This episode, I am DELIGHTED to have accomplished Voice Actor and entrepreneur, Dani States, on the podcast to talk about running a voiceover business, how imperative auditioning is, and how to keep track of all of it in the Voiceoverview app. Dani has nearly 20 years of corporate marketing experience prior to jumping into voiceover in 2013.

Seeing the need for a voiceover specific platform to help voice actors understand and grow their business, Dani applied her business and marketing experience to create an intuitive, easy to use platform that helps voice actors set goals, track to those goals and build their business. And Vocieoverview was born. Voiceoverview is a business tracking and management platform built specifically for voice actors, producers, and coaches. In addition to offering a clear and simple to use CRM system, VOICEOVERVIEW provides insight into key business metrics like Audition to Booking Ratio, Top 10 Clients, Monthly and Yearly Revenue Trends, Expenses and so much more. It also offers invoicing integration with the accounting platforms most used by voice actors like Wave, Quickbooks, and Freshbooks.Truly, it's the one tool I continuously choose for my voiceover business and it’s ridiculously affordable for Voice Actors at any level. VOV has been nominated 4 years running for the One Voice Awards and with all of its features and super easy to use interface, I am not in the least bit surprised. To get started or learn more about Voiceoverview, check out the link in the show notes.

This episode is chock full of valuable information, so be sure to listen all the way to the end - you don’t want to miss Dani’s the golden nuggets of wisdom and advice.

This week’s episode first aired last year, but as I’ve mentioned, I’m moving content around and I wanted to re-share this interview with you because It’s with the creator of a project I've been working on for 5 years this fall and it’s very near and dear to my heart because I consider it to be my first official voiceover project.
