    Opening Up a New Income Stream with UGC with Kelley and Cam Buttrick

    UGC (User Generated Content) is, for many voice actors, a misunderstood concept and also a potentially missed revenue stream for their business.

    In this episode I speak with Kelley and Cam Buttrick, both of whom are running thriving UGC businesses and are more than willing to share the ins and outs of this opportunity.

    To make it even more interesting and insightful, Kelley is offering her take as a Gex X and Cam shares her perspective as a Gen Z.

    The end result, a fun and informative interview offering up plenty of actionable, practical tips and strategies for adding UGC into your list of services offered.

    Forget the Haters; Stay Authentic on Social Media

    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.

    From Dream to Disney with Sarah Kramer

    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. ;)

    Is This a Glimpse at the Future of Voice Over with Erin Culpepper

    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.

    Can Improv Make You a Better Voice Actor with Rebecca Haugh

    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
