  • Hey there, hero!

    When you get ready to do something new, what wells up inside you emotionally?

    Is there fear? Being scared?

    Or is there electricity? Being excited?

    And how does that affect how you approach it?

    The two will likely co-exist in a sweet spot: instead of being so scared that I am immobilized, I'm...cautious.

    And instead of being so excited that I ignore taking reasonable steps and precautions to maximize success...I'm jacked and happy.

    And it feeds me from both directions. What about you?

    How does it feel when you face tackling something new? Scary? Exciting? Treacherous? A bit embarrassed? Some combination of those? Does it depend how different it is from what you're doing now? Let me know in the comments below.

  • Hey there, hero!

    I'm well aware of at least one thing: I talk too much.

    Believe me, it's a challenge I've faced all my life.

    And I actively want to listen better. Listen actively. Not just wait for others to stop talking so I can start.

    I look for non-verbal clues to remind myself to listen...rather than talk.

    And to listen is to be open to hearing what the other person is saying...

    ...meaning one has to be silent to be able to listen.

    And of all things, a kid's TV dinner from my childhood sprang to mind.

    Once you hear the connection, does it all make sense? Can you use this as a reminder? Or do you not need my level of mental crutch? And are you old enough to remember the Libby's commercial?? Let me know in the comments below.

  • Hey there, hero!

    When things don't pan out for us, we want to know why. And sometimes, we simply tell ourselves stories...when we usually shouldn't.

    We want to have things make sense, and so if we don't know exactly why something happens, good or bad, we might make things up.

    Especially when we don't "get the gig."

    As humans, we want - no, NEED - to know why (so we can fix things, or at the very least, not repeat the defeat). And so, if we don't have actual facts as to why things went south, we might instead make things up. And if we do that enough, that made up stuff starts to sound an awful lot like fact.

    And it's not.

    And I give you an alternative for you that short circuits the potential for what you made up in your mind becoming as believable as a fact might be.

    What do you tell yourself when you don't book it? Is it supportive or constructive? Let me know in the comments below.

  • Hey there, hero!

    Ever get frustrated when you first start learning something and it's touch to get the hang of it? You know, you want to gain a skill and it's just not coming and you start to lose patience?

    How about when you're showing someone else how to do something and they just aren't grasping the fundamentals? Do you get a little annoyed?

    I see it happen in Facebook groups that "serve" our performer family, and it makes me sad.

    A little patience, some grace, a bit of remembering where we all were when we first started...that might be useful.

    How long is your fuse when learning and/or teaching? Do you "yell at a bud" sometimes? How do you feel when you're on the receiving end of that yelling? Let me know in the comments below.

    Famous quotes aren't always famous. Or quotes. There are all kinds of websites that are dedicated to the things that are attributed to famous people, but that they never actually said.

    In this episode, we're going to correct one of those misquotes, and in the process, give ourselves a gift about our lives and our professions.

  • Hey there, hero!

    Like most specialty pursuits, we performers have our own special language when it comes to auditioning and doing the work of actors and voice talent.

    And sometimes, people channel The Princess Bride's Inigo Montoya when it comes to some of that jargon: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

    A good example is the audition request that is phrased like this: "Give me multiple takes."

    In this episode, I'll tell you what I think that means (and give you two hard and fast rules for doing multiple takes), but...does it mean the same to you? Let me know in the comments below.

    Isolation is a curse to some, yet can be a boon to artists.

    It can be damaging not to have social contact on a regular basis, but it can be nourishing to our skill building.

    I have a couple of famous people joining me to share their thoughts on how being alone can be just what the doctor ordered, and is some ways, essential to our professional growth.

    Do you agree? Are you the gregarious type that needs others around you to flourish? Or are you the loner type that needs isolation to focus? Or are you somewhere in between? Let me know in the comments below.

    We know as performers that the way things are handled in our business are sometimes very different from the way they are handled in more mainstream businesses.

    And that can be frustrating, especially when it comes to not getting the booking.

    We're not told why. We never know why. We won't ever know why.

    But that's a double edged sword, especially given this new twist to the traditional rejection letter that the Muggles get when they don't get the job.

    You might be very surprised what current HR practices have led corporate culture to "offer" to candidates who don't "get the booking." Let me know what you think in the comments below.

    It seems like almost everyone, at some point, gets the urge to become a performer.

    They look at the fame, the money, the autograph seekers and just how easy it is and those are just their first four incorrect assumptions.

    Maybe you made some of those. Some rules you thought were true. Some shortcuts you thought might work.

    And then, they, and you, were likely introduced to actual harsh reality. Ugh.

    Building a performer's practice is filled with mirrors and smoke and distortion fields, and once your assumptions are challenged, and you realize that there's a lot of hard work and some amount of luck involved in changing things up, you might need some serenity to accept that.

    And maybe, that you simply can't change what can't be changed, even though you thought it could.

    Have you experienced this? Anything you thought was true but wasn't? How did you handle that? With serenity? Let me know in the comments below.

