Episode_56: Your Voice Over Questions Answered!

It All Started with this Post in the Voice Over Marketing Podcast Group on Facebook:

Hey folks! What are your stumbling blocks/obstacles you face? Hit me.😜

Then came the questions and comments. Some were humorous like “Stairs” and “Getting up in the morning.”

Bwah hah ha haaaa.

Then they became serious. Things like:

  • Pay to Play Sites
  • How To Make Money
  • The Difference between Marketing, Branding and Networking
  • Getting representation
  • I even explain how someone who is a professional butterfly collector can make money in voice overs

I tackle ’em all and more in this first of its kind episode of this podcast.

Listen. Take Notes and Enjoy!

The DeFlame Diet.

So I have a great book I want to recommend to you. It’s called “The Deflame Diet: DeFlame your diet, body, and mind” by Dr. David Seaman.

This book is great. I’ve been eating this way for awhile now. If you’re a Voice Talent who has to clear their throat a lot throughout the day, maybe have some post-nasal drip, or are feeling sluggish and run down – you want to check this book out. The link above is an affiliate link through Amazon.com.

It was given to me by my trainer Mandla Nkosi. The book explains through scientific research that most chronic diseases like heart disease, high blood pressure, bad cholesterol, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and a host of others are all caused by eating an “Inflammatory diet.” An inflammatory diet is one that promotes chronic inflammation throughout the body that over time leads to these diseases.

Sources of inflammation are refined sugars and grains – pretty much a good portion of the “Western” diet. The book explains how inflammation gets started and how it affects every cell in our body. It also explains how to “DeFlame” and live a healthier lifestyle. It’s not as crazy and hard to do as you may think. You just need to look out for a few key ingredients and eat whole, unprocessed foods.

Episode_55 How to Overcome Obstacles & A Tribute to Dick Durante

The Obstacle is The Way:

This Episode picks up where the last Episode left off. Getting Un-Stuck. I came across this great book and it helps you re-frame what might be holding you back from accomplishing what you set out to do. The Book is The Obstacle is The Way, by Ryan Holiday

I also discuss overcoming my hesitancy to share.

Tribute To Dick Durante

Dick Ddurante

My very first production teacher and mentor Dick Durante passed away this past January. I hadn’t spoken with him in a few years, but I owe a lot to him for the opportunities he afforded me. We became colleagues and friends.

I’m sad to see he’s gone. I’ve included a couple of Dick’s Demos at the end of the episode as a tribute to him.

Rest in Peace, Dick.

If you want to know why it’s important to track this stuff, you should read my post on the Importance of Daily Tracking here.

It was given to me by my trainer Mandla Nkosi. The book explains through scientific research that most chronic diseases like heart disease, high blood pressure, bad cholesterol, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and a host of others are all caused by eating an “Inflammatory diet.” An inflammatory diet is one that promotes chronic inflammation throughout the body that over time leads to these diseases.

Sources of inflammation are refined sugars and grains – pretty much a good portion of the “Western” diet. The book explains how inflammation gets started and how it affects every cell in our body. It also explains how to “DeFlame” and live a healthier lifestyle. It’s not as crazy and hard to do as you may think. You just need to look out for a few key ingredients and eat whole, unprocessed foods.
