Hey there, hero!

You get a lot of choices in life, and some you very much want to take advantage of.

Others, not so much. Some are a hard "no."

Especially if you don't feel qualified or up to the task.

As a coach, there can be a tendency to not want to be perceived as anything less than a superman. That you're capable of anything and helping anyone.

And I can tell you that this can apply to you as an actor or voice talent. We are encouraged to be as inclusive in our roles and auditions as we can.

I can also tell you that the more you qualify yourself (without being overly self-judgy) the better you'll do at the things you end up saying yes to.

But when you say no to something, how does that make you feel? ? Let me know in the comments below.

REQUEST: Please join this video's conversation on VOHeroes, where the comments are moderated and civil.
