Watching my sons play soccer has got me thinking about voiceover.
As I observe all the kids on the team, I see that some kids just have skillz (yeah, with a "Z") and some kids you can see that they get progressively better with coaching, practice, and hard work.
It was inspiring. I’d like to think that my normal voice is very conversational, but there are SO MANY skills that I had to learn, will continue to hone, and still need to learn. That's the voiceover part. ;-)
That and watching my kiddos learn and grow is the best thing in the world. #MomLife #MomPants #BoyMom

About a month ago I was sick, lost my voice, not fun, BUT I did do a LOT of YouTube research…and fine, I bought a bunch of equipment. And it finally arrived and I’ve been tinkering, testing, getting frustrated, then figuring it out.

The best clients pay fast or on-time.
I’m Kelly Wilson, this is “Real Talk”, A podcast about voice over: Working with them, hiring them, the stories inside AND outside of the booth.
If you have questions you’d like for me to cover on this podcast, EMAIL ME: [email protected].
Do you ever notice that the best clients are just the best. They’re organized, they communicate, they pay early or at-least on-time, and they keep coming back for more!
This works with other vendors I hire also. Recently, I had an arborist come and trim my trees at home and he rocked it! He showed up when he said he would, he did a fantastic job, AND he educated me and helped me better take care of my trees. Then, I paid him right then and there.
I get it, everyone has a bad day, humans are NOT perfect, BUT the best clients are just good humans. That is all.

What do you do when you’re sick? Hopefully you have great clients. Next, communicate, do your best, and optimize your time.
If you need to sleep, SLEEP! If you feel OK, maybe just resting your voice, BUT you need to do something….clean your studio/workspace, optimize your studio, upgrade your studio, or learn something on YouTube.

It’s Kelly Wilson with “Real Talk”, a podcast about voice over: Working with them, hiring them, the stories inside AND outside of the booth.
Question for voice actors, have you ever heard this? “BUT all you do is read!”
I was talking to a family member over the holiday weekend about voice over, what I do, what types of projects I work on, etc. Inevitably, they ask about money...I give them a range and they almost drop their hotdog and beer.
THEN I heard it, “BUT all you do is read! You get paid that much for one hour of work?“
I just said yes, because that was easier, BUT it gave me an idea...for this podcast.
For me, I don’t think about my hourly rate in terms of my time now...I think about it, in terms of...ALL the other stuff I did to get me to this exact moment...to this hour long directed session. From years of coaching, auditions, practicing, reading out loud, timing myself to reading for a specific time, singing classes, even karate helped me with focus and breathing. And so many other experiences….and they never stop.
So, getting to this moment, to this rate, took a LOT of time, sweat, tears, AND hard work. Also, when it comes to my family and my business or my work, they don’t get it. And that’s ok. I think most creatives and freelancers get that.
So if you ever hear: “BUT all you do is read! You get paid that much for one hour of work?“ If it’s family, just say, “yes.” If it’s a potential client, they probably need to know more about you.

It’s Kelly Wilson with “Real Talk”, a podcast about voice over: Working with them, hiring them, the stories inside AND outside of the booth.
This week I’m talking about something I do so quickly and automatically, I almost missed noticing myself doing it.
I’m talking about: stepping into character for REALLY dry copy.
This can be used for any type of character work really, but I was reading some very dry copy yesterday and I did this, automatically. I’m talking dry copy about math, science, concepts I don’t honestly understand in real life, but I’m an actor, so I mask up.
Here’s what I did yesterday without even prompting myself to do so: I step up to the mic and I imagine myself as a teacher (to adults), not in a school setting, but a corporate setting, teaching adults.
So I’m this teacher, I’m wearing this constricting/conforming/uncomfortable business professional skirt/suit thing. I only describe it like this, because I hate wearing skirts. My hair is up and tight. I can smell hairspray, I know I have makeup on, but not too much. I’m actually wearing jewelry. Oh, I hate it. I’m uncomfortable, but the audience doesn’t see that. All they see is a smart, poised, confident teacher, who talks slowly enough so others can absorb these difficult concepts, BUT inflects her voice just enough to make sure certain points are highlighted and remembered. They see a confident consultant that they trust, like, understand, and respect.
Then, I walked out of my recording booth rocking ripped jeans, a Pikachu t-shirt, and mismatched fuzzy socks. I didn’t even realize I did this until later that night while showering...showering is the best place to get ideas.
For me, I’ve always done stuff like this. I’ve always watched people, studied them, seen how others react to others. Social anxiety for the win!!
Acting and singing classes have also helped me hone this skill. I think the big one though is I always ask for voice direction on a project, even if I look at the script and just know how to deliver it. For me, I ask about voice direction, because I want to know what the client wants AND because of different industries, different countries/regions, etc. I’m looking for micro notes...so I can make any micro tweaks needed during the read. Also, I’m learning...learning about that industry or client and feeding my internal database for future recording sessions.

