Tips, tricks, and tutorials for voiceover artists and audiobook narrators at any stage in their career.
When I was starting out, and at many points in my career, I spent far too much time, money, and/or stress just trying to figure things out on my own and then wondering if I was on the right track. So here are all of the things I wish I had known sooner, some of my brilliant ideas, my spectacular failures, and everything in between. With any luck, they'll help you out in some small way.
In case you're curious, here's a bit about who I am:
I'm a professional voice-over artist, audiobook narrator, and actor with over 15 years under my belt, six Best Performance of the Year nominations, and quite a bit of training (NYU, MFA Acting). I've also worked with some pretty cool companies, clients, and collaborators like BMW, Netflix, Microsoft, IBM, Samsung, McDonald's, Ragù, Spotify, The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, Audible, Penguin Random House, and Bayer, among many more.
