GVAA Rate Guide. In this interview, she delivers on Master Class on telephony, and makes a strong case for why it's a genre more of us should be considering.

Finding Your Authentic Voice with Dave Walsh
Every audition spec we see asks for genuine and authentic reads. But how do we get there? First, it may involve some tears! Dave Walsh is one of the most respected and admired coaches in the voice over industry. He has a gift for peering into the souls of voice actors, and helping us get past all "stuff" to be able to find our TrueTell®. When we get there, that's when we deliver absolutely genuine and authentic reads.
In addition to offering plenty of advice for how we can get out of our own way, Dave also shares his powerful story of losing his voice (legitimately) to turning that into a way to help others find theirs.

The most valuable tool in my toolbox
Iv been listening to Marc’s podcasts for almost 2 years. He has helped me navigate the side of voiceover that I was most apprehensive about and without him, I wouldn’t be on the right track. There is so much credible information out there from so many sources, but I know that I can trust Marc and any guidance of his that I apply directly, has gotten me the results I needed. Thanks Marc!! You really are the BEST!
Wonderful!
I’ve been very impressed with Marc’s podcast. It’s nice to know that he’s thought of SO many different aspects to help me and my voice over business!
Excellent!
One of my favorites! Very well done
