      I had the same thing happen to me while working at Walmart for over a year. I have a deep baritone voice that many say I sound like Barry White, Sylvester Stallone, Sam Elliot and Dennis Hayesburt (the AllState guy), Jack Nicholson and Johnny Cash. People almost constantly said they love my voice and that I should be on radio. So naturally I started thinking in that general direction. I know I definitely have the face for radio, lol!

    Very informative! Thank you! I just started auditioning with ACX about a month ago. I got my first job a few days after for a 3-hour audiobook. I don't have a professional studio. I record from my bedroom, with a blanket over my head. I also only used my built-in computer microphone. I just purchased a Yeti X Professional mic this week to enhance the quality of my future recordings, but I passed ACX standards in my bedroom, under a blanket & recording directly onto my computer. Nothing fancy needed for beginners. Also, the company loved my voice & will be sending me more work soon. I love it!

    Kat, FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIK video! Thank you SO SO SO much for lifting the veil and just letting us know how to get started -annnnd for the mindset for us to just not complicate it! I did radio ads years ago that people loved. But I recorded it formally for a business that paid to have all the sound work done at a local studio. Now I want to take those samples and get a foot in the door to get started doing voice work more seriously. But I've been all freaked out that I have to spend a crazy amount on equipment. I encountered a voice artist online that really makes it seem so difficult to break in to the industry. I saw that he just wanted to keep things all secretive and not have people thinking they could just start right away with the talent they were born with! -I literally LOVE your channel (and your voice sample project shared was great! Your clients got a quality product so who cares if it was done on an iPhone... Also, love the video you did with your friend King on upleveling financially). Sending so many Beatnik finger snaps of approval your way...lol! (What software do you use to edit your voice artist projects? And, do you have a video on...how you recorded this video? Haaa!)

Now they’re, 19, 17, 12 and last one is 4 (unplanned but wanted and loved) I’m desperately looking to do something with my life. I thought I was the only mom feeling like this because other moms left and right have careers even with small kids but we chose for me to be home with them and although it was the best decision I always get that feeling of “what about me?” Or what will I do when my kids grow up and leave? I plan to become a certified court translator or maybe use my certification to do freelance work but meanwhile trying to find small gigs while I’m still home with my little one.
      Cheers 🥂 to finding something fulfilling to do and succeed. Blessings to you.

    I really enjoyed this video; it was straightforward and informative. You have a great personality and are very encouraging. Sometimes, people inadvertently turn folks off because the way that they describe the task (becoming a voice-over artist) is daunting and, therefore, intimidating. You are very positive and encouraging and I'm sure that people will feel emboldened to take a leap of faith due to your heartening approach. Thank you for sharing!

    I was told I could be a voice-over artist by a Radio/Communications professor I had years ago. I have some experience with vocal training whether it is through Radio, Theatre and overall singing. I have been considering doing it. At this point in my life, there is no excuse. I can at least try using the websites you've mention and more, buy a mic/XLR equipment and just START!
    I've been a little hard on myself, constantly telling myself that the VO industry is too competitive and too hard to breakthrough.

Several years ago, I took a VO class and had my voice reviewed and the instructor encouraged me to get into the field (narration, audiobooks, etc.). Life happened and I had to postpone this pursuit. I've been told by countless people for years (family and colleagues) that I have a great voice and that it's soothing and relatable. Thank you for awakening the dream! I'm encouraged to start and will not overthink it. Let the journey begin! Again, many thanks.
