  • Hey there, hero!

    We know as performers that the way things are handled in our business are sometimes very different from the way they are handled in more mainstream businesses.

    And that can be frustrating, especially when it comes to not getting the booking.

    We're not told why. We never know why. We won't ever know why.

    But that's a double edged sword, especially given this new twist to the traditional rejection letter that the Muggles get when they don't get the job.

    You might be very surprised what current HR practices have led corporate culture to "offer" to candidates who don't "get the booking." Let me know what you think in the comments below.

  • Hey there, hero!

    It seems like almost everyone, at some point, gets the urge to become a performer.

    They look at the fame, the money, the autograph seekers and just how easy it is and those are just their first four incorrect assumptions.

    Maybe you made some of those. Some rules you thought were true. Some shortcuts you thought might work.

    And then, they, and you, were likely introduced to actual harsh reality. Ugh.

    Building a performer's practice is filled with mirrors and smoke and distortion fields, and once your assumptions are challenged, and you realize that there's a lot of hard work and some amount of luck involved in changing things up, you might need some serenity to accept that.

    And maybe, that you simply can't change what can't be changed, even though you thought it could.

    Have you experienced this? Anything you thought was true but wasn't? How did you handle that? With serenity? Let me know in the comments below.

  • Hey there, hero!

    Creative types have no guarantees.

    Actors, voice talent, writers...have no tried and true template to follow for success.

    Almost everything about our journey is unknown. We have no idea what's coming.

    And that can be scary. It can be frustrating. It can be daunting.

    But...it is heroic. Not everyone can do it.

    But you can.

    And I want to thank you for being heroic.

    Give me your thoughts on being a hero (which you are!) in the comments below.

  • Hey there, hero!

    That moment before you launch into a pickup sets the scene for how that pickup goes.

    And it needs to match the original voice work in terms of tone, energy, emotion and volume.

    And if your feelings, your mouth, your face or anything else is affected by that frustration or anger, or somehow isn't keyed to the lovely and unique moment that the content occurs, that will change, sometimes drastically, how that pickup comes out.

    And that can lead to even more frustration, and less accuracy on your pickups.

    Just take a moment. Don't jump right in to your pickup. You've got all the time in the world, and that extra moment will save you many moments when doing your pickup work.

    Do you find this happening to you? How do you deal with pickup frustration? Let me know in the comments below.

  • Hey there, hero!

    The United States Federal Trade Commission requires that businesses who show their clients achieving things that require engagement, study, dedication, hard work and a fair amount of luck, and whose other customers likely have varying results...they have to disclose something.

    It's along the lines of "YMMV." Your Mileage May Vary.

    Sometimes you see it in phrases like "Results not typical." It's certainly applicable here: at VOHeroes, we help you create a successful, satisfying and profitable VO career. But you have to do some of the work, and like in all performance, there are no guarantees.

    And the announcement Hopper Stone is going to make in this episode is not typical. In fact, in the world of VO, over 95% of talent will never be able to say what he's going to say.

    But he did it. I'll just let him make his announcement. Press the play button.

    How we go about finding work is a fair bit different from the average Indeed.com job applicant.

    They will track their progress through the job search process in one way...

    ...and we are completely different.

    And for once, we have less work to do than they do.

    You might think you need to track your auditions and clip submissions...and you would be making work for yourself that's unnecessary.

    Do you "track" your submissions? Are you able to let them go? Let me know in the comments below.

    We tend to hear the word "opportunity" and dress it up big time, expecting glitzy as opposed to basic work or work that prepares us for further opportunity.

    Opportunities show up in various heights and widths and various levels of glamour.

    Sometimes, they are awesome and legendary. But sometimes, they show up very calmly, ready to do some grunt work.

    And that grunt work is sometimes more spectacular than the glitzy stuff.

    And you get to play and benefit either way.

    There are great MeetUp groups (like our beloved Voices Anonymous here in LA)...

    ...and then there are MeetUp groups that are not so great.

    I know they meant well, but still...

    Joining a MeetUp group, creating content to be used in a VO demo and sharing among members is possibly the worst strategy I've ever heard.

    And I got invited to participate in this voyage...by that site's algorithm.

    I doubt they could have asked a worse candidate to join their merry MeetUp menagerie.

    The group organizer, I hope, was just trying to help. But he didn't even specify which VO demo was to be built for the members.

    Sigh.

    So...other than that...what did you do to put together your first writing sample, on-camera reel or VO demo? Let me know in the comments below.

    I'm now subscribed to two newsletters I cannot quit.

    One is from James Clear, and the other is from Mark Manson.

    Mark is the one that can't stop using the F word in his book titles.

