Tariffs are here. Will they impact the voice over industry? I didn't bring J. Michael Collins on the podcast to talk tariffs and trade wars, but it just so happened that the day we recorded, that was the story of the day. So we tackled it.

We didn't stop there. We also talked trends voice actors need to watch in 2025 including shifts in commercial and political, the new "it read" that seems to be booking at the moment. How shifting demographics are opening up more opportunities for certain voice actors who may have felt a little left behind in recent years.

A lot of ground is covered in this chat. We even had time to get to VO Atlanta and some insights into this years conference.

If you're a voice actor looking to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving industry, you're going to want to dig into this one with a notebook!

Every so often I have a conversation with a voice actor who introduces me to genre of voice over I had never really considered before. That happened with Rafael Neve when he reached out with an idea for the podcast.

Rafael has built a thriving, full-time income to support himself and his family from YouTube Dubbing. He even hired his mother to work with him he's so busy!

In this in-depth conversation, Rafael pulls back the curtain on all the potential Youtube Dubbing offers. He holds nothing back with advice for differentiating yourself from other talent in the space, how to find the work, who to collaborate with and so much more.

This episode is particularly impactful if you're a bilingual talent, but as Rafael points out, there are opportunities for anyone who is willing to go look for them.
