Another VO Podcast!

Jake, Charles and Troy hook up in DALLAS for OVC and talk to few people! IMAGINE THAT!  All the fun of a VO Conference rolled into a podcast! Hang around at the end for the BEST closing EVER!!!!

This week we throw spaghetti and see what sticks!  From rates to "things have changed this year" what sticks for you?

Summer is in full swing and we are all feeling the CRUNCH for time, family, work and more. Jake and Alden have settled into their new positions with VERY DIFFERENT outcomes... Charles and Troy and swinging for the fences still in there full time and so... how has the first half of the year gone and WHAT IS IN STORE for the GROUP OF FOUR?  Today we cover the first half, second half plans and all the changes we are dealing with as 2024 goes all "second half".  We also talk about OVC24 where three of us will be there and we hope to do some live recording for the podcasts.  Also repping the podcast at the One Voice Awards Show is Charles with 2 nominations and Troy with 6!  We hpe to see you there in DALLAS August 8-11!

Nothing to share about VO this week but a call to unity for our country as we celebrate our freedoms....

WE ARE TAKING A BREAK for 2 weeks!  Catch up on the older episodes and enjoy your SUMMER VACATION!!!!

It came out awhile back and we touched on a few things here and there but today it's all about the NAVA survey. How many voice actors are there?  How many were sampled?  How accurate is this info??  Where do we fit? Where do YOU fit... and soon we will have three years of surveys to trend and see where the Covid Babies are... what? If you know you know.

Have a question for us? Send it to [email protected] and we will address it on the podcast. 

Sometimew we have to educate the client.  Usage, studio time, etc.  Do you need a contract? A rider? What did YOU do when they tried to use your project a second time and not pay?  This and more from the Gang of 4!

Think about it. How you "approach" most anything can heavily make a difference in the outcome. A positive approach can lead to a more positive outcome. Dread the task, the task sucks. Marketing, auditioning, networking... all affected by attitude. It's not easy, but controlling your mood and approach will definitely help you sudition BETTER and marlet BETTER. Tune up that attitude for better results!  We talk about our struggles with this same thing in our everyday business.

This week Jake and Charles are back and Jake leads a great conversation related to how Charles treats his clients.  Chuck Booker... as we fondly call Charles...is a people person and knows how to set the table to hold a client close.  Learn from a guy who trained execs at American Airlines on leadership just how to take these corporate tricks into your VO business to make clients LOVE you for not only your voice!

Troy and Alden are in the boat this week alone RIDING THE WAVES and share about what they do when it is slow and how to plan for the later. Jake is on vacation and Charles is on the hustle....we will get back to 4 next week!
