He emphasizes the importance of marketing and business skills in building a successful voiceover career, and outlines his four-year trajectory from making $15,000 a year to moving to 6 figures by making some smart decisions.

Marc also shares the impact his podcast has had on his coaching business, and provides advice for new voice actors looking to invest in their career.
Throughout the conversation, Marc shares valuable insights and lessons learned from his own experiences transitioning from radio to voiceover.
