One of the big reasons why voice actors don't use social media is because of criticism from total strangers. Someone either shares something, or drops a comment, and you immediately second guess everything you're doing on social media, or assume you're doing it all wrong.
We're giving too much power to these total strangers.
In this episode, I talk about the importance of remembering who your audience is, tailoring your content to that audience, remaining authentically you, and ignoring the haters, who are probably going to hate, no matter what you do!
Let this episode serve as a reminder that success isn’t about pleasing everyone, but about building genuine connections with the people who matter.

Odds are, if you're working as a voice actor, you've got at least one dream you're working towards in the industry. Maybe it's landing a specific client. Booking a certain type of job. Or finding success in a particular genre of the industry.
For Sarah Kramer, the goal has been the same for years. She wanted to work in animation and more specifically, she wanted to work on a Star Wars project.
That dream became a reality when she landed a role on Star Wars; Young Jedi Adventures.
In this episode, Sarah shares her story of how she made it possible, despite many odds being stacked against her.
Persistence, Patience, Perseverance, and maybe channeling the power of The Force. ;)

Can A.I. and Human voice actors work together? Is there a path forward where they coexist in the space? I guess only time will truly answer that question, but for now, we can look at what's happening in the real world.
The vast majority of VO is still human. Yay!
Some VO is being taken over by A.I. Boo!
But what if there's a new form of VO being created that's a collaborative effort between humans and A.I.? Well that's interesting!
In this episode, Erin Culpepper shares her story of working on a groundbreaking toy project. A toy that could become one of the hottest toys of the holiday season (in my opinion). And it's, perhaps, a case study in how human voice actors and A.I. might work together.
Listen with an open mind. I think there's lessons for us all to learn.

Improv is a fascinating technique in the performance world that some people love, many people fear, and, I suspect, many simply don't fully understand.
I admit, myself, that I feel into a combination of the fear and lack of understanding category. Until this interview with Rebecca Haugh.
Rebecca is a gifted voice actor and coach who teaches voice actors the art of improv.
If improv is something you've never really explored or considered before, I strongly urge you to listen to this episode with an open mind. You might just find improv could be the catalyst to leveling up your comfort and performance level in the booth!
CORRECTION: In this episode I mistakenly referred to one of Rebecca's clients as Fiverr. It should have been Pfizer. I apologize for their error. ~ Marc

Ah yes... the conversational voice over read. Or is that, the conversational NON ANNOUNCER voice over read?
Either way, we see the direction in pretty much every single audition that comes into our studios. Doesn't seem to matter what genre. It's what every casting director, agent, producer and creative director on planet earth is looking for.
So how do we deliver it?
Enter Hugh Klitzke.
With over 125,000 auditions directed, Hugh knows conversational. So much that he branded his entire business after it!
In this episode, Hugh digs deep into the conversational read, and the end result is a virtual Master Class on the subject.
