What would you like to put on your Wish List for Santa Claus? Maybe a new microphone? A new interface? Some other voice over studio upgrade? George the Tech has plenty of ideas for you if you're trying to decide what you'd like to ask for this holiday season.

Tech splurges can enhance studio setups but should be researched. Sound Check service helps evaluate audio quality and processing. Investing in quality tools can save time and improve results.

One of the big reasons why voice actors don't use social media is because of criticism from total strangers. Someone either shares something, or drops a comment, and you immediately second guess everything you're doing on social media, or assume you're doing it all wrong. We're giving too much power to these total strangers. In this episode, I talk about the importance of remembering who your audience is, tailoring your content to that audience, remaining authentically you, and ignoring the haters, who are probably going to hate, no matter what you do! Let this episode serve as a reminder that success isn’t about pleasing everyone, but about building genuine connections with the people who matter.

Embrace your uniqueness and connect with your audience.

Odds are, if you're working as a voice actor, you've got at least one dream you're working towards in the industry. Maybe it's landing a specific client. Booking a certain type of job. Or finding success in a particular genre of the industry. For Sarah Kramer, the goal has been the same for years. She wanted to work in animation and more specifically, she wanted to work on a Star Wars project. That dream became a reality when she landed a role on Star Wars; Young Jedi Adventures. In this episode, Sarah shares her story of how she made it possible, despite many odds being stacked against her.  Persistence, Patience, Perseverance, and maybe channeling the power of The Force. ;) CONNECT WITH SARAH KRAMER Sarah Kramer Website - https://sarahkramervoiceovers.com Sarah Kramer on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sarahkrameractor Sarah Kramer on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SarahKramerVoiceOvers Sarah Kramer on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahkrameractor   Young Jedi Adventures -  Watch on DIsneyPlus   Marc Scott on Instagram - https://instagram.com/marcscott RESOURCES FOR VOICE ACTORS * Voice Over Marketing Playbook Visit https://voiceovermarketingplaybook.com * The VOpreneur Guide to Testimonials Visit https://vopreneur.com/testimonials * Get an instant $25 credit when you sign up for VoiceZam Visit https://voicezam.com/marcscott * For voice over services: Visit https://marcscottvoiceover.com * Want VOpreneur Swag?

That's what the entire concept of VOpreneur is all about.

Can A.I. and Human voice actors work together? Is there a path forward where they coexist in the space? I guess only time will truly answer that question, but for now, we can look at what's happening in the real world. The vast majority of VO is still human. Yay! Some VO is being taken over by A.I. Boo! But what if there's a new form of VO being created that's a collaborative effort between humans and A.I.? Well that's interesting! In this episode, Erin Culpepper shares her story of working on a groundbreaking toy project. A toy that could become one of the hottest toys of the holiday season (in my opinion). And it's, perhaps, a case study in how human voice actors and A.I. might work together. Listen with an open mind. I think there's lessons for us all to learn.

Entrepreneurship is crucial for voice actors to thrive in the industry. Marketing is often viewed negatively, but it can be reframed as offering value. Persistence in marketing is key; relationships take time to build. Coaching should set realistic expectations for voice actors. Complacency can kill a voice over career; continuous learning is essential. The audition process requires resilience and a love for the craft. Daily routines should focus on nurturing existing relationships and finding new leads. Technology, like CRM systems, can greatly enhance business management.

Improv is a fascinating technique in the performance world that some people love, many people fear, and, I suspect, many simply don't fully understand.   I admit, myself, that I feel into a combination of the fear and lack of understanding category. Until this interview with Rebecca Haugh.   Rebecca is a gifted voice actor and coach who teaches voice actors the art of improv.   If improv is something you've never really explored or considered before, I strongly urge you to listen to this episode with an open mind. You might just find improv could be the catalyst to leveling up your comfort and performance level in the booth!   CORRECTION: In this episode I mistakenly referred to one of Rebecca's clients as Fiverr. It should have been Pfizer. I apologize for their error. ~ Marc CONNECT WITH REBECCA HAUGH Rebecca Haugh Website - https://lovethatrebecca.com VO Improv Website - https://voimprov.com Rebecca Haugh Instagram - https://instagram.com/vo_improv   Marc Scott on Instagram - https://instagram.com/marcscott RESOURCES FOR VOICE ACTORS * Voice Over Marketing Playbook Visit https://voiceovermarketingplaybook.com * The VOpreneur Guide to Testimonials Visit https://vopreneur.com/testimonials * Get an instant $25 credit when you sign up for VoiceZam Visit https://voicezam.com/marcscott * For voice over services: Visit https://marcscottvoiceover.com * Want VOpreneur Swag?

