Sometimes less is more
As you work on growing your audiobook narration business, you may be tempted to try to narrate every possible genre and sub-genre. And for some audiobook narrators that works well. They enjoy switching between non-fiction and fiction, from romances to history to self-help to science fiction and so on. What I’ve found works best for

Take your performances to a new level
When I need to make sure that my voiceover performances stay at the top of their game, one of the most important places I turn is to spend time with the one and only Marice Tobias. She is a wonderfully insightful coach and if you’re an established voiceover performer, she might be the right option

Why I love narrating audiobooks
Back in 1983 when I first starting working steadily doing voiceovers, I had no idea that at one point 30 years down the road, my focus would shift to mainly narrating audiobooks. Of course, at the time I’d never heard of audiobooks, so there’s that. The main thing I love about narrating audiobooks is that

There are lots of ways to be successful in voiceover
The number of paths to success that are available to you are more wide-ranging than ever. Whatever category of voiceover you fancy, just focus your efforts in that direction each day and you’ll get closer and closer to what you want to accomplish. But there’s one critical element that you can’t leave out. If you

Something fun I recorded this week
Most of the time I try to focus what I post here on ideas and experiences that I hope will be helpful to as many of us in voiceover as I can. But now and then something comes along that is so much fun I want to share it with everyone. Here’s a piece I

You catch more flies
The old saying (at least as I was taught it) goes: you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Not that I’m all that interested in catching flies. Still, the idea is worth thinking about. Being grumpy or unpleasant is rarely a good way to grow your business. Of course, you don’t actually need me

Just thinking today
It’s been quite a while again since my last post. When I started this blog over 11 years ago, my goal was to write about one of my greatest passions: voiceover work. At the time I still had a corporate job, one that I mostly enjoyed. Nothing is ever completely perfect, of course. I had

They tell you that you have a nice voice, right?
I honestly wish I had a nickle for every time I’ve an individual I’ve just met comment about “how often someone says they have a nice voice.” The sound of your voice may eventually have something to do with whether or not you get hired for a specific role or job or project; but it’s

There’s a Jeep in Kelley’s future for sure
You may or may not have seen my friend Kelley Buttrick’s post on her site about Jeep. It’s an arresting and original campaign by Kelley to position herself as the logical choice as the next voice for the Jeep brand. Here is just one example from her site: Kelley’s campaign is brilliant on so many
