The VOHeroes Podcast

Hey there, hero! As kids, our parents often gave us limited choices (if they want to save valuable time and keep their sanity). But you're not a kid anymore. If you're trying to decide between a couple of presented options, there might be one or two that you could consider... ...even if no one's mentioned them as a possibility. You could take a moment when a list of choices are given to you, and ask, "What else ya got? PB&J? Cheese burrito?" Ever thought to yourself that you could have gone in an unmentioned direction? How'd that work out for you? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero! I just got a really convenient, healthy, awesome phrase dropped in my lap. It immediately made sense, and helped me soothe any anguish I have (not much, but it rears its ugly head from time to time) about the uncertainty of our business. And maybe it will help you, too...at a number of levels: decoupling the result from the process of auditioning or spec writing, giving yourself permission to love all parts of the pursuit and more. After you hear it in the episode (hint: it's the title), give me your thoughts, please. Do you struggle with the total randomness of our business? Do you leave room for enjoyment even if you don't get the gig? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero! One of our most famous and revered actors used the title of this podcast as the answer to a question asked of him by an industry rag. The question was, “What’s the most valuable lesson you’ve learned about the business you’re in?” I want to drill down on this, and why, even if you’re not at Brian Cox’s level of notoriety yet, you should learn from this statement as well. Ever feel this way about the second oldest profession in the world? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero! Early in my career in radio, I thought the more inclusive and general I was with my on-air content, the more people I’d attract. I learned that having the audacity to bring my own very personal sensibilities to everything I do was a much better approach. Just being me was the more attractive and authentic thing to do. It didn’t make everyone happy, but it was the path to truth in performance. It’s also a hell of a lot easier to make my stories completely my own, rather than try to come up with the version that the highest percentage of the audience would want. So…have the absolute gall to just. be. you. Be the authentic person you are, and watch the bees come humming to your garden. Does this seem bass-ackwards to you? Does it seem counterintuitive? Or is this hitting the mark? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero! The audience is listening (and watching and reading). And social media and review sites allow them to criticize, rate and review your artwork. And there are always outspoken members of the audience who have things to say. And they aren’t always respectful or constructive. Sometimes, they are downright aiming to hurt you. I have my own approach to ratings and reviews - I pick and choose the reviews I pay attention to (the positive reviews) and the ones I ignore (the negative reviews). And…I don’t do work for the audience at all. Mark Manson said something recently that encapsulates a similar sentiment that I think is healthy for us all as artists. Let’s discuss. Let’s uplevel your mental health when it comes to audience/peer/coach opinions. Do you live and die by the reviews and ratings you get? Do you let the negative ones get to you? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero! So you want to try something new, or do something you’ve never done before, or finally get off your keester and create the first of something. You might not realize how infinitely powerful that action is. And I do mean infinite. I checked, and did so with people who are better at math than I am. There’s a concept called “delta.” The delta of something is the difference between two approaches: if something is twice as good as something else, than the delta is 100%, or two times. Pretty obvious. But what’s the delta between doing something new and not doing anything at all? Yeah. Infinite. Let’s unpack that in this episode. How powerful do you feel when you’re finished taking that first step? How hard is it for you to take that first step at all? Would knowing what a profound change you can create by “just doing it” help you “just do it?” Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero! Sometimes, a little thing can be a puzzler, and can be annoying, and when you figure out how to solve it, can be a bit embarrassing. For years, I didn’t enjoy the notion of shooting a vertical full body shot for my on-camera self-tape auditions… …until I did. I stopped being so precious about it, and made it easy. And gave casting directors exactly what they want: a look at me, head to toe. In this episode, I show you how I do it. (And if you usually listen to the audio version of the podcast, you might want to watch this particular one.) How do you do your full body shots? Is it even easier than how I do it? Willing to share?

Hey there, hero! If you don’t know by now, one of my favorite hobbies is to brag on my VOHeroes Pro clients. (Given how real the struggle is to be a professional performer, and how we constantly have to manage our mindset when we inevitably don’t get the gig, each win is a savory morsel of delight.) Everytime that happens, I get a little giddy. I can’t lose. I always win. It makes me happy inside. And when the joy of success is layered twice over, it’s even better. Karen Merritt is a Lifetime member of the VOHeroes Pro community. She’s been working on her craft for decades, in a town far outside the typical big production centers, and she’s very calm and cool about enjoying her journey over the long haul. No short-term disappointment for her…part of her satisfaction comes from the journey itself. And this past month, Ms. Merritt got not just one, but two validators that she’s the Real Deal. One came from Toastmasters, and one came from the brand partnership between Bath & Body Works and the folks at Disney. Have a look or listen to how things rolled out for Karen and how you might steal a page from her playbook.

Hey there, hero! Ever notice how some people look at acting, voice over or writing and think it’s a snap… …and not that hard to do? I had an aunt that would make snide comments like “Oh, I could do that. Who would think that’s so difficult?” She would say that phrase to make others feel small. And, likely, to try and make herself feel better about herself…and her life choices. In this episode, we’re going to look at just how hard being an artist can be… …and how the best at their craft make it LOOK easy. You deserve credit for how hard it really is, and how easy you make it look. So how do you react when you hear someone, who has no idea what they are talking about. say how easy what you do is?