Ah yes... the conversational voice over read. Or is that, the conversational NON ANNOUNCER voice over read?

Understanding the audience is crucial for a successful read. Scripts are rarely written conversationally, making interpretation essential. Perspective is more important than just vocal sound in voice over. Multiple takes can lead to a deeper understanding of the script. Imagination plays a key role in making scripts sound genuine. Better casting direction can improve audition outcomes. Acting workshops can enhance voice acting skills.

Building a successful online presence takes time, effort, and a combination of luck, hard work, and talent. Having a large social media following can open up opportunities for collaborations and monetization. Be prepared for failures and the need to pivot and rebrand, and understand that success may take time. Embrace social media as an essential part of being a voice actor and use it to build an audience and differentiate yourself from AI technology. Even a targeted audience of a few thousand can bring value and opportunities.

In an effort to be less annoying, what if you're costing your voice over business thousands of dollars in potential lost revenue?  Even worse... what if your narratives are all wrong and you're costing yourself that lost revenue for no good reason at all?

Reach refers to the total number of unique users exposed to content, while impressions represent the total number of times content is displayed. Organic reach, which is the reach without paid promotion, has significantly decreased over time on various social media platforms. Algorithms reward engagement, so it is crucial to focus on generating genuine engagement on social media posts. Strategies to increase engagement include asking questions, inviting readers to share their experiences, requesting feedback, and inviting people to direct messages. Targeted engagement is more valuable than high reach, as reaching the right audience is essential for effective communication and achieving desired outcomes.

When I decided I wanted to redo this VOpreneur logo this year, there was one thing I was certain of. I was working with a human. With the previous logo, I used an online design service and it was ok. But this time, I really wanted / needed to work through the process with a human. That's when I found Katie Sinkowski online. Working with her on the VOpreneur logo process was incredibly insightful and somewhat therapeutic for me. She helped me translate a jumble of ideas and concepts in my brain into a logo that told a better story of the VOpreneur brand. In this episode, I walk through the logo design process with Katie. We talk design, color theory, psychology, trends, fonts and so much more. If you're in the market for a logo, or thinking of redoing the one you've got, this episode is going to be incredibly helpful for you.

Working with a human designer makes the logo design process easier and more enjoyable. Color plays a significant role in brand perception and should be chosen carefully. A logo should reflect the client's brand and speak on their behalf when they're not present. AI can be used as a tool in graphic design, but it cannot replace the expertise and creativity of a human designer. Considerations in design include color, consistency, and the use of print materials.

Most people, particularly most voice actors, don't get overly excited when you mention something like data analysis. We've got quite enough to do already to run our businesses as VOpreneurs. However, there's a lot of information that can be gleaned from data. Data that can help us make better informed decisions. Data that can help us figure out where to focus our efforts (or not focus our efforts). Data that can point us in a better direction. In this episode, David Cui Cui, voice actor and Data Analyst, shares insights with Marc Scott and a number of different ways looking at data can help voice actors run their businesses more efficiently and successfully.

Interpreting and using data effectively is key, as data alone does not provide answers or solutions.

Book Your Consult KEY TAKEAWAYS Medical narration is a broad genre that includes various subgenres such as medical commercials, corporate scripts, anthem scripts, explainers, e-learning, mechanism of action and disease animations, ISI, and medical device. Understanding the structure, unique words, and context of each script is crucial in delivering an effective medical narration. Improv skills can be beneficial in narration, helping voice actors feel comfortable, be flexible, and get out of their heads. Having a medical background can be an advantage in medical narration, but it doesn't guarantee success and it isn't a requirement. Skills needed for medical narration include sounding intelligent, understanding complex scripts, and being able to interpret and deliver medical terminology accurately. When creating a medical narration demo, it's important to showcase range, accuracy, and the ability to handle different types of medical content. Medical narration continues to be a lucrative genre, as the demand for accurate and human-delivered medical information remains high.

