    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

    This is Why Your Marketing Isn't Working

    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?

    Voice Actors who fail to follow-up are voice actors who are missing out on new clients and new bookings. And the number one reason for not following up, "I don't want to be annoying."

    This narrative is all wrong and I explain why in this episode.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    • Impressions and reach are two distinct metrics on social media. 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.
