13228: Is It Easier To Book An Audiobook Job Than Other Acting Gigs?
04/22/25 • 6 min
Hey there, hero!
If you’re a professional, acting can take all kinds of forms.
TV. Film. Stage. Commercials. Digital. VO. Audiobooks. And so much more.
But the rarity of on-camera work is even more pronounced now than it has been in the past.
The numbers are very different in some categories than in others. Like, say, audiobooks.
Lots more opportunity than in any mainstream on-camera work.
But the numbers are, even in audiobooks, nuanced by your engagement and your acting ability and your mad skills in showing that off.
If where you engage your acting skills are at least the same level of engagement you place your technical skills, you’re going to move the needle in your favor.
It’s a reminder and a significant difference.
Do you keep in mind to focus on the acting part as well as the tech and the project management? Does that move the numbers for you? Let me know in the comments below.

13227: I Feel Seen And Heard…By James Clear
Hey there, hero!
So there I am, minding my own business, checking my email after submitting an on-camera audition (I didn’t even change out of my scrubs for this episode), and I see the latest edition of the author of Atomic Habits ( paperback | audiobook ), James Clear’s weekly 3-2-1 newsletter ( subscribe here ).
#3 in the third of his gems stopped me in my tracks.
He was singing my song. You know, my song of success (or at least the definition of success I’ve been singing for decades).
I can’t tell you how joyful I am that he agrees with me.
And I ask a simple question toward the end of the episode that I’d love for you to answer below in the comments (on VOHeroes.com/podcast - go there if you’re reading these show notes on YouTube or on your podcast listening app).
Does my definition of success help you? Frustrate you? Confuse you? Comfort you and support you? Let me know in the comments below.