Maybe Online Casting sites don't hate you after all? We may hate the algorithms and the business practices and the Terms of Use on some of these sites, but what if that's not the real reason you're not booking and finding success with these platforms? Brad Hyland is a very successful voice actor, and online casting is one of the places he's booking consistently. He reached out after the "Online Casting Sites Hate You" episode and said he wanted to make a counterpoint. I welcomed his perspective and knew I'd learn something.

Online casting sites have been taking advantage of voice actors for years. How do we respond? By continuing to fork over membership fees. These same casting sites are only getting worse in their practices. Part of me feels like they're just testing the boundaries. "How much can we get away with before the voice actors catch on and take action?" Well, apparently they can get away with a lot! From extortion level commissions to punishing algorithms to terms of use asking for everything but your first born child, the only thing that stays the same is the membership fees keep getting paid and voice actors keep letting sites get away with it. So who's to blame? The online casting sites? Or the voice actors themselves?

Book Your Consult KEY TAKEAWAYS The 'People You May Know' feature on the LinkedIn profile page is a helpful tool for finding new leads, but its effectiveness depends on how you use LinkedIn for your voice over business. LinkedIn now limits free users to five personal notes per month, but you can still send connection requests without a personal note and follow up with a message after the request is accepted. Consider upgrading to a premium LinkedIn profile to access AI capabilities that can assist with messaging, content creation, and personalized messages for celebrations. Hashtags on LinkedIn are being phased out as AI technology is used to determine the content of posts and push them to the right audience. Focus on including relevant keywords in your posts instead. Posting external links on LinkedIn can reduce organic reach, so consider uploading videos and content natively to the platform to maximize visibility. LinkedIn is testing a video feed feature, making it a potential platform for video creators to explore and share their content.

Book Your Consult Key Takeaways Taking care of one's health is important for overall well-being and can positively impact voice over performance. Authentic and conversational voice over reads are trending in the industry. Voice actors should focus on channeling authenticity and creating a story in their performances. Avoid sounding robotic or formulaic in voiceover work to stand out and connect with the audience. E-learning has evolved to become more engaging and conversational, with a focus on creating human-like voices to keep learners interested and motivated. Voice actors can embrace AI technology by adapting it for their business, offering both their acting voice and a protected synthetic voice to clients. Engaging and human-like voices are crucial in corporate narration, as they help maintain the audience's attention and effectively deliver the intended message. While AI voices have made significant advancements, there is still skepticism and a lack of trust in their authenticity and quality.

In this conversation, Marc Scott chats with the V123 Pros, Katherine Tole and Natasha Marchewka. They address issues such as the relationship between voice actors and online casting platforms, the importance of understanding the Voice123 algorithm, and the effectiveness of upgrading membership tiers. They also discuss the role of audition Likes in improving visibility and the importance of strategic auditioning. The conversation highlights the need for voice actors to adapt to changes in the industry and stay informed about the latest trends and features of online casting platforms. The V123 Pros also dig into keywords and tagging, search optimization, AI on Voice123 and much more.

Book Your Consult Key Takeaways from this Episode Upgrading membership tiers may not necessarily improve a voice actor's ranking or percentage on Voice123. The number of likes and the ratio of liked auditions to total auditions play a significant role in a voice actor's success on Voice123. Voice actors should be strategic in their auditioning, focusing on their strengths and targeting specific genres and voice styles. Understanding the Voice123 algorithm and using relevant keywords and filters can improve a voice actor's visibility on the platform. Stay updated on the latest trends to ensure your samples are relevant and appealing to clients. Use keywords that people are actually searching for. Choose the membership tier that aligns with your language, demographic, and voice style to optimize your auditions and opportunities.

Imagine my surprise when I showed up to watch The Famous Online Casting Panel at VO Atlanta recently and found Jay O'Connor, the Interim CEO of Voices.com sitting on stage preparing to take questions. The panel did NOT disappoint. Thank you, J. Michael Collins for organizing it, and the Anna Collins for making it a part of the VO Atlanta lineup. A lot of voice actors have some pretty strong feelings about Voices[dot]com (myself included), and most of those feelings are not positive. Previous management seemingly did everything humanly possible to alienate the voice over community... their very customers... through unethical business practices. Many top talent abandoned the site, and representatives from Voices[dot]com were basically ousted from participating in industry events. Is that about to change? I'll confidently say, a first step has been taken. In this episode, I share a few thoughts and takeaways from the panel, along with a cautious optimism for changes to come that started with an apology to the community from the CEO.

