My Voice and Performance Coach

It’s been a busy week, so I had to cut back on the socials to focus on recording, coaching, & momager life. I still laugh about my role as momager, because I honestly never intended on becoming one. My plate was too full to begin with, But here I am! 🤷🏽‍♀️😂 Anyway, in the world of entertainment and voiceover, you just never know! Every day is different for me. One day I’m coaching & recording spots or characters for clients, 👩🏽‍🏫🎙& the next, I’m playing Momager & tutor for my kiddos, on set for a commercial on camera, or singing a jingle back at my home studio. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦📺🎶🎙Ok, soooo…Story time!! I haven’t done a long post in a while, so buckle up! 😆

Yesterday, I was coaching some voiceover students and then bam! 👩🏽‍🏫📚🎙💥🎧I heard from 3 clients within a couple hours (which is always how things go, right?!) One is an on going client, the next was a client I haven’t recorded for in over 5 years, & the other is a TV producer who heard my demos online & contacted me.

Yesterday just happened to be a Network Trifecta. I recorded a few spots for the network podcasts I began voicing recently (there’s an IG post if you scroll around), a sizzle reel for a new culinary show pitching to network & my first ever set of promos for a new show on another network. 🤔 Interesting times!

As a longtime voice, acting, and singing coach of over 20 years, my advice to voiceover talent, actors, speakers, musicians, and singers has always been the same: Invest most of your time training in your craft. 🎭📺🗣🎶🎙It’s always been my biggest & best investment across all disciplines I specialize in. So many talent rush to pour money into marketing, websites, equipment, & demos, before getting coaching, training or honing in on artistry in their chosen craft(s). Craft & artistry have Always been my # 1 priority.

Never stop learning. Spend time in the practice room learning, training, & working on your craft(s). Don’t skip steps and rush into recording demo reels right away, because demos are your most important marketing tool and the creative process should not be rushed, especially in an extremely competitive market.

Demos DEMOnstrate what you can do. It’s not uncommon to book directly from your demos, especially in the promo VO world. Honestly, I haven’t even recorded a promo demo yet, but these network producers heard something on my other demos that they liked (and this is not the first time), so I’ll take this is a sign that it’s time to finally invest in one! 😆 One great demo can get you booked, but solid training will Keep you booked. 🎭📺🎶🎤🗣🎙 Happy Bookings! ❤️
