VOICEOVER PARTY!
Well hey there, aspiring voice actor!
If you are trying to figure out how to make money in voice acting and whether it's a good career path for you, you're in the right place.
Your first goal should be to educate yourself on exactly what a career in voiceover is all about.
Please take your time with this process. If you are a hyper-hamster and rush through the learning process, not only will you NOT see results, but you'll waste time and money.
But what do I know :) - I've only been making a living at this since FOREVER!
SAID WITH LOVE
SLOW THE F*&# DOWN! Take your time, enjoy the journey, and focus on your education!

WORK

Ask 20 voiceover actors about their career, and they will all describe it a little differently.
That's because voiceover is not a single industry. We are actor service providers that serve various industries. Confused? Ok, let me explain.
Most voiceover actors have a genre, niche, or skill set that meets the needs of a specific client or application. We literally don’t all do the same thing.
Not all voiceover actors excel in all areas of voiceover performance.
Things voice actors share in common:
We are independent business owners or solopreneurs.
Our livelihood revolves around talking into a microphone in padded little rooms we build in our homes.
All voice actors are excellent readers with above-average vocabularies who read aloud with only a minimal number of errors.
We are paid as freelance vendors or contract employees by the companies who hire us.
We are not just people with 'nice' voices. we are actors with highly technical audio skills.

Here’s another way to view the maze of various voiceover jobs.
Teachers share a professional job title. However, there is a vast difference in the skills and expertise of an elementary school teacher compared to a college physics professor.
High School art teachers and corporate trainers are also types of teachers. You encounter hundreds of teachers in your life but not all of them are math teachers. The same is true for voice actors.

I'm often asked what the next logical step is...
simple - take ONE class.
Before buying gear (hopefully you haven't yet) or spending money on packages or plans, take one single class designed to evaluate your skills. In my Online Assessment Class, I'll test your raw voice acting abilities while giving you valuable feedback about your strengths and weaknesses. At the end of the class, we will create an action plan, and a realistic timeline for growth and goal achievement. Plus, you'll get a chance to experience my teaching style and see if we're a good fit.

One final option - If you are struggling to afford voiceover coaching, or prefer group learning, I recommend
My friend and fellow voiceover actor Anthony Pica runs this amazing group. I teach a weekly class with them, too.
The Academy is packed with archival learning from previous classes, new classes, live events, plus the most amazing voiceover Discord group I have ever seen! It's a private group for members and it is the answer to voiceover social media burnout.
