The next piece of advice most people give to people interested in getting into Voiceover is “Do some internet research”.
Well… where do you start? And how do you know the search terms? And how do you know whether the people giving you advice are legit? The first results on Google are almost always paid ads… and when you are just exploring, you want honest reviews and straight answers. Without the overwhelm and frustration of not having a starting point.
Tips are GREAT!!! But you may be asking...
What do I do next?
If you recall, the first hurdles in your journey are typically too much general information, not enough information on HOW and WHERE to take the next steps, and not enough information to avoid being burned wasting time and money.
Thankfully, I've spent enough time with enough people in the industry, that I feel I can really help you eliminate a lot of that "bad news".
If you are ready to get around all of that, feel free to download my $7 guide outlining 20+ VETTED VOICEOVER INDUSTRY RESOURCES to help you begin your Voiceover Journey as well as a complete list of the genres of Voiceover work that you can pursue!
YES PLEASE!!! SEND ME THE LISTI can help you move forward in two ways!
Way #1 and FULL DISCLOSURE.
I've spent many years and thousands of hours collecting this information.
Therefore, I confidently ask for a small donation of appreciation. For only $7, I will deliver to you a COMPREHENSIVE list of all of the most helpful resources I've come across on the Internet. This includes:
- Personal recommendations of vetted coaches and courses specifically benefitting beginners
- Podcasts that are essential in guiding your voiceover career (not just conversational fluff or listening to a “good friend network” reminisce). You won't have to listen to one second of any other podcast to find what you are seeking (unless you really want to).
- Facebook groups that ACTUALLY deliver value, leadership and assistance on your voiceover journey (instead of a group filled with trolls and a bottomless pit of community questions without answers)
- Comprehensive websites that will help you find your way wherever you want to go in your voiceover journey, instead of reading blog after blog and having to piecemeal everything yourself.
- Plus, over a dozen of tried-and-true sound bytes of advice on how to BEGIN. There is no WRONG way to begin your journey. You start where you are and move forward! However, you could waste a lot of time and remain paralyzed for a long time by information overload.
PLUS... I'll include a complete list of ALL of the genres of Voiceover that current working voiceactors pay their bills with every day!
You will no longer have to guess who is legit and who isn’t, and whether someone is just recommending something because it is a friend or an affiliate. I’m receiving no kick backs for recommending these people or giving you this information. The $7 is just a thank you to me for spending the time to ask for recommendations from working voice actors in various groups and reading thousands of posts and conversations regarding integrity, effectiveness, and bang for your buck.

I WANT TO TALK!
IF YOU MADE IT THIS FAR…
Congratulations! You’ll need tenacity, follow-through and a thirst for learning to make it in voiceover.
Voiceover is NOT a method to get rich quick. In fact, you should expect the OPPOSITE for a long time. The typical 10,000 hours of mastery absolutely applies to this industry. You’ll need to train, practice, train, practice, observe, participate, learn, rinse and repeat for many months… years…. You should expect to treat your journey in Voiceover just like any other profession. Putting in the hard work and the investment in the front end will most certainly yield results in the end. But, it will NOT be overnight. And it WILL take years for most to make enough money to replace a day job salary when you start from scratch.
These days, you can’t just dip your toe into the pool of Voiceover and expect to see results. But, if you want it, it ABSOLUTELY can be the career of your dreams!
Voiceover a very rewarding and very excited pursuit, indeed!
