Length Matters… but for a different reason than you think:

Listener Ray Girard Asked: Do audition reels over the suggested length really tic agents/clients off? What is the problem with them just cutting it off when they’ve had enough? And… Are Voice Over talent regarded as irritations or do they welcome our reaching out?

I answer his questions, but I think you may find some of the answers surprising – or at least interesting…. I hope.

Listener Kirby Marquez Asked:  Transitioning from pay 2 plays and being a part time voice acting to becoming full time, how to find clients, where to look/network, etc?

How is it Possible I can weave coffee cake and dentists into this answer? Be sure to take notes.

Plus a Bee Update and More!

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.

Have you modified your eating plan to help your voice? Please share your thoughts with us below!
