Hi friends! Happy Thursday!

Hi friends! Happy Thursday! Wait - it is Thursday right?

Today, I've got on a great guest for you. If you don't know him, you should! His name is J. Michael Collins. He's been at voiceovers for over 25 years, so he was the perfect person to talk to about how to navigate being a voiceover talent during this strange time.

Many of you have questions - how do you market yourself, how do you find work, do you pivot? I think you're going to find lots of valuable nuggets in this one, so definitely take a listen!

Hi friends! Happy Thursday (in case you've lost track - like me!)!

I'm not sure about you - but I'm exhausted trying to balance it all. Being a working parent is one thing, but being a working parent while also teaching your child? Oh boy!

So, I did what I always do in times like this - lean on you, my voiceover community. Today, I chat with Carrie Olsen, Darrell Brown and Christy Harst with how they're handling the day to day of parenting and working with this new teaching curveball thing thrown into the mix!

Hi friends! Happy Thursday! Of course - it's not your typical Thursday.

As you may know, we were set last week to continue talking about tech in voiceovers. But once I realized how much COVID-19 was impacting all of our lives, I had to regroup. I knew I wasn't comfortable operating like it was business as usual when our lives were being turned upside down. It didn't seem right to not address the elephant in the room.

So for the next month or so, I'm going to be focusing on how we - as voiceover talent and parents - can shift our focus to teach our kids, how we market ourselves (can we market ourselves?) and what niches should we look at, if we choose to work right now?

I'm talking about it all this month and you will not want to miss it.

Hi friends! Happy Thursday!

It's our first guest of the new month, and he's hear to talk tech! This guest wears many hats; he's the owner of a studio, an audio engineer, a voiceover talent and teacher - John McClain!

Listen in as John and I chat about the difference between sound proofing and sound control, plus hear his top three "musts" when setting up a professional voiceover set up!

Hi friends! Happy Thursday!

I can't believe it's already March! Spring will be here before we know it and I, for one, am ready!

With a new month, comes a new theme for me to explore on the podcast. This month's topic? Technology - as it relates to voiceovers, of course. Technology is the driving force in voiceovers; studios have it and need it, and these days, so does talent.

I'm going to be honest with you - tech has ALWAYS been my Achilles heel. I get the feeling some of you might struggle too, and that's what this month is all about!

Listen in as I talk through how the relationship between VO talent and technology has changed over time, as well as talk through some of my personal struggles with tech.