Hey there, hero! To get from here to there, to move forward (or even, sometimes, backwards), we need to be in a state of motion. Not standing still, but rather moving toward our goal. That sometimes takes bravery. Like when you were first behind the wheel in driver’s ed class (for those of you who grew up in NYC, you’re excused - we’ll see you next time). Pure terror. But you got moving. And that’s what you need to do to “figure it out as you go,” as opposed to the perceived safety of not moving at all. Are you willing to let go of the “safety” of staying perfectly still? Do you just start moving when you need to get something done? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero! The Broadway actor André De Shields has quietly made a stunning career out of performing on one of the most exclusive sets of stages in the world, and although he’s a Emmy-, Grammy- and Tony-award winning actor, he’s not a household name… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/André_De_Shields …but De Shields’ recently-publicized three rules of life ought be memorized and put to use by everyone.

Hey there, hero! Permanence. Import. Outcomes. Results. We make lots of decisions, and we talk a lot about the size of those small, medium and large decisions - but another way of looking at them is…permanence. The long lasting results of all those decisions, if any. The effectiveness of a decision that makes for real change. But instead of size, what about potency? What about import? What about the long-term permanence of your decisions? I found a really awesome way of looking at the effect of a decision that has a different vector than simply its size - and it speaks to how hard some decisions are to retreat from if they just don’t work out. Hat, haircut and tattoo. Do you ever consider the finality, the permanence of your decisions? Have you ever thought about what your decisions can really mean to your overall life choices?

Hey there, hero! Math. Some people love it, and some people scratch their head over it. But this particular math concept is simple: distance is distance, no matter how much time it takes. In a race, the fastest contestants usually win. But the work we pursue and reach for? It’s not a race. So there’s no medal for getting there faster. In fact, it might be better to take your time: you’ll miss less. You might even enjoy the run a bit more. But you have to be at peace with the fact that it’s not a competition. And if you travel 10K…does it really matter how long that takes? Does this business of acting and writing and voice over feel like a race to you? Are you anxious when you see someone succeeding? Do you feel like you’re falling behind if someone else figures something out or gets work? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero! Looking back at when you were just starting out with something can be heartwarming and lovely as you reflect on how far you’ve come. Or, it can be regretful and cringeworthy, as you think about the rookie mistakes you might have made. My answer was a simple one - I spent too much on very expensive potential solutions: on gear, software, courses - and I doubt I was ready for any of it, because I didn’t have the preparation needed to understand how to benefit from some of those “solutions.” I didn’t know what I didn’t know, and I didn’t understand how to take expert advantage of what I had. So, my mistake was to overspend when I didn’t have to. That was me. What about you? What would you do if you could start all over from scratch? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero! Sometimes, the most casual comments can be the most powerful. The moments of conversation that are the least charged can sometimes be monumental. I had one of those moments in a recent co-working session with Coach Trevor Algatt (long time collab and member of the VOHeroes and Narrate Your Own Book coaching squad). And I have a sneaking suspicion that what he had to say (about a...bag) might just land with a bang for you as well. What’s been the most casual takeaway from a conversation you can remember?

Hey there, hero! We’re a few years in on the AI onslaught. No doubt, you have had thoughts on this, both as an artist and as a lover of art. And, I’d be surprised if your thoughts haven’t changed and become more informed and nuanced over the years. I’d love to know what those thoughts currently are. Scroll down and let me know how you currently view AI and synthetic media when it comes to your work as an artist…as well as your enjoyment and consumption of art. Some thought starters: - Do you feel at risk of being replaced by AI? - Do you use AI tools? If so, do you feel any guilt at using those tools? - Do you even realize when AI is being used in the audio, video or text of the content you consume? - What does the future hold?

Hey there, hero! So there’s that thing you don’t want to do. That task that seems insurmountable, that conversation that seems uncomfortable, that project that seems confusing and messy. So you put it off. What do you tell yourself to justify your procrastination? It’s OK…sometimes there’s a really good reason to delay things. And sometimes…there’s just avoidance.

Hey there, hero! Along the lines of what I've mentioned in the past, the rules change as our journey progresses, a hiker once said a version of the title of this episode. The scenery is going to be different as you move through your trek. The same thing happens for us as writers, actors and voice talent. You start off with a set of rules and scenery as a beginner that will be very different from the set of rules and scenery you'll be following and see as you get better and better at what you do.

Hey there, hero! Sometimes, it’s not just A or B, one or the other. You can often be presented with and virtually frozen in place by a stunning and varied array of options in life, and if you’re confused by all the choices, that overwhelm can be paralyzing. We can spend so much time trying to be safe…to be correct…to make no mistakes. And that can lead to not making any choice at all. Think of all the things you might have missed in life by inaction, the interesting twists and turns your life has had, and remember that when you feel frozen by the overwhelm. And know that very few choices are permanent - almost all can be adjusted, changed, reviewed and improved. But only if you take action. Only if you actually make a choice. How do you overcome the need to be sure? How do you choose when the choices are overwhelming? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero! “Return to the breath.” It’s a common phrase that helps you get back to your center when you’re meditating or doing any sort of calming technique. We self correct when driving as well - watching the wheel, making gentle movements on the wheel to stay in our lane. And we can use this minor adjustment technique in other areas in life, including staying on task as we move through the day, and staying gracefully focused on our task list… …as opposed to all the email/social media/TV/anything-other-than-work distractions we can be taken off track with. Just knowing that you can simply say it out loud when you…notice…you’re distracted can help you get back on track. How do you keep yourself quietly on task? What do you do when you’re distracted? Let me know in the comments below.
