This week the VAI Coaches speak with Voice Over Actor and VO Strategist Tom Dheere. This espisode is all the business of the voice over business. It's easy to think of the voice over industry and yourself as a contract to contract, job to job employee but making the shift to seeing yourself as a business owner sets you up for success in having a long career as a voice over artists. This frame of mind also sets you apart from the influx of people who are trying this out because when the going gets tough, who you are as a business owner is what keeps you from quitting. We also continue the AI and Synhetic Voice conversation.
