Marc Scott: Wisdom From The VOPreneur


Listen Later

Marc Scott knows voiceover, and how to market voiceover. He wrapped up his radio career in 2011 but shared his early fascination with radio and how he got his start in the industry through a high school co-op, and details his early career working at various radio stations across Ontario.

Marc pivoted to voiceover in 2011 after being downsized from his final radio job. He emphasizes the importance of marketing and business skills in building a successful voiceover career, and outlines his four-year trajectory from making $15,000 a year to moving to 6 figures by making some smart decisions.

The discussion delves into the risks of relying solely on online casting platforms, the importance of establishing fair rates, and the necessity of coaching and training before creating a solid demo. Marc also shares the impact his podcast has had on his coaching business, and provides advice for new voice actors looking to invest in their career.
