Episode 57: How to learn to SELL YOURSELF in Voice Over

This is the audio version of our newsletter that came out on March 18th. Click HERE to subscribe to the newsletter.

A big misconception about voice over is once you get your demo/agent/onlinecastingsite/etc, you just wait for the jobs to roll in. VO is a small business and in a way, you need to learn to sell yourself but that sounds so hard/weird/notfun. How do you learn to do that or get to the point where it feels easier?

That's what I cover in this episode.