When you earn your living with your voice, it only makes sense that you should do everything possible to protect it. But many voice actors aren't doing enough, if anything.

Why aren't Sports Promos accessible to female voice actors when the statistics show sizeable female audiences? (44% NFL / 47% MLB / 37% NHL / 37% MLS) That's the question Christy Harst is asking, and it's the mission she's taken on for herself. She says females can't kick down the door to this genre because right now, the door doesn't even exist.  Christy's goal... is to build the door! Christy is partnering with other female voice actors to launch a grassroots campaign with the end objective being to get female voice actors access to sports promos (as well as other promo work with male dominated brands). In this episode she shares her story and mission and shares ways the voice over community as a whole can help.

When you're starting your voice over journey, there's a lot of information to process and a lot of very important decisions to make. What should I coach with? Who produces quality demos? What equipment should I buy? What classes are worth it? What does it even look like to set up a small business? And the list goes on and on and on and on. Another vital question is "who can I trust?" Patrick Kirchner started his voice over journey in 2017. Along the way he's tried very hard to make the right investments and work with the right people to build a growing and successful business over time. It's working! Now he's passing along what he's learned to help new voice actors starting out avoid some of the pitfalls that are often all too common.

At the beginning of 2020, Jennifer Clark was a stay-at-home mom with a dream to do voice over. A week before the pandemic hit, she booked her first paid voice over job. Things moved quickly from there. More jobs. Big clients. Respected brands. Award nominations. Along the way, one particular practice has been important to Jennifer, and it's the main reason I wanted to bring her on the show.  Jennifer has a #HappyJar, and by the time you're done listening to this conversation, I know you'll have one too.

For many voice actors, the dream and goal is to turn a part-time passion into a full-time career. That can be a challenge when you've only got limited time to devote to your voice over business though. For Bryson Carr, the solution was outsourcing. With a limited number of hours to give to voice over because of a day job, outsourcing aspects of his business to a virtual assistant allowed him to get more done and grow faster. Be inspired by his story, and take some notes because the same thing may be the solution you've been looking for!   CONNECT WITH BRYSON CARR NAVA - https://brysoncarr.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jbrysoncarr LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/brysoncarr IMDb - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10400455 Marc Scott on Instagram - @marcscott RESOURCES FOR VOICE ACTORS * The VOpreneur Guide to Testimonials Visit https://vopreneur.com/testimonials * Get an instant $25 credit when you sign up for VoiceZam Visit https://voicezam.com/marcscott * For voice over services: Visit https://marcscottvoiceover.com * Want VOpreneur Swag?

When it comes to A.I. and the voice over industry, there's a lot of fear. A lot of speculation. A lot of uncertainty. A lot of doubt. But there seems to be less hard data. Less actual information. Less real stories to back up all the fear, uncertainty and doubt. A.I. is here, whether we like it or not. It's going to be better as well. But that doesn't mean it's time to pack your studio and sell it on eBay. I genuinely believe there's still ample opportunity for professional voice actors. I'm seeing evidence of that in my own business, where I continue to sign new clients regularly for many different types of voice over. In this episode, I share the advice I've been giving to voice actors who are coming to me on a near daily basis, sometimes paralyzed in fear of what's happening and what's to come (which, to be clear, nobody ACTUALLY knows what's to come). I hope this advice will encourage you. Hang in there and just #DoTheThing!

What I got instead, was a virtual acting master class that can be applied across basically any genre of voice over, including audiobooks. Yes, we discuss books and strategy and marketing and A.I. and all those things. But Sean went so much deeper and gave us so much more. You're going to enjoy (and learn a lot) from this one!

Every audition spec we see asks for genuine and authentic reads. But how do we get there? First, it may involve some tears! Dave Walsh is one of the most respected and admired coaches in the voice over industry. He has a gift for peering into the souls of voice actors, and helping us get past all "stuff" to be able to find our TrueTell®. When we get there, that's when we deliver absolutely genuine and authentic reads. In addition to offering plenty of advice for how we can get out of our own way, Dave also shares his powerful story of losing his voice (legitimately) to turning that into a way to help others find theirs.
