How do you go from your very first voice over audition to booking more than 150 game credits AND get multiple award nominations and award wins?

In this episode of the Everyday VOpreneur Podcast, Ian Russell pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to succeed in video game VO.

Together, Marc and Ian dig into:

  • Why indie games can lead to big career breakthroughs

  • How awards and nominations create credibility with developers

  • The mindset and daily hustle that sustain long-term success

  • The importance of improv, intuition, and acting instincts

  • What every VO should know about building relationships in gaming

    This isn’t theory — it’s the truth about the grind, the hustle, and the opportunities in video game voice acting.
