This Instagram LIVE shows voice actors how to create social media content that keeps them top of mind with the right people. It’s not about instant sales or viral videos; it’s about being remembered.

Brandon shares strategies that have worked for him: clients mention it, new leads engage with it, and colleagues refer to him because a video stuck with them.

The session covers:

Mindset Reset: Understanding what social media is actually for as a voice actor who doesn’t want to be a full-time content creator.

Content Creation Unlocked: Generating endless, authentic ideas and using edutainment to create posts that resonate with the people who can hire you.

Live Demo: Brandon walks fellow VO actor Jenna Rose Stein through building a post in real time using their accounts, making the process clear, simple, and replicable.

Takeaways & Next Steps: Recap of the process so everyone leaves knowing what to do and feeling empowered to start experimenting.

Listeners will leave inspired, with actionable strategies to create authentic content that showcases their personal brand, highlights multiple aspects of their work, and keeps them top of mind with the people that matter most.
