In this episode of The Making Wavs VO Podcast, we’re joined by the incredibly bright and talented voiceover veteran Caryn Clark, who brings 20 years of experience to an honest conversation about something many in the voiceover world face but will  rarely talk about... BURNOUT.

Caryn shares what contributed to her burnout, how it affected her mental health, and why stepping away from the mic has been one of the best decisions she’s ever made for herself and her career! She talks candidly about the pressure to constantly market yourself, the emotional toll of not booking any work, the growing impact of AI in the industry, and the importance of having a structured work schedule as a professional voice actor.

Her message? You’re not giving up by taking a break. Sometimes, the best thing you can do for yourself and your career is to get outside, leave the booth, and do something that’s not voiceover.

Tune in for a real, honest, and relatable conversation on balancing passion with self-care!
