Voiceover Stories - Real, Raw, and Relevant

We are living in a time where systemic racism can no longer be ignored, calling for a much needed conversation.  As voice actors we are given the opportunity to ask ourselves how we are supporting black talent and why that's even important.  As humans we are being given an opportunity to  reexamine our beliefs and where those beliefs came from.   On this special episode (s) of VO Stories we are talking about racism in voice overs a...

Hi Friends - Happy Thursday.   Today I'm introducing you to my dear and talented friend, Sherri Pullum, founder of Pullum Productions. I asked Sherri to be my guest since she will be moderating an upcoming conversation on VO Stories titled "Racism in Voice Overs and Beyond". I feel you should get to know her and hear her intention - both for the episode she facilitates as well as in life. Here's a hint- your voice is involved.   Ne...

Hi friends! Happy Thursday! VO Stories is back!   This episode was recorded back in May, but this episode is still so relevant in these strange times of COVID. I'm talking with the down-to-earth and super smart Marc Scott, voice over talent and founder of the VO-preneur. As you listen to this episode ask yourself these questions:   1. How am I adapting during COVID?   2. How can I keep things moving forward with my voice over care...

Hi friends! Happy Thursday!

Here's something I've been thinking about lately (and I know we're probably all doing A LOT of thinking in quarantine): redo's.   If you think we need a redo in 2020, I should tell you about my 2019. So...with a little hesitation...here goes.   In this week's episode of VO Stories- I get real and share how my own personal pandemic (a breast cancer diagnosis) prepared me for our new reality - a global pan...

Hi friends! Happy Thursday! Wait - it is Thursday right?

Today, I've got on a great guest for you. If you don't know him, you should! His name is J. Michael Collins. He's been at voiceovers for over 25 years, so he was the perfect person to talk to about how to navigate being a voiceover talent during this strange time.

Many of you have questions - how do you market yourself, how do you find work, do you pivot? I think you're going...

Hi friends! Happy Thursday (in case you've lost track - like me!)!

I'm not sure about you - but I'm exhausted trying to balance it all. Being a working parent is one thing, but being a working parent while also teaching your child? Oh boy!

So, I did what I always do in times like this - lean on you, my voiceover community. Today, I chat with Carrie Olsen, Darrell Brown and Christy Harst with how they're handling the day to day of p...

Hi friends! Happy Thursday! Of course - it's not your typical Thursday.

As you may know, we were set last week to continue talking about tech in voiceovers. But once I realized how much COVID-19 was impacting all of our lives, I had to regroup. I knew I wasn't comfortable operating like it was business as usual when our lives were being turned upside down. It didn't seem right to not address the elephant in the room.

So for the nex...

Hi friends! Happy Thursday!

I can't believe it's already March! Spring will be here before we know it and I, for one, am ready!

With a new month, comes a new theme for me to explore on the podcast. This month's topic? Technology - as it relates to voiceovers, of course. Technology is the driving force in voiceovers; studios have it and need it, and these days, so does talent.

I'm going to be honest with you - tech has ALWAYS been m...

Hi friends! Happy Thursday.

Today, I introduce you to Sarah Von Bargen. She isn't exactly in voiceovers, but she's made a huge difference in my life, and her advice is definitely worth sharing. She started off as a blogger, and is now a coach and writer. Most importantly, Sarah is a MASTER at creating new habits - especially those that have to do with money. Listen in as Sarah talks about challenges voice over artists face around v...

Hi friends! Happy Thursday!

I'm super pumped for today's guest - Maria Pendolino! She's kind of a girl crush of mine, so it's great that she's here for not just one, but TWO episodes!

This week, listen in as I chat with this gracious woman about how she found her way to voiceovers, why she feels we need to negotiate with our clients, and so much more! This one is chalk full of information, so you don't want to miss it!

A new month means a new theme! This month, I'm talking...MONEY! This month, we'll be talking about voiceover rates, knowing your personal worth and more. I'll be talking with experts in both voiceover and finance. With guests like Maria Pendolino and Sarah Van Bargen, you won't want to miss any of this month's episodes!

Today, however, I'm chatting about why I chose money as this month's theme. I see it ...

Listen in as I chat with Wendy about Actor Inspiration - an online site she founded to help actors uplevel their career - as well as her journey to actin...

Happy Thursday, friends!

I'm so excited to be in new yea. 2020 holds a lot of promise; I can feel it. With a new year, come some changes. This year, there will be monthly themes to VO Stories. This month's theme is: "New Year, New You". Keeping with that theme, today's podcast will talk about goals!

Many of us abandon our goals in mid-February. How can we set goals that are achievable? How can we make sure that when December 2020 r...

Hi there, friends! Happy Thursday.

For my last podcast of 2019, I'm chatting goals! This is the time of year when people start to reflect on the goals they met during the past year, and begin to set goals for the new year - career goals, health goals...you name it.

A book I read this summer, James Clear's "Atomic Habits" helped to give me some clarity on how I can better make and serve my goals in the upcoming year. Listen in as I ...
