    13177: I'm Sure They Mean Well, But...No.

    Hey there, hero!

    This episode is a quick reminder that there are a lot of ways to go about doing things in our business.

    Some are pretty good.

    Some are uh-MAZE-ing.

    But some...um, no. Just no.

    Can you see what's very wrong with the process I came across in the Meetup profile I talk about? Let me know in the comments below.

    13176: Ruts and Goal Trauma

    13176: Ruts and Goal Trauma

    Hey there, hero!

    It's easy to get into a rut. You get used to doing something, you're not challenged any longer, and it starts feeling monotonous.

    Even if your goal was to create a reliable ritual. It just gets old. You get stuck.

    Then Ajarae Coleman jumped in with a new concept.

    You try to shake things up, and strike out for something more challenging. Something new.

    And it doesn't quite work out.

    The feelings you have when you try something, fail at it, and reflect on the process can range from the thought that you learned something to "meh" to disappointment to outright sadness to..."goal trauma."

    (Yeah, I didn't know what that meant either, until I used the google to find out what Ajarae was on about.)

    Please discuss, once you've watched the episode. What's your go-to reaction when you try something and fail? Let me know in the comments below.

    13175: You Never Forget Your First Time

    13175: You Never Forget Your First Time

    Hey there, hero!

    The number one answer to the question I ask when I'm trying to gauge a student's concerns about learning, "What are you most worried about?" is so interesting.

    And we don't really think about that one moment, that one concern, that everyone in the world has also experienced. It's a universal.

    And if you give this momentous occasion a thought or two, it can really change your perspective on being a beginner.

    Or a "never tried it.".

    Or, at some point, an experienced professional.

    Do remember the moment you switched from "I've never done this" to "I know how to do this!"? What did that feel like? Let me know in the comments below.

    13174: Grammar Girl, Audiobook Narration and The Public Domain

    Hey there, hero!

    If you're as big a fan of language, expression, narration and audiobooks as I am, and if you care about proper usage and what is required to do your own public domain audiobook narration, this is the episode for you.

    I had a chance to spend some time with Mignon Fogarty, discussing all that and more.

    Enjoy this visit with one of my heroes, Grammar Girl.

    If you're a writer, and haven't grabbed VOHeroes or the ACX Master Class, and you want to learn how to narrate your own book, here's Grammar Girl's link to register: https://narrateyourownbook.com/grammar . Questions about grammar? Ask Mignon over at the Grammar Girl podcast site (https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/) Questions about audiobooks and the public domain titles you might be undertaking? Let me know in the comments below.

    13173: Overwhelmed By Excellent Choices?

    13173: Overwhelmed By Excellent Choices?

    Hey there, hero!

    Ever been in the situation where you have an abundance of great choices?

    An embarrassment of riches when it comes to solutions, any one of which would be great?

    Does it stop you from making a decision on which to choose?

    I mean, how often do you have a bunch of options...that are all good?

    Here's a hall pass for choosing any one of them that would work out for you.

    It's OK to succeed, even when it's surprising.

    Is it rare for you to have more than one good choice? How do you react to that awesome situation? Let me know in the comments below.

    13172: Know Your Brand, But Don't Let It Limit You

    13172: Know Your Brand, But Don't Let It Limit You

    Hey there, hero!

    Knowing your brand is essential, but once we determine the boundaries of our brand we might mistakenly misuse that knowledge.

    In this episode, I'm going to give you two examples around opportunities and your brand.

    Your brand can be your first filter, but then...I have a secret weapon for you. And it depends who is asking - if you're searching, or if someone is searching for you.

    You might be tempted to reject opportunities because "it's not my brand." My advice might run counter to that.

    Ever turn something  right off the bat because it wasn't your brand? Let me know in the comments below.

Best Voice Over Podcast

I began training under David H Lawrence XVII in the early 2000’s and his content was as amazing then as it is now. I have been a working voice over artist since then (2005?) and every time someone asks me “how did you get started in VO?” I ALWAYS point them to David. Whether it’s his online courses or this podcast, I always gain SO much valuable information about how to truly succeed in the world of voice overs. Also, he is full of wisdom and drops some great life lessons through his classes and podcasts. Highly recommend!