It’s Kelly Wilson with “Real Talk”, a podcast about voice over: Working with them, hiring them, the stories inside AND outside of the booth.
I always thought my weirdness was a personality trait, a quirk. However, in 2020, I learned some new things about myself. In 2020, I decided to get screened for ADHD. It’s something I always assumed I had, but wasn’t completely sure.
WHY 2020? Well, it was a REALLY hard year...probably THEE hardest, even harder than the “Great Recession” in 2008...probably because I have kids now and a mortgage and MOM PANTS!
Here’s the really annoying thing...When there is hardship, there is learning...lots of it. I was so stressed out in 2020, that I decided to find out if ADHD was a part of me.
Why did I even care? Well, I was just so stressed, that I thought, let's find out if ADHD and stress are related, get diagnosed, get help, get less stressed, be a rock star voice actor swimming through piles of money while wearing MOM PANTS.
Surprise, yes, I have ADHD: Combined Type (Hyperactive AND Inattentive). While I’m not yet swimming through piles of money (I keep it in the bank), I am moving in the right direction of better understanding who I am, why I do what I do, and how to do it better.
So no, getting my ADHD diagnosis did not magically fix everything in my life, but like all of us, I’m a work in progress and I’m a million times less stressed out than I was a year ago. WINNING! Do I fall into those same unhealthy, lame-o habits that I have in the past? OH YEAH! BUT, not as much.
So what does this have to do with voice over?
I’m a business owner. I work for myself, out of my home office and home studio, sometimes with my children all around me, PURE chaos. Not everyone can do this: the skills needed, the drive, being scared and doing it anyway. I wanted a better understanding of myself, so I can eventually master my mental health. And THAT, helps me bring voice over to the next level.
I’ll be honest with you, I was supposed to do this podcast topic a LOT sooner, but I chickened out. And I’m still scared. Scared that you’ll judge me for having ADHD. Scared that you’ll believe all the misinformation that is out there, But here I am.
So I tell you all of this, to encourage you to get your mental health right. Have you been putting off being screened for something? Think a therapist will help? If you have the means or the people around you to help, it’s important enough...yes, even for business. Because everything impacts everything.

Hey, it’s “Real Talk” with Kelly Wilson.
I’m a voice actor based in Twin Falls, Idaho and I work with clients all over the world. Which is one of my favorite things, BUT communication is HARD...in general, BUT when you're a native English speaker and you work with a non-native English speaker, it can be VERY difficult.
Before I get into this week’s topic, I’d love to know what you’d like for me to cover on this show. Comment on here (I do this live first with StreamYard on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter) OR email me: [email protected] .
Recently, I worked with a client in the middle east region. During this call, there were at least 3 other people on the call, all spoke English very well, BUT none were native English speakers...so, when they directed me, I had trouble understanding what they really meant.
Let me paint the picture for you. I had one sentence to do...a short sentence...BUT it was a one hour session. I went in there thinking, I’ll bang this out in 15 minutes tops, done. FUN. NOPE.
Ya know when you do a directed session and you can tell that you are NOT getting it...well, that’s what was happening. Finally, they played for me, a demo I did (don’t remember doing it) for a different script...They said that’s what they wanted...in my head I was like, OHHHHH OK, I get it. BOOM, I was able to give them what they wanted.
I know better and I should have asked for this at the start of the session. My excuse, it was five AM my time (MTN) and I have a toddler and his sleeping is NOT good. I just wasn’t as alert as I usually am. No complaints here… it was great practice, I gave them that one line 21 different ways. They were very nice and a great learning experience for me.
So if you’re having a hard time communicating with a non-native English speaker, just ask them for a sample of the type of voice or style, inflection, whatever they are looking for. It can be a sample you did yourself OR someone else….doesn’t matter. This works well with anyone really, but if you’re a non-native English speaker, there’s something about context and growing up here that helps with communication.
Also, because they were not native-English speakers, I try to NOT talk too much during those calls, because I don’t want to confuse them and I tend to speak in non-concrete ways when it comes to voice over in the context of the creative side of it...in the art form of voicing. Which for a non-native English speaker, I’m always afraid that I will just confuse them and they won’t understand anything I’m talking about.
Hope it’s helpful. Thanks for checking out “Real Talk”.

