Why Voice Actors Must Master This One Mindset Shift to Succeed


Listen Later

As a voice actor, the most powerful marketing tool you might be missing?

The stories you tell yourself.

In this episode, I open up about a frustrating situation I experienced—four months and $500 spent on a course, only to miss the final exam. But this episode isn’t about failure. It’s about perspective—and how choosing the right story can completely change your results in voice over and in life.

🎧 Whether you’re struggling to book, feeling stuck, or doubting your progress, this mindset shift could be the key to finally moving forward.

✅ What You’ll Learn:

  • Why the story you tell yourself directly impacts your VO career

  • How I reframed a personal setback into a financial win

  • The truth about marketing fear and how to change it

  • What I’m doing to break into documentary narration—and why I’m not giving up

  • How to use storytelling as a tool for motivation and consistency

    🎯 This episode is your reminder: you get to choose the narrative. Choose wisely.
