13117: What To Do The Moment You Hit Record (Hint: Nothing)
02/07/23 • 5 min
Hey there, hero!
I'd like to help you break a habit I see some voice talent doing when recording auditions (and even work): immediately beginning their voice work, as if waiting was a sad waste of tape...or electrons?
This applies to on-camera work as well - no need to jump right in and start performing the instant you see your camera recording.
Take your time. Give yourself a break. Then, do great work from a position of ease and grace. In this episode, I'll show you how.
Have you found yourself jumping into action just because you've hit the record button? Let me know in the comments below.

13116: You Asked Me (Anything) About Audiobook and ACX - And Boy, Have I Got Answers
Hey there, hero!
We've just opened registration for the new 2023 ACX Master Class, and because so much has changed for voice talent in the audiobook narration world and with ACX, I invited you all last week to ask me questions.
And I got some great ones: on the editing, on how to judge a book's potential profit, on how much time it actually takes to narrate a book and more.
I answer all of them in this week's podcast episode, so strap in, and get the skinny on the latest updates.
And, of course, if you haven't yet joined us, we'd love to have you as a 2023 ACX Master Class student, building a solid audiobook narration practice. 9 PM Pacific tonight (Tuesday, Jan 31, 2023) is the deadline for the Early Action Bonus pricing, where we pay the first $300 of your tuition, so here's the link:

13118: Art? Or Money?
Hey there, hero!
Are you an artist that has decided that money should never enter into your decision making process?
Are you worried that you'll become a "shill" for "the man?"
Have you convinced yourself that you must suffer as an artist, or you'll be lesser for it?
Any other questions about art versus money? Let's discuss this sticky subject in the comments below.
