13189: Your Demos Should Not Be Rushed. Or Crowdsourced.

7/22/2024
Hey there, hero! There are great MeetUp groups (like our beloved Voices Anonymous here in LA)... ...and then there are MeetUp groups that are not so great. I know they meant well, but still... Joining a MeetUp group, creating content to be used in a VO demo and sharing among members is possibly the worst strategy I've ever heard. And I got invited to participate in this voyage...by that site's algorithm. I doubt they could have asked a worse candidate to join their merry MeetUp menagerie. The group organizer, I hope, was just trying to help. But he didn't even specify which VO demo was to be built for the members. Sigh. So...other than that...what did you do to put together your first writing sample, on-camera reel or VO demo? Let me know in the comments below.

13188: Success-ful Doesn't Mean Mistake-free

7/15/2024
Hey there, hero! Feel free to wake up every morning and give yourself a break. You are fallible. Don't assume that with experience, even a great amount, comes perfection. Even if you have years of mastery, you can still make a simple mistake. And it doesn't mean anything other than you're a human being. You're going to make mistakes. Forever. Learn to take them on as teachable moments. How do you treat yourself when you make a mistake you don't think you should have made? Let me know in the comments below.

13187: You Might Want To Listen To What Jodi Picoult Has To Say

Hey there, hero! This episode is a simple reminder that some data is visible, and some data is hidden. You likely know who your haters are - and you might not know how many people love you.

13186: What You Can And Cannot Effing Change

7/1/2024
Hey there, hero! I'm now subscribed to two newsletters I cannot quit. One is from James Clear, and the other is from Mark Manson. Mark is the one that can't stop using the F word in his book titles. But that bit of profanity can distract you from the power of his writing. And in particular, the writing in his weekly newsletter. In a recent edition, he talked about what we can and cannot change. And it's worth talking about. Ever struggle with trying to change something that you simply can't? Let me know in the comments below.

13185: A Mistake About Predicting Your Future You Can Easily Avoid

6/24/2024
Hey there, hero! We get comfy when we have a pattern to look at: we create a life for ourselves, we get into a habit, we get systems in place and we think that's it. It's never going to change. What we have now is what we will always have, good and bad. But is that really true? Does what we have now somehow predict what we'll have in the future? Is what we have now all we can expect for the future? Absolutely not. Think about the completely random nature of our business. And how we are training to get better, working on new things. I'm in the midst of a project right now that I didn't see coming. And that can happen to you...at any crazy moment. Questions? Let me know in the comments below.

13184: Keeping All Your Audiobook's Voices Straight

6/17/2024
Hey there, hero! Had a great time on the VOBB (VO Booth Besties) with Jen, Jen and Aleesha: https://www.boothbesties.com/ ...and I had the chance to answer some questions from the attending audience of VO talent. One question that came up was "How do you keep all the voices you create for the characters in an audiobook straight? How do you avoid using the wrong voice for a character by mistake?" Great questions, and one that has a number of different possible answers. Let's explore exactly how to do that - especially as an actor (or writer). How do you keep everyone straight? Is this a challenge for you? Let me know in the comments below.

13183: Scheduling Success (Or Failure)

6/10/2024
Hey there, hero! One of the most satisfying things that can happen to us is that all goes according to plan. That you set up a process, and you follow the path, you execute the steps, and it works out perfectly. But ask yourself: how often does that really happen? Not very often, if at all, I would think. It's really difficult, given all the variables in life, and especially in the performing arts, to set everything up to occur on a particular date and time. And that can be really frustrating, as there are bills to pay and obligations to meet that other people seem to put on the calendar for us. A quick mindset shift for you in this episode: how to be at peace with not having your successes (or failures) timed out to a particular moment, and how to prepare for the ups and the downs. Can you find joy in the random nature of the timing of your results, good or bad? Let me know in the comments below.

13182: Is It Too Late For You?

6/3/2024
Hey there, hero! This episode is for you if you feel like you missed the boat. That you're too old to be the artist you want to be. So... We tell ourselves the stories we hear from others. It's convenient and reliable. Sometimes. But sometimes, the stories we tell ourselves are different from the conventional wisdom. And it's actually all a choice. It depends on how much you want it. If you want to switch up what you're doing in life...you can. Really. And you actually have an advantage to switch things up. I'll tell you what that is, boomer (or GenXer) in this episode - I think you might welcome the option I present. Are you thinking it's too late for you?

