A former voiceover student emailed me to tell me that they landed their first major job thanks to my coaching. That makes it all worthwhile. 😊

Here's 10 little tips to help new #voiceover artists understand the way "the business" runs nowadays. medium.com/@RobMarleyVO...

There are no small parts.

#voiceover tip: You dont need a $1000 microphone to sound professional. What you do need is a quiet space and a clean read. Chasing gear instead of chasing performance is a great way to stay busy and broke. Buy decent. Learn how to use it. Move on.

Stop seeing Monday as an obstacle to overcome. Its an opportunity to move your goals forward. So what are you waiting for?
