SYNOPSIS
Not booking as much as you’d like to…or at all? Maybe the issue is what you are doing before you hit “record”: your process. Your workflow sets the stage for success (or sabotage). In this hands-on, practical workshop, we’ll break down your current approach and identify what’s working, what’s not, and what’s missing. Then, we’ll rebuild a stronger, smarter process that gets results.
Think of it as a complete tune-up for your voiceover engine—so you stop guessing and start knowing you've nailed the read before you even hit playback.
You’ll leave with a customized workflow that builds confidence, books jobs, and (yes!) makes the whole thing more fun again. Never get behind the mic again crossing your fingers and hoping to produce a bookable read. You’ll know you nailed it. You will learn::
A confidence-boosting, repeatable process tailored to you
Techniques to make your reads stand out in a saturated industry
Insights into which VO niches best suit your voice and style
How to know if it’s time for a new demo—or new representation
A smarter, smoother pre-recording routine that gets you booked
