Your Voice Over Business: Why Keep Investing?
(Short answer: Because it pays off!)
Is Your VO business a “dead shark”?
"Alvy Singer", in the movie Annie Hall, says:
A relationship, I think, is like a shark. You know? It has to constantly move forward or it dies. And I think what we got on our hands is a dead shark.

Okay, listen: I've been a successful Voice Talent for many years. Sure, "success" keeps getting redefined as my life and ambitions progress, but still. I do make a living communicating someone else's words into a microphone and into a listener's ears. Every once in a while I sit back and remember: This is so cool!
A major reason I still work is that I keep investing in my business, and honing my skills.
Example:Lately I notice my audition-to-booking ratio is getting better (yay!). Why? I invested in some coaching and classes to hone those skills, especially in sounding more "conversational" - and it has paid off.
Another one?: I was feeling frustrated when first learning Twisted Wave app on my iPad. Hated recording while traveling. Felt stupid. The solution? One webinar with George Whittam. bingo! Now I know what to do, and love the app...therefore more likely to send auditions and projects even while on the road, if I choose to. Investment made the obstacle disappear.
