The social media soapbox... a lot of voice actors take "advantage" of social media to create a platform to air their grievances. Rarely does a day go by that someone isn't complaining about rates, jobs, casting sites, auditions, agents or any other number of things. But is complaining online the best use of social media? And your time? Or could it be that all that whining, grumbling and griping is actually costing you work while potential clients form decisions about you as a talent, actor and person? -- Welcome to the Summer Series.

Nothing guarantees voice over work quite like announcing you'll be out of the studio. As soon as you do it, some voice over work will appear. Then, when you actually leave the studio... even more auditions and bookings will appear! Knowing this can make taking an actual vacation stressful. But it shouldn't be. Why? Because voice actors are humans and we deserve to take vacation too. So listen to this episode, and then leave that travel rig behind for a few days! -- Welcome to the Summer Series.

With that in mind, I offer up what I think makes one a professional and it has nothing to do with hours work. -- Welcome to the Summer Series.

It's been ten years since I made the jump into voice over full-time and in that time, I've learned a lot of lessons along the way. Some harder than others. As I was reflecting on a decade of growing my business, I started thinking about what I might do differently given the chance. For the most part, I'm pretty happy with where my business is, and I don't have many regrets on the lessons I've learned a long the way. That said, if I were to get a Delorean and go back in time, there are a few things I'd like to do differently. A few things I wished I had figured out sooner. That's what I'm sharing in this episode.
