    Marketing directly to prospects as a voice actor can feel like standing on a diving board, staring into the deep end, and wondering if there’s a shark or a nuclear bomb in the water.

    You’ve probably heard about cold emailing and thought, “That’s just spam, right?” Or maybe the idea of bothering someone with an unsolicited email gives you flashbacks to awful networking mixers where everyone exchanges business cards and fake smiles.

    I get it—cold emailing feels like uncharted territory for a lot of voice actors.

    But here’s the truth: it’s how I built my 6-figure VO business.

  • The 10 COMMANDMENTS of VO Every Voice Actor NEEDS
    Jan 9 2025

    Completely unlike Moses from the mountaintop, I bring you these 10 Commandment of Voice Over. Trust me, it’s not every day you get 10 commandments from an atheist. 😉

    Now before you get your hackles up, we’re playing fast and loose with the word commandments here. There are no hard and fast rules that you should never, ever, ever violate, but these are pretty close. Think of them as my strong recommendations.

    As always, you run your own business and career. But if I were you, I’d pay attention.