    But that bit of profanity can distract you from the power of his writing. And in particular, the writing in his weekly newsletter.

    In a recent edition, he talked about what we can and cannot change. And it's worth talking about.

  • Hey there, hero!

    We get comfy when we have a pattern to look at: we create a life for ourselves, we get into a habit, we get systems in place and we think that's it.

    It's never going to change. What we have now is what we will always have, good and bad.

    But is that really true?

    Does what we have now somehow predict what we'll have in the future? Is what we have now all we can expect for the future?

    Absolutely not. Think about the completely random nature of our business. And how we are training to get better, working on new things.

    I'm in the midst of a project right now that I didn't see coming.

    And that can happen to you...at any crazy moment.

    Questions? Let me know in the comments below.

    Had a great time on the VOBB (VO Booth Besties) with Jen, Jen and Aleesha:

    https://www.boothbesties.com/

    ...and I had the chance to answer some questions from the attending audience of VO talent.

    One question that came up was "How do you keep all the voices you create for the characters in an audiobook straight? How do you avoid using the wrong voice for a character by mistake?"

    Great questions, and one that has a number of different possible answers. Let's explore exactly how to do that - especially as an actor (or writer).

    How do you keep everyone straight? Is this a challenge for you? Let me know in the comments below.

  • Hey there, hero!

    One of the most satisfying things that can happen to us is that all goes according to plan.

    That you set up a process, and you follow the path, you execute the steps, and it works out perfectly.

    But ask yourself: how often does that really happen? Not very often, if at all, I would think.

    It's really difficult, given all the variables in life, and especially in the performing arts, to set everything up to occur on a particular date and time. And that can be really frustrating, as there are bills to pay and obligations to meet that other people seem to put on the calendar for us.

    A quick mindset shift for you in this episode: how to be at peace with not having your successes (or failures) timed out to a particular moment, and how to prepare for the ups and the downs.

    Can you find joy in the random nature of the timing of your results, good or bad? Let me know in the comments below.

  • Hey there, hero!

    This episode is for you if you feel like you missed the boat. That you're too old to be the artist you want to be. So...

    We tell ourselves the stories we hear from others.

    It's convenient and reliable.

    Sometimes.

    But sometimes, the stories we tell ourselves are different from the conventional wisdom. And it's actually all a choice. It depends on how much you want it.

    If you want to switch up what you're doing in life...you can. Really.

    And you actually have an advantage to switch things up. I'll tell you what that is, boomer (or GenXer) in this episode - I think you might welcome the option I present.

    Are you thinking it's too late for you? Or do you have the resolve to ignore that easy assumption? Let me know in the comments below.

    The little moments in life when we do what we do as performers...record an audition, narrate a chapter in an audiobook, self-tape an on-camera audition...they are juicy, aren't they?

    I'm wondering what goes through your head, just as you're about to start.

    To take that "blank page" and add content to it.

    To change it from nothing to something.

    Do you have doubts? Are you supremely confident? Something in between?

    Do you even notice that moment anymore?

    I wonder how that on-the-brink moment hits you these days. Let me know in the comments below.

    If there's one thing we don't have enough of, it's time.

    But there are ways to guard your time and protect what you have.

    You can even take steps to re-claim that precious commodity. One is fairly obvious.

    The other can feel a bit dangerous. A bit risky.

    I'd like to set your mind at ease about that "dangerous, risky" one.

    How do you guard your time? How do you make sure you have the time you need to do the things you want? Let me know in the comments below.

  • Hey there, hero!

    Our NarrateYourOwnBook.com training course, designed for authors who want to be the voice of their own books, has a lesson in it that shows them how to "claim their title" from Kindle and start the process of producing the audiobook version of their book on ACX.

    You'd think you'd need some sort of permission to claim a title, but you'd be wrong.

    In this episode we discuss how easy it is for scammers to create ACX projects from any title that has yet to be claimed, leaving us in the position of being taken advantage of.

    As a narrator, you'll want to watch this, and then be extra vigilant when someone contacts you out of the blue on ACX to narrate their book. And if you're an author, you'll want to watch for your title being claimed without your permission.

    Could it be any easier? Thoughts on this? Let me know in the comments below.

    I'm just starting the process of taking a course, and I'm looking for advice from you.

    Whether you formally teach others or not, we all make the move from showing others how to do something to learning how to do things ourselves.

    What do you do to be as open as possible to the great things headed your way? How do you combat the assumptions you've made about something you're learning? What do you do to quiet the distractions?

    What are your best practices as a learner?

    I'd like to maximize my level of success in this course I'm taking, and I'd love to hear your best practices.
