There are metric tons of bad mistakes you can make in voice over. You can have no training or be undertrained. You can have a bad recording space or bad equipment. You can do your own demos. You can have a bad website.

All of those are fixable. No training? Start training. Bad recording space, bad equipment, bad audio? Totally fixable. Call Uncle Roy, George The Tech, Jordan Reynolds, or Tim Tippets. Bad demos? Work with a reputable demo producer. Bad website, work with a pro designer.

But there’s one mistake that is not nearly as fixable. Make this mistake and it will derail your voice over career for years.

What is it?

Takeaways:

Working for low-ball rates devalues your work and attracts demanding clients.

Voiceover is a service, and clients should value the collaboration and the end product.

Choose value-driven clients and build a business based on quality and professionalism.

Beware of coaches who promise quick success; building a successful voiceover business takes time and dedication.
