    Episode 8 - 'Hustle' Ft. Carla Terry

    🚨Episode 8: “Hustle” is now live!🚨
     
    In this penultimate Episode of Season 1, we’re thrilled to have the bundle of positive energy that is Carla Terry (@Voicedbycarla) join us for some VO chat (and dish out a bit of motivation)
     
    If you know or follow Carla on the socials you’ll be familiar with her bright, fun and friendly style as well as sharing some great BTS of her Voice of God events. 
     
    But taking the time to chat to us, Carla talks a little more about her strict routines that help her stay consistent with Marketing, we all talk about our experiences on using LinkedIn where Carla shares some valuable insight into ways to use it as a freelancer, and of course tells us all about her many many years doing the fascinating Voice of God work, including her stint as a presenter on late night tv….
     
    We hope you enjoy this penultimate episode and as always, thank you to our listeners and supporters, we can’t tell you how much we appreciate it

    Episode 7 - Survive 'n' Thrive Ft.Susie Valerio

    It was an absolute pleasure to have @susievalerio join us on this week’s episode.  Susie is a multilingual award winning storytelling voice artist, , experienced casting and production pro at @soundcutsltd, and all round bloody legend. 
    As a Casting Director in video games, we talk about what it's like to be on the other side, a bit about AI and how going global could help you book alot more work....
    We created this podcast to help voiceovers feel connected through some honest banter and said that this wasn’t necessarily the place to come to learn, well apologies we were wrong. We’ve learnt something from every one of our guests and never more so than from Susie.
    We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we did recording it. Let us know!
