I have 3 podcasts.... why?  What good is a podcast, and why do I do them?  Here's your answers....

I thought VO was a side hustle... well it is for some but some of us that do VO full time also do some other things to keep the wheels turning!  What things can you do???

There is a difference but BOTH can be a really good thing!

Episode numbers DO NOT matter and we don't care.... but we skip to 112 with the AMAZING Alice Everdeen who a few years ago embarked on a dual journey to not only beccome a successful Voice Actor using Fiverr for a springboard but also to live "on the road" in a converted school bus.  Just a month or so ago I toured the BEAST while at VO Atlanta where she was a dual presenter and we finally met in person after a few years of online friendship and got to hang out... fish tacos and all.... ughhh! 

Alice has defied the norm, yet maintained top shelf clients, built a business OFF of Fiverr and continues to share her marketing strategies through her new venture shared at VO Atlanta.  So grab a seat on the bus and listen to the journey and get some insight with Alice Everdeen... whether we like it or not, she's made it work for her and has ZERO regrets and is living life to the fullest!

Failure Syndrome? Is it a thing?  "I'm not good enough" becomes "I am a total failure" ??  Let's talk about it....

It's part of lifes cycle.... and this week as we lost our treasured "Sammy Doo" it made me reflect on "learning" in new environments.  Sammy had to come to a farm and learn the other animals, the neighbors, but then as we added "Gracie" he showed her the ropes.  Like when we get a new job, we learn and maybe one day WE are training the new hires.  VO is a little different, but you also have a learning curve and it takes time...but man is it nice when you feel like you are starting to get it AND you can pay it forward... Let's talk about those cycles today!  

This week its 2 "PODDIES" talking shop as I am joined by the VO Coffee Shop host Andrew Morrison of Atlanta, GA.  Shop talk? Probably... but join us to learn more about his journey in VO and more about him as a person!

THE GOOD NEWS IS LOUISE PORTER SENT IN A GREAT NEW INTRO!!  And I laid that FUNKY MUSIC right on it and I really liked it.  So thankful for all of you who help me... Jake Sanders, Charles Bain, Dana Ramoni (Morgan Freeman), Louise Porter, Liz Atherton, James Brown and Rudy Abell.  YOU GUYS ROCK and I appreciate youall so much.  I love having the variety to use each week and its always a HARD decision.

THIS WEEK????  Thanks to my GREAT IDEA to try Riverside again I have NO PODCAST GUEST this week however Jim McCarthy gets a mention as we had fin talking BUT we will reschedule...meaning yours truly takes the rants of this week and rolls it into 30 minutes of REDNECK BABBLE and OPINIONS and maybe a glint of something you needed to hear.  My apologies... but as good as tech is at times it seems to let us down QUITE A BIT!!!  Anyway, on we go!  

This week we are talking THE SIMPLICITY OF YOUR AUDIO with Don Baarns who has a deep background in music and audio and he explains how we need to "set it and forget it" and stop over-complicating things and learn to TRUST the systems in place once they are set and stop over thinking... which after moving to my new studio last week... PERFECT TIMING!!!!  Learn about his approach and why he feels StudioOne is the most overlooked DAW and why he loves it.

The VO Community is just the best... right?  And this guy is one of my favorites!  Brad Hyland came from the corporate world to chase a dream he'd had since childhood and has for seven years been a full time VO and now is launching his coaching (website coming soon).  Brad has been very successful and teaches how to reach the authentic, real you... which is key to most reads that are desired today. Brad talks about his love for "Rudolph" and shares about his recent move to be closer to his kids and 3 grandkids... one just born!  CONGRATS!!!  Brad also speaks about the types of work he books most and what he enjoys most.
