    Season 2 Episode 5 - Modern Day Knights

    🚨🚨New episode! Noble steeds at the ready!🚨 Have you seen the post that's going around about the fact the word "freelance" comes from the medieval term for a mercenary warrior? (swipe to see the original Xpost)   Well, this week's episode is all about wielding the basics when it comes to being a creative freelancer. We talk about the pitfalls, what we like to do and what we suck at. It can definitely feel like a battle sometimes but united we stand and divided we fall, and all that.   We raise our swords(mics) in respect to the voice of this weeks' Voiceover Performance of the week Hannah Gardiner! https://www.instagram.com/hannahgardinervoice   She smashed it out of the park with a powerful ad for Oxfam, nice one Hannah 👌   Join our freelance army and listen now wherever you get your podcasts.

Red flags at the ready, an episode not to be missed for those trying to keep their businesses and personal information safe.   Who's made it to the Gameshow host league?

    Season 2 Episode 3 - Rollercoaster

    **NOTICE**   DUE TO TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES WITH SOFTWARE WE HAD TO RESORT TO ZOOM AFTER 10 MINS.  APOLOGIES FOR THE LOWER QUALITY 🚨 NEW EPISODE! ‘Rollercoaster’ is now live! 🚨 To be a Voice Actor it takes: 10% talent 30% business and marketing60% steely mindset Ok, so we’ve made these figures up to illustrate our point, but this is what it can feel like sometimes. From the extreme highs of awards and winning coveted jobs, to the lows of just missing out on your dream role or a worryingly quiet couple of months. Then all of the smaller undulations in between; picking yourself up, dusting yourself off, driving yourself forward and trying not to vomit along the way. For this weeks’ episode we were extremely honoured to be joined by illustrious Voice Actors Annie Warburton and Anthony Hewson as we discuss the rollercoaster that is voice acting. We also go pretty off topic and Ant talks about his bottom for a while.  Definitely not an episode to be missed. Check out the episode wherever you like to listen to your podcast OR watch the mayhem on our YouTube channel!  If you’re enjoying the show please like and subscribe and share with all your VO mates x #voiceovercommunity #voiceactor #mentalhealth #goodenough #awards #vox2024

    Season 2 Episode 2 - Gimme 5

    🚨🚨Episode 2 - Gimme 5🚨🚨   Why Gimme 5?    Well! Michael started exploring blog ideas via ChatGPT and one thing it brought up was '5 Mistakes to Avoid When Hiring a Voiceover'  So naturally as working Voice Actors we thought we'd look into it and give you our hot take! We discuss the decline in cable TV viewership v. the increase in commercials via streaming platforms, and the potential impact on the voiceover industry. Michael also thinks Jen’s got her tea flask and picnic blanket packed for the Oasis reunion. 🙄 And as an episode first, we reveal this weeks’ voiceover read of the week! As always, get involved on the socials and don't forget each episode is now filmed, and you can find it on Youtube by following us at https://www.youtube.com/@OffAirVoiceoverPodcast  For voiceover enquiries you can find Michael directly at https://www.manchestervo.co.uk  & Jen at https://www.jenlawtonhunt.com  !!NOTICE!! The first 17mins and 30 Secs we had to revert to the backup Zoom audio as we had a problem after exporting, so apologies for the quality difference for the first half
