SYNOPSIS
Not booking as much as you’d like to…or at all? Maybe the issue is what you are doing BEFORE you record. Like taking a car in for a tune-up, we will take apart and examine the components of your voiceover process, figure out what work and what doesn’t, what is missing, repair it, put it into practice, and send you on your way with an effective routine. With your process tuned-up, you will always deliver the richest, most specific, you-centric story possible - and that is what lands the job. Never get behind the mic again crossing your fingers, hoping to produce a bookable read. You’ll know you nailed it. You will learn::