13181: That Moment When You're Just About To Hit REC

5/27/2024
Hey there, hero! The little moments in life when we do what we do as performers...record an audition, narrate a chapter in an audiobook, self-tape an on-camera audition...they are juicy, aren't they? I'm wondering what goes through your head, just as you're about to start. To take that "blank page" and add content to it. To change it from nothing to something. Do you have doubts?

13180: Two Ways You Can Buy Back Your Time

5/20/2024
Hey there, hero! If there's one thing we don't have enough of, it's time. But there are ways to guard your time and protect what you have. You can even take steps to re-claim that precious commodity. One is fairly obvious. The other can feel a bit dangerous. A bit risky. I'd like to set your mind at ease about that "dangerous, risky" one. How do you guard your time?

13179: See How Easy It Is To Create A Scam Project On ACX

5/13/2024
Hey there, hero! Our NarrateYourOwnBook.com training course, designed for authors who want to be the voice of their own books, has a lesson in it that shows them how to "claim their title" from Kindle and start the process of producing the audiobook version of their book on ACX. You'd think you'd need some sort of permission to claim a title, but you'd be wrong. In this episode we discuss how easy it is for scammers to create ACX projects from any title that has yet to be claimed, leaving us in the position of being taken advantage of. As a narrator, you'll want to watch this, and then be extra vigilant when someone contacts you out of the blue on ACX to narrate their book. And if you're an author, you'll want to watch for your title being claimed without your permission. Could it be any easier? Thoughts on this? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero! I'm just starting the process of taking a course, and I'm looking for advice from you. Whether you formally teach others or not, we all make the move from showing others how to do something to learning how to do things ourselves.

13176: Ruts and Goal Trauma

4/22/2024
Hey there, hero! It's easy to get into a rut. You get used to doing something, you're not challenged any longer, and it starts feeling monotonous. Even if your goal was to create a reliable ritual. It just gets old. You get stuck. Then Ajarae Coleman jumped in with a new concept. You try to shake things up, and strike out for something more challenging. Something new. And it doesn't quite work out. The feelings you have when you try something, fail at it, and reflect on the process can range from the thought that you learned something to "meh" to disappointment to outright sadness to..."goal trauma." (Yeah, I didn't know what that meant either, until I used the google to find out what Ajarae was on about.) Please discuss, once you've watched the episode.

Hey there, hero! The number one answer to the question I ask when I'm trying to gauge a student's concerns about learning, "What are you most worried about?" is so interesting. And we don't really think about that one moment, that one concern, that everyone in the world has also experienced. It's a universal. And if you give this momentous occasion a thought or two, it can really change your perspective on being a beginner. Or a "never tried it.". Or, at some point, an experienced professional.

Hey there, hero! Ever been in the situation where you have an abundance of great choices? An embarrassment of riches when it comes to solutions, any one of which would be great? Does it stop you from making a decision on which to choose? I mean, how often do you have a bunch of options...that are all good? Here's a hall pass for choosing any one of them that would work out for you. It's OK to succeed, even when it's surprising. Is it rare for you to have more than one good choice?

13172: Know Your Brand, But Don't Let It Limit You

3/25/2024
Hey there, hero! Knowing your brand is essential, but once we determine the boundaries of our brand we might mistakenly misuse that knowledge. In this episode, I'm going to give you two examples around opportunities and your brand. Your brand can be your first filter, but then...I have a secret weapon for you. And it depends who is asking - if you're searching, or if someone is searching for you. You might be tempted to reject opportunities because "it's not my brand." My advice might run counter to that. Ever turn something right off the bat because it wasn't your brand? Let me know in the comments below.

13171: A Simple Shift For Your Mental Health

3/18/2024
Hey there, hero! Does the world these days tend to make you angry? I know there are aspects of our existence that piss me off. And I want to delete those things. Don't you? James Clear helped set me straight. You know, the guy who wrote Atomic Habits? He got me again this week with something in his newsletter. Once you hear it (I repeat it, it's so good!), let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

13170: Your Brand: On-Camera vs. Audiobook Auditions

3/11/2024
Hey there, hero! The consideration you make for a single role in an on-camera or stage opportunity and the many many characters you might play in an audiobook... ...means your personal brand is likely going to be less of a discriminator. You're not auditioning for that one character. You're auditioning for the entire cast. Once you let that marinate...does that help? Or does that give you pause? Let me know in the comments below.
