  • EP 174 - with Deanna Johnston and THE GRIND of VO
    May 16 2025

    One Voice Award Niminated in 2025 3 times voice actor Deanna Johnston joins me today and it's all about the grind and keeping the faith although WE KNOW NOT the supposed outcome of all those emails and auditions. When it becomes TOO MUCH what do we do and how do we adjust and maintain? We talk to a friend. Deanna and I have been on this journey about the same amount of time and she had some interesting perspectives to share about audtions, marketing, online casting and Fiverr where she was "one of those people" making 5 figures monthly early on.

  • EP 173 - SAY IT AIN'T SO!
    May 12 2025

    You cannot use a USB mic...You must have agents... You cannot make 6 figures with your accent... SAY IT AIN'T SO!! Things I was told and things some assume can add up to bogging you down. Don't believe everything you hear or see and work it out for your self with someone you trust. All of this is leading up to OVC in August and my session covering accepting yourself as you. YOU can do most anything!

  • EP 172 - Understanding Broadcast Rates
    May 1 2025

    YOU have to study. YOU have to learn. YOU should know your rates and know YOUR WORTH as a voice actor when quoting broadcast work. It is COMPLICATED and I even use the GVAA daily. It is ALWAYS up on my screen because I also get confused and yes... sometimes have to ask for help! Do'nt leave a pile of cash on the table... you don't have to memorize it all but you need to know how to INTERPRET those rates!

    My pal Paul Schmidt has a great video course on rates you can get... visit https://vopro.pro/ to learn more
