If you've ever wondered whether in-person business networking is worth your time as a voiceover artist, this episode might just convince you it is.

This month we're joined by Liz Drury, a voiceover artist based in North Lincolnshire working with clients all over the world. Her voice has been used by some seriously well-known names – Hilton, JCB, Booking.com, Nestlé, Barnardo's and the Church of England among them – across everything from corporate videos and commercials to e-learning, explainer videos, telephone systems and museum tours. She's also the host of two podcasts: Small Business Big Network, which focuses on the world of networking, and Come Here!, a podcast about heritage attractions.

Liz is a genuine advocate for in-person business networking as a route to finding clients, and in this episode she shares exactly how she's made it work for her voiceover business – including how to walk into a room full of entrepreneurs and make them understand what you do and why they need you.

We chat about:

How Liz got into voiceover and the kinds of projects she works on

Where she finds work – and whether P2P platforms play a role

Why she rates in-person networking so highly, and what it offers that online can't

How to talk to corporate business owners about voiceover in a way that resonates

Practical advice for VOs who want to start showing up at networking events

Whether you're already attending networking meetings or you've been putting it off, Liz offers a refreshingly practical take on getting out there and building real relationships with potential clients.
