The decision to go full time in voice over or not may be the biggest decision you make in your career, and often one not easily made. There are so many things to think about and consider. It can be super confusing, overwhelming, and deflating – if you let it.

When I had this decision to make, I didn’t ask myself all these questions and it almost put me out of business.

Today, I’m going to give you my checklist of the crucial questions you’ll want to ask and answer when you’re considering going full time in voiceover, so that it doesn’t bite you in the ass, like it did me.

Takeaways:

Evaluate savings and emergency funds to ensure financial stability during dry spells.

Consider health insurance options and make informed decisions about coverage.

Examine the impact of going full-time on stress levels and mental well-being.
