You are a business, act like it.
Let me preface this with, “I do not consider myself an expert!” I have had experiences in my lifetime, and I have made some observations. My thoughts and opinions are based on what I have learned, what I have seen and how I perceive all of that to fit together. So If I say somethingContinue reading “You are a business, act like it.”
Patience and Perseverance
I heard a friend of mine the other day say, “All goals are achieved incrementally.” What he meant by that is most goals, there are a few exceptions, are completed in increments. This could be done daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly; but always incrementally. The important thing is that you keep moving forward and doingContinue reading “Patience and Perseverance”
Managing Voice Over with a Family
Let me preface this with, I am not an expert. I am a full-time teacher that is slowly working on creating my voice over business, and by slowly, I mean at a snail’s pace.

Becoming A Voiceover Takes Effort
The third installment in my “Becoming A Voiceover” series focuses around a big misconception that I had. This is also something that I have noticed from other people that I see inquiring about voiceover in Facebook groups and other forums.

Becoming a Voice Over Takes Money
When I started looking into becoming a voice over, one of the misconceptions I had was that it would be inexpensive. As a musician, I already had some of the “equipment” that I would need. A computer, a microphone, an interface to connect microphone to computer, and recording software. Now, in all actuality, many wouldContinue reading “Becoming a Voice Over Takes Money”
