Everyday VOpreneur® with Marc Scott

I Wasn't A Commercial Voice Actor Until I Did This...


Listen Later

For years, I told myself I wasn’t a commercial voice actor.

Not because I couldn’t be… but because I wasn’t booking.

That story became my reality.

In this fireside chat, I’m breaking down the three things I did that completely changed that… and led to multiple commercial campaigns running at the same time across Canada.

If you’ve ever struggled in a genre, questioned your abilities, or felt stuck in your voice over career, this episode is for you.

I’ll walk you through:

• The mindset shift that changed everything
• How the right coaching made the difference
• Why I had to fall back in love with auditioning
• And the narratives that were quietly holding me back

Plus a bonus insight that made an immediate impact in the booth.

If you’re ready to stop overthinking and start booking, this one matters.