  • Hey there, hero!

    Creative types have no guarantees.

    Actors, voice talent, writers...have no tried and true template to follow for success.

    Almost everything about our journey is unknown. We have no idea what's coming.

    And that can be scary. It can be frustrating. It can be daunting.

    But...it is heroic. Not everyone can do it.

    But you can.

    And I want to thank you for being heroic.

  • Hey there, hero!

    That moment before you launch into a pickup sets the scene for how that pickup goes.

    And it needs to match the original voice work in terms of tone, energy, emotion and volume.

    And if your feelings, your mouth, your face or anything else is affected by that frustration or anger, or somehow isn't keyed to the lovely and unique moment that the content occurs, that will change, sometimes drastically, how that pickup comes out.

    And that can lead to even more frustration, and less accuracy on your pickups.

    Just take a moment. Don't jump right in to your pickup. You've got all the time in the world, and that extra moment will save you many moments when doing your pickup work.

    Do you find this happening to you? How do you deal with pickup frustration? Let me know in the comments below.

    The United States Federal Trade Commission requires that businesses who show their clients achieving things that require engagement, study, dedication, hard work and a fair amount of luck, and whose other customers likely have varying results...they have to disclose something.

    It's along the lines of "YMMV." Your Mileage May Vary.

    Sometimes you see it in phrases like "Results not typical." It's certainly applicable here: at VOHeroes, we help you create a successful, satisfying and profitable VO career. But you have to do some of the work, and like in all performance, there are no guarantees.

    And the announcement Hopper Stone is going to make in this episode is not typical. In fact, in the world of VO, over 95% of talent will never be able to say what he's going to say.

    But he did it. I'll just let him make his announcement. Press the play button.

    How we go about finding work is a fair bit different from the average Indeed.com job applicant.

    They will track their progress through the job search process in one way...

    ...and we are completely different.

    And for once, we have less work to do than they do.

    You might think you need to track your auditions and clip submissions...and you would be making work for yourself that's unnecessary.

    Do you "track" your submissions? Are you able to let them go? Let me know in the comments below.

  • Hey there, hero!

    We tend to hear the word "opportunity" and dress it up big time, expecting glitzy as opposed to basic work or work that prepares us for further opportunity.

    Opportunities show up in various heights and widths and various levels of glamour.

    Sometimes, they are awesome and legendary. But sometimes, they show up very calmly, ready to do some grunt work.

    And that grunt work is sometimes more spectacular than the glitzy stuff.

    And you get to play and benefit either way.

    Thoughts on how you recognize opportunity when you see it? Let me know in the comments below.

    You're at that delicious moment...a blinking cursor, or waiting for the 2nd to call the cast and crew to quiet on the set, or the first moment you've opened a new audio or video recording window...

    ...how do you feel? Fearful? Anxious? At sea?

    Completely and utterly confident?

    Or maybe, simply excited. Anticipating action. About to DO something.

    How about that last one? It absolutely changes how you feel.

  • Hey there, hero!

    There are great MeetUp groups (like our beloved Voices Anonymous here in LA)...

    ...and then there are MeetUp groups that are not so great.

    I know they meant well, but still...

    Joining a MeetUp group, creating content to be used in a VO demo and sharing among members is possibly the worst strategy I've ever heard.

    And I got invited to participate in this voyage...by that site's algorithm.

    I doubt they could have asked a worse candidate to join their merry MeetUp menagerie.

    The group organizer, I hope, was just trying to help. But he didn't even specify which VO demo was to be built for the members.

    Sigh.

    So...other than that...what did you do to put together your first writing sample, on-camera reel or VO demo? Let me know in the comments below.

    Feel free to wake up every morning and give yourself a break. You are fallible.

    Don't assume that with experience, even a great amount, comes perfection.

    Even if you have years of mastery, you can still make a simple mistake.

    And it doesn't mean anything other than you're a human being.

    You're going to make mistakes. Forever. Learn to take them on as teachable moments.

    I'm now subscribed to two newsletters I cannot quit.

    One is from James Clear, and the other is from Mark Manson.

    Mark is the one that can't stop using the F word in his book titles.

    But that bit of profanity can distract you from the power of his writing. And in particular, the writing in his weekly newsletter.

    In a recent edition, he talked about what we can and cannot change. And it's worth talking about.

    Ever struggle with trying to change something that you simply can't? Let me know in the comments below.

  • Hey there, hero!

    We get comfy when we have a pattern to look at: we create a life for ourselves, we get into a habit, we get systems in place and we think that's it.

    It's never going to change. What we have now is what we will always have, good and bad.

    But is that really true?

    Does what we have now somehow predict what we'll have in the future? Is what we have now all we can expect for the future?

    Absolutely not. Think about the completely random nature of our business. And how we are training to get better, working on new things.

    I'm in the midst of a project right now that I didn't see coming.

    And that can happen to you...at any crazy moment.
