    69: Money, money, money!

    This month we're diving into money with Ray Dodd. Money is a conversation topic that's often avoided, but money is essential to us all. So how does our upbringing, our experiences and social expectations impact our relationship with money and our money-making potential?Ray Dodd’s coaching is all about Money Mindset without the BS. Her work gives you the tools to break free from oppressive social expectations that are holding you back from reaching your full money-making potential.Ray’s very favourite place to be is infusing nuance and diversity into the conversation around money. As someone who understands the interconnectivity of culture and business, Ray helps her clients shift their beliefs and liberate themselves from conformity conditioning, paving the way towards making plenty of money without compromising who they are and what they believe matters.Social Links - https://www.instagram.com/ray_dodd/  https://www.raydodd.co.uk/the-pricing-flowchart For more information about The Voiceover Social visit: ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Voiceover Social Website⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email us ⁠⁠⁠⁠listen@thevosocial.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠See which events are coming soon⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Find your closest VO Social group⁠⁠⁠⁠   Find us online: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook Page⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook Group⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠     Podcast sponsored by ⁠⁠⁠⁠B Double E⁠⁠⁠⁠.

    67: The Veterans

    This month we interview 2 veterans of the Voiceover Industry in the UK. Paul Brown and Emma Clarke have over 80 years of experience between them, and they join us to share their wisdom. Emma Clarke is an award-winning voice actor and writer who works across multiple types of performance and media. She can be heard in radio and TV commercials, corporate presentations, toys, games, apps, public transport and almost anything that needs a voice. Her clients include Astra Zeneca, BBC, Bauer Media, Chevrolet, Classic FM, Coca Cola Enterprises, Global Media Group, Google, L'Oréal, KIA, Transport for London, Mercedes-Benz, Microsoft, Nike, Sky, Sony, Tesco, Toyota, Unilever, Virgin. She is best known as one of the Mind The Gap voices on London Underground, and played the part of the Starship Avalon in the Hollywood blockbuster movie 'Passengers' alongside Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt. She is also a PhD student at RNCM where she is researching how her background as a voice actor influences how she composes music. VO has been Paul’s sole source of income for decades, despite which he has a nagging suspicion that he’s been somehow ‘getting away with it’ for 46 years. After all, how can anyone get paid just for reading aloud into a microphone for that long without someone smelling a rat? In that time the world of audio recording has changed out of all recognition, but Paul has remained doggedly the same. He even uses the same microphone. And the same underwear. He doesn’t know what SEO is, can’t maintain a website, is hopeless at selling himself, thinks that computer games are still loaded from audio cassettes and is utterly baffled by the success of podcasts. Let’s find out how he’s still alive.