What are you most excited about, right now?!
Yesterday, I couldn’t have answered that question for you. That’s this week on Real Talk...a podcast about voice over and other stuff.
What topic do you want me to cover on the podcast? Email me: [email protected]
So, what are YOU excited about?
My point is: I need excitement and FUN in order for my brain to get motivated enough to do...anything. If that is NOT you, lucky! Knowing this about myself, understanding this about myself has been helpful. So if you’re not sure if this is you...think back to anything you have ever accomplished in your life. Why did you do it? What was the thing that got you out of bed? How did slug through the “I’m tired’s” and “I don’t wanna’s”... ? What was it?
My last podcast episode was about leaving your usual surroundings for new inputs...taking a vacation is one way to do it, a walk, whatever you need. New inputs lead to new and fresh ideas, perspectives, and ways to solve old problems. And one thing leads to another….
Hence this podcast: Get excited about something!
For me, I know that safety is an important value of mine. In this case, it was financial safety that I was looking back on. Over a decade ago, I moved here to Twin Falls, Idaho for a radio job...I was broke as a joke, in debt, starting my career. I discovered Dave Ramsey’s Baby Steps. It took me about 3 years to become debt free: paid off the credit cards, student loans, I already owned my car outright. And I still loosely follow Dave Ramsey’s “Baby Steps.”
Today, I checked in on those “Baby Steps” and I’m still debt free (except for my house), I have 6 months of expenses saved, and I’m working on increasing my monthly retirement savings.
Wait…I thought you said you only do stuff that is fun and exciting to you?! How is following Dave Ramsey’s “Baby Steps” FUN to you?!
I donno...it just is. Maybe it’s that safety and security value of mine? Maybe it’s the realization that when my car needs to be fixed, I just fix it. For me, having a strong foundation allows me to chill out more, worry less, and actually have more fun.
So, what excites you, right now?! Figure it out, then loop it into your quarterly goals...that’s what helps me, hopefully it can help you too.
Thanks for checking out “Real Talk”

Changing your environment gives you new ideas.
I work from home, my kids are here, the dog, the fish with the creepy eyes...always here, I like our snail...the dishes, the laundry, cooking dinners, the daily grind...Physically leaving this place is what I need to recharge my batteries.
I don’t think I truly understood that about myself until about a month ago.
Beginning of June, I took some unplanned time off. I attended a funeral in Florida. I’m from Florida, most of my family lives there. Myself and my kids flew to FL (flying alone with 2 kids sucks), (summer is a busy time for my husband, he’s a fish farmer, lots of fishes are making babies and such)...
Anyway, I assumed after the funeral, my kids could get their grandparent time on...hit the pool...beach...Publix...Greek Food...NY Style Pizza….drink some local craft beer….Key Lime Pie...ya know...FL it up.
So, we did some of that. The funeral was very sad, but it was nice to see my family, it was too long...plus sunshine and Florida rain is my favorite.
However, during the trip, my kids, my parents, my brother, his wife and child...all got super sick! I did NOT get sick. Yay for hand washing and NOT sharing food or drinks EVER!!!
So taking care of gross sick family members is NOT my idea of a vacation, but I did stay in Florida longer than expected, I did have some me time, some down time, reflection time, and I was removed from my office, my home, even the state of Idaho. I was in a different time zone for goodness sake.
Eventually, everyone felt better, and we hit the pool again.
During that down time: I listened to the local TV channels, paid attention to the commercials in between SpongeBob and LifeTime...I remembered that Bright House Networks is a thing…. So when I had a free moment, I looked up some of the people in the Tampa, FL area and said hello. I even had a random, real story to tell them about.
For me, removing myself from my usual surroundings allows my brain to come up with new ideas. Heck, that experience helped me create this podcast. New inputs, new environments - They recharge my brain, give me new ideas, allow me to look at the same old problems in a different way.
So if you need a new look at the same old problems, trying new inputs...try a vacation...like a real one though...and wash your hands.
Speaking of real vacations, I’m taking one: July - I’m going to Yellowstone with my family! Get a heads up on my studio book out dates, join my email community at: https://www.kellywilsonvo.com/subscribe

Got a question? Email me and maybe I can cover it here on the podcast: [email protected]
First up, before going into a project, I like to know what’s coming my way: The script, who the client is, the voice direction, the rate, the usage, planned revisions AFTER audio is delivered, directed session or NOT… I want to know what I’m getting myself into AND I want to understand how to best deliver for my client.
However, sometimes things change...what do you do?
First off, I try to plan for everything, which isn’t possible, but with each new experience, I think about how I can better prep for that next time.

Why I Tell My Clients About Other Great Voice Actors??
Because it is a plentiful world, karma is real, sales is about taking care of your clients….even if you don’t financially benefit each time, AND I’m not the right fit for every project, so referring another voice actor to your client is not only helpful, but it’s the right thing to do. So, that’s why.
Here’s an example, I took some time off recently for a trip back home to Florida and during that trip I had a client who was looking for a younger sounding male voice for a cartoon-type voice. I shared some names with my client and whadda ya know...that exact same client hired me earlier this week for a different project.
I prefer to work collaboratively...it’s fun...and I get to work with cool, talented people...I dig that.
That’s why I tell my clients about other great voice actors.
