Book Your Consult KEY TAKEAWAYS The 'People You May Know' feature on the LinkedIn profile page is a helpful tool for finding new leads, but its effectiveness depends on how you use LinkedIn for your voice over business. LinkedIn now limits free users to five personal notes per month, but you can still send connection requests without a personal note and follow up with a message after the request is accepted. Consider upgrading to a premium LinkedIn profile to access AI capabilities that can assist with messaging, content creation, and personalized messages for celebrations. Hashtags on LinkedIn are being phased out as AI technology is used to determine the content of posts and push them to the right audience. Focus on including relevant keywords in your posts instead. Posting external links on LinkedIn can reduce organic reach, so consider uploading videos and content natively to the platform to maximize visibility. LinkedIn is testing a video feed feature, making it a potential platform for video creators to explore and share their content.

Book Your Consult Key Takeaways Taking care of one's health is important for overall well-being and can positively impact voice over performance. Authentic and conversational voice over reads are trending in the industry. Voice actors should focus on channeling authenticity and creating a story in their performances. Avoid sounding robotic or formulaic in voiceover work to stand out and connect with the audience. E-learning has evolved to become more engaging and conversational, with a focus on creating human-like voices to keep learners interested and motivated. Voice actors can embrace AI technology by adapting it for their business, offering both their acting voice and a protected synthetic voice to clients. Engaging and human-like voices are crucial in corporate narration, as they help maintain the audience's attention and effectively deliver the intended message. While AI voices have made significant advancements, there is still skepticism and a lack of trust in their authenticity and quality.

Book Your Consult Key Takeaways from this Episode Upgrading membership tiers may not necessarily improve a voice actor's ranking or percentage on Voice123. The number of likes and the ratio of liked auditions to total auditions play a significant role in a voice actor's success on Voice123. Voice actors should be strategic in their auditioning, focusing on their strengths and targeting specific genres and voice styles. Understanding the Voice123 algorithm and using relevant keywords and filters can improve a voice actor's visibility on the platform. Stay updated on the latest trends to ensure your samples are relevant and appealing to clients. Use keywords that people are actually searching for. Choose the membership tier that aligns with your language, demographic, and voice style to optimize your auditions and opportunities.

Imagine my surprise when I showed up to watch The Famous Online Casting Panel at VO Atlanta recently and found Jay O'Connor, the Interim CEO of Voices.com sitting on stage preparing to take questions. The panel did NOT disappoint. Thank you, J. Michael Collins for organizing it, and the Anna Collins for making it a part of the VO Atlanta lineup. A lot of voice actors have some pretty strong feelings about Voices[dot]com (myself included), and most of those feelings are not positive. Previous management seemingly did everything humanly possible to alienate the voice over community... their very customers... through unethical business practices. Many top talent abandoned the site, and representatives from Voices[dot]com were basically ousted from participating in industry events. Is that about to change? I'll confidently say, a first step has been taken. In this episode, I share a few thoughts and takeaways from the panel, along with a cautious optimism for changes to come that started with an apology to the community from the CEO.

Why aren't Sports Promos accessible to female voice actors when the statistics show sizeable female audiences? (44% NFL / 47% MLB / 37% NHL / 37% MLS) That's the question Christy Harst is asking, and it's the mission she's taken on for herself.

When you're starting your voice over journey, there's a lot of information to process and a lot of very important decisions to make. What should I coach with? Who produces quality demos? What equipment should I buy? What classes are worth it? What does it even look like to set up a small business? And the list goes on and on and on and on. Another vital question is "who can I trust?" Patrick Kirchner started his voice over journey in 2017. Along the way he's tried very hard to make the right investments and work with the right people to build a growing and successful business over time. It's working! Now he's passing along what he's learned to help new voice actors starting out avoid some of the pitfalls that are often all too common.

At the beginning of 2020, Jennifer Clark was a stay-at-home mom with a dream to do voice over. A week before the pandemic hit, she booked her first paid voice over job. Things moved quickly from there. More jobs. Big clients. Respected brands. Award nominations. Along the way, one particular practice has been important to Jennifer, and it's the main reason I wanted to bring her on the show.

For many voice actors, the dream and goal is to turn a part-time passion into a full-time career. That can be a challenge when you've only got limited time to devote to your voice over business though. For Bryson Carr, the solution was outsourcing. With a limited number of hours to give to voice over because of a day job, outsourcing aspects of his business to a virtual assistant allowed him to get more done and grow faster. Be inspired by his story, and take some notes because the same thing may be the solution you've been looking for!

A.I. isn't coming to the voice over industry. It's already here. The challenge for voice actors now is, how will we engage and respond as a community and industry. One of the organizations speaking on our behalf is NAVA (National Association of Voice Actors).

When it comes to A.I. and the voice over industry, there's a lot of fear. A lot of speculation. A lot of uncertainty. A lot of doubt. But there seems to be less hard data. Less actual information. Less real stories to back up all the fear, uncertainty and doubt. A.I. is here, whether we like it or not. It's going to be better as well. But that doesn't mean it's time to pack your studio and sell it on eBay. I genuinely believe there's still ample opportunity for professional voice actors. I'm seeing evidence of that in my own business, where I continue to sign new clients regularly for many different types of voice over. In this episode, I share the advice I've been giving to voice actors who are coming to me on a near daily basis, sometimes paralyzed in fear of what's happening and what's to come (which, to be clear, nobody ACTUALLY knows what's to come). I hope this advice will encourage you. Hang in there and just #DoTheThing!

If you follow the current public narratives surrounding A.I. in voice over, it would be easy to draw the conclusion that we're all screwed and the industry is moments away from it's final breath. Every post about A.I. is negative and often rooted in fear. But is this an accurate representation of what's actually going on in the industry? Or is the reality is a little more nuanced, and perhaps a little less doom and gloom? Bev Standing has become one of the most trusted and respected voices in our industry when it comes to the subject of A.I.

A blindspot is by it's very name, something you can't see. When you think about it in terms of driving a car, it's something that you can't see that's actually right beside you. In our voice over businesses, we have blindspots. We have things we're too close to. Opportunities that are right in front of our faces, but unless someone on the outside points them out to us, we'll miss them. In this episode I share a recent experience with one of my own blindspots and what I did to solve it. I hope you'll take inspiration from this to find some trusted people who will help you identify any blindspots you may have in your own business.

When it comes to AI and voice over, I think we have two choices. We can fear it and run from it, or we can embrace it and leverage it. I'm choosing to do the latter. Looking for ways I can embrace AI to help me be more creative and more productive. In this episode I chat with Mike Thomas. He's a voice actor and a digital marketer who has been using ChatGPT nearly since the beginning in a lot of interesting and creative ways. He shares plenty of great insights for how VOpreneur's can embrace this technology, and offers from pretty specific use cases and instructions for how to make it happen.
