VO Marketing Podcast Listener and Author Tania Sims is My Guest in this Episode!

Tania-Sims

Tania Sims

I have to admit it. I’m a little proud of this. VO Talent Tania Sims is a listener of this podcast and she took some advice from a few of the episodes and wrote her own book called the Ultimate Resource Guide for New and Aspiring Voiceover Talent: How to Access Valuable Tips and Resources You Need to Start and Continue as a Working Voiceover Talent”

I had to get her on the podcast.

In this episode Tania and I discuss:

  • The Importance of who you associate with to help you reach your goals
  • Several Books that have helped her take action and grow her business
  • Her Book and why she wrote it
  • The Importance of Continuous Learning
  • The Power of Persistence and so much more.

This was a great conversation loaded with nuggets of powerful ideas and take-aways to help you grow your VO Business.

Here are links to Purchase Tania’s Book and the other Books she mentioned:

Episode 40: How To Entertain – An Interview With Gallagher the Comedian

Gallagher_2

Gallagher in the Studio with John Melley

So, awhile back I had the opportunity to interview one of my favorite childhood comedians, Gallagher.

Sure, his “Sledge-O-Matic” routine was sure to appeal to a 12 year old boy, but it appeals to adults too.

One bit I remembered was his observations on the inconsistencies of the English language. I marveled at his ability to string them into a story that made you laugh.

Prior to my interview he asked me to record a series of poems he had written. To watch him perform them was a real treat. To record them, an honor. To follow their meaning was an opportunity to appreciate the work of an amazingly clever and creative person.

I share one at the end of this episode.

Some of the thoughts he shares are controversial, but hey, all comedy is at some level and he has strong opinions.

Listen for his thoughts on How to entertain, practice and prepare. Listen to his strategic decisions. Learn why he makes the decisions he does and how/why he chooses a “Stress Free” life.

Lots of gems in this one. Enjoy!

Episode 29: What Does Voice Over Have in Common With Tapping a Hammer…(?)

Short Episode This Week!

Intro Music excerpted from Rush’s “Countdown” on their Signals Album

 

Short Hammer Story on How Knowing What Value You Bring To The Table Can Help You Justify Your RatesHammer

We frequently get push-back from clients and prospective clients on our rates – Hey it’s just reading out loud Right? … right.

This episode features a short story and some other real life examples from my world that will help you re-frame how you approach this topic.

Re-framing the rate question allows you to bring in your life experience to your performance and skill set.

Differentiating between the simple “Audio File” and the performance within the audio file is how you can charge higher amounts for your voice over services.

With that in mind you need to use your personal story in your marketing.

Joe Bevilacqua

In this episode of the Podcast I talk with Joe Bevilacqua A.K.A. “Joe-Bev” about using your voice over and production skills to create products on your own and how to profit from them.

About Joe:

Since 1980, Bevilacqua has produced any award-winning radio programs for National Public Radio, Sirius XM Radio and others.

In 2012, Bevilacqua signed an exclusive distribution deal with Blackstone Audio, for his more than 40 years of audio work. He is releasing hundreds of hours of audio documentaries, comedies, dramas, autobiographies and more.

Bevilacqua  won a 2007 New York Festivals Awards for his “Tribute to Joe Barbera” which aired on NPR s All Things Considered. And his NPR Weekend Edition story “A Guy Named Joe Bevilacqua” won the 2004 National Federation of Community Broadcasters Award.

Do you spend your days (and nights?) staring at computer monitors and hand held devices? Have you noticed that it’s affecting your vision? You know I’m BIG into peak performance and health/wellness.

Z-health is the company that developed the training system that I use with my trainer to stay flexible. First and foremost, Z-health is a complete training system that puts you back in control of your own performance.
