Charles Bain is a stage actor and on screen actor living in Warner Robbins, GA.  He is from Alabama and way back in 2015 he decided to pursue VO. Wait, this is 2021... and you said he JUST STARTED?  Correct.  Through trial and error, he put things on hold then re-started in 2020.  His journey is VERY DIFFERENT... and hopefully this conversation might help some of you "slow down" and take the long way!

Voice over is a passion, not a hobby or "another side job to make a buck".  There are people getting in every week, asking the same questions.  Not to hurt your feelings or make one enemy... but I will tell you LIKE IT IS... 

Many of our VO Lifers know Mike and also know he has set the Fiverr format on fire hitting his goals for TRS in only 9 months! Many wonder what his secret was, how did he do it... and he is going to tell you and share what he did to get to where he is but you'll be surprised.

Louise Porter and Alice Everdeen are straight up GOOD at what they do and they are a lot of fun to talk to.  Enjoy some insight into these 2 ladies careers and hear their samples of just how good they are!  Lots of fun in a bit longer podcast this week but hey... I bet you enjoy every minute!

I juat missed you all and needed to talk... thanks for being there!  LOL !  Damn is it slow or what?  And hot.....

Dane Scott.  You know him! The Gig Doctor! The Coach!  Dane shares a wealth of knowledge with Fiverr users daily through his help but there's more you didn't know about his background!  Plus he also understands why some people just don't like Fiverr or want it around.  Enjoy a conversation with the Gig Doctor!  Stay til the end!

Thanks for the great ideas on episodes... today I touch (barely) on is the conversational trend going away or is it still the number one... it is NEVER going away!  Pulling back is the expectation... way back!  Plus a lot of random babbling this week on things being slow for vacation time and what I do when it is slow.

Multi-talented VO Brad Grochowski joins me today to talk about his first year and his different approach to VO.  Brad does lots of long narration and audiobooks bringing a different look at how he plans to grow his business.  He also is a performer in a band plus graduated from the theatre.  A man of many talents living in Baltimore with his family... enjoy this look into yet another peer and what he is doing in VO!

There are so many places to market your VO business and being a NEW voice artist you may be overwhelmed at all of it and why not?  Fiverr, Upwork, Voquent, Mandy, Voices 123, Voices dot com, Cast Voices and there are more.  Don't drown, slow down! And I apologize in advance for the "character" rant and getting off track... it's just what I do best... lose my train of thought!!  Thank God VO's are scripted cause this show..... AIN'T!!!!!

Auditions.  If you are doing them, are you winning?  If you're not you may need to SLOW DOWN and self direct more.  How?  Today's episode is all about how I do it based on some coaching and research I have done.  Does it work? I can say my booking ration on Voices went from 74:1 to 52:1 in 90 days.  That's all due to coaching, workshops and when I have my senses... following these steps.  Do I ever cold read...I shouldn't but yep... however these steps help me greatly and I have to discipline myself to do it.  I hope it helps you as well.
