• The Voice Actor’s SURVIVAL Guide to Direct Marketing

  Marketing directly to prospects as a voice actor can feel like standing on a diving board, staring into the deep end, and wondering if there’s a shark or a nuclear bomb in the water.  You’ve probably heard about cold emailing and thought, “That’s just spam, right?” Or maybe the idea of bothering someone with an unsolicited email gives you flashbacks to awful networking mixers where everyone exchanges business cards and fake smiles.  I get it—cold emailing feels like uncharted territory for a lot of voice actors.  But here’s the truth: it’s how I built my 6-figure VO business.

• Advocating for WOMEN in VO: Building Doors w/ Christy Harst

  Fact: Women account for over 40% of the fan bases of the NFL, MLB, and NHL.  Fact: Women comprise 47.7% of viewership of Super Bowl 58.  Fact: Media coverage of women's sports has nearly tripled in the last five years.  So why isn't a female voicing this? "NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Championship. Attendance is encouraged. Passion is mandatory. Buy your tickets today at ncaa.com."  And why can't a female voice this? "It's more than the Super Bowl. It's the Super Bowl in Las Vegas."  When it comes to advertising sports, movies, and brands that women spend time and money supporting, women want to see and hear women promoting them.  So how can we let the higher-ups know what we really want? Well, when there's no door to kick in, we have to build one. It's time to start building doors for women to walk through.  Because after all, kicking them in just ruins our shoes. 😉 @buildingdoorsvo https://buildingdoorsvo.com _____________________________ ▶️ Watch this video next: https://youtu.be/BzSc3XNnXls SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@vo-pro?sub_confirmation=1 The VO Freedom Master Plan: https://vopro.pro/vo-freedom-master-plan The VO Pro Community: https://vopro.app Use code You15Tube for 15% off of your membership for life.
