Voice Talents: Go Outside and Play! (and Faffcamp)
For mental and physical health, make room for actual physical contact with other real live humans - and the world outside our sound-dampened spaces. Conferences like Faffcamp, and/or get outside and play!
The Full-Time Eclectic Voice Talent: Many Eggs, Several Baskets
When I created my Voice-Over website with the amazing folks at Artist Upgrade, we wrestled with the age-old question (well, for voice talents, anyway): “Just” a Voice Talent, or? More? I opted for the latter. Yes, I am a full-time voice talent. My VO clients are my highest work priority. If you book me, the […]
Fruits vs. Laurels:The Balanced VO Life
Running a voice-over business is not for sissies. Nor is it for dreamers who don't take steps toward the dream. We know we can't just rest on our laurels...but at times, we do need to enjoy the fruits of our labors.
Ask, Show Up, Follow Up: Old-Fashioned Marketing Still Works
Take a look at your last ten voice-over jobs – or, if you are just starting out, think about another business venture you had that was successful, or even your solid friendships.

Frequent Faffers: Why We Can't Wait for Faffcon 5

Voiceovers: That's What I Like About You
So you wanna be in voice overs? Yes. Well, read up, person with that lovely voice. Just check the archives at voiceoverXtra, Edge Studio, or any of the number of fab VO blogs out there, and you'll get the truth: becoming a professional voice over talent takes lots of training, hard work, marketing, creating business goals, scheduling action steps, investments of time and money, and an effort to always think ahead.
The Voiceover Community...Faffcon and more
Increasingly, my voiceover work is done from home - and so many others in this business (and others, I know) are finding the same trend affecting them. Very cool to send files to India (what's the time difference again?), but also so nice to work in my own back yard - which in this case includes Connecticut, New York and partsof Massachusetts.
Voice Talents, Live and in Person
Voicing a website narration in your pajamas (does anyone really do that? I have to be dressed to work if you count t-shirt and shorts as dressed): great. Meeting people online who also get paid to talk (well, to communicate): really helpful. Connecting with these online friends and new VO talents, for real, in person?: priceless.
