Posture! It's all about the posture.

If there is a trick to muddling through using voice over work it's contained in an address to graduates at a college in the USA.

Get a dull well paid job and do what you love in the evenings and on the weekends.

Tax Lawyers make more money than most people, some fly in private jets. Y'know there could be some who get home from work and bang out a few auditions on WootAwesome.com.

If anyone reading this is making a living doing voice over work you are a blip in the statistics, an anomaly, a freak, your success is more as a result of serendipity than it is to training, demos and 52 conferences per year.

Prioritise - Money for ...Roof over head. Food in belly. Life in abundance. You can waste the rest and there are plenty in our business who will help you do it.

Two voice over people in the same street complete a survey. In 2021 Dave earned $1 while Debbie earned $999,999. Average income for a Voice Actor in their region $500,000. Both are vulgar, Obvs!

... I can help you with that.

My course in ASTROLERCISE! (tm) has broken records for results with physical movement combined with Anecdoterol (tm): a people-proven custom-designed mix of organic compounds in which a hydroxyl group is bound to a carbon atom, and nose-breathing techniques that only YOU can use effectively.
