Voice Coaches Radio #673 – What Do People Fail to Focus On
Voice coaches radio, everything voiceover. Woo. Alright. Welcome to a brand new episode of Voice Coaches Radio. That woo, wake you up, that scare you. Uh, I'm fresh off the treadmill. I've got beads of sweat dripping down my face and I was like, this is the perfect time to go ahead and, and do a podcast episode.
You know, I've got some ideas swirling. I think maybe it was the, the incline on 10 going, uh, you know, over three miles an hour and just, you know, the brain started that kinda activity as well. Um, you know, don't ever think that my brain stops by the way. Um, you know, that's why there's medication involved.
Um, you know, finding out that you have a DHD as an adult. Is like such a trip, I'm telling you. And I, you know, I found that out a couple years ago and it was really just 'cause like I went to the doctor and I, you know, it's funny 'cause I'll tell students this and I'm like, I realized I just met you, but you know what?
I think I wanna tell you this, um, because it's eye opening. I, I went how many years? And I just kept getting like periodically more and more exhausted what seemed like for no reason whatsoever. And here's the thing. I realize I expend a lot of energy every single moment of every single day because of what I do and how I do it.
So I know that I'm using a lot of energy, but you, you have to understand like if you're always doing that, your body's used to it. So like, I shouldn't be at 11:00 AM feeling so tired that if you pushed me, I would just like fall over into like the fetal position. But that's what was happening and I was just like, something's wrong.
Uh, you know, you gotta listen your body. I, I go to my primary for my physical. This was just before he retired. I'm so like sad that he's not in practice anymore, but I, I looked at him and I said, here's what's happening, and if one more person tells me to drink more water, I'm going to actually physically hurt somebody.
And he just like gets out his little pad. He writes me this little prescription and it is like the absolute basic lowest dose of, of just like a, like a little bit of Adderall and. He wants me to take two a day. Can I tell you I take one? Unless I absolutely know that I'm gonna need it like later in the day.
But one does the trick, it clears my mind. It, it like, not, not clears my mind, but allows me. To not be cloudy, if that makes sense. You know, there are some people who just, you know, if they've got a lot on their plate, they, they can't, they like panic and like they can't see straight and they can't go ahead and have the motivation to, to do it or keep things organized.
And I'm like the complete opposite side of that spectrum. So like, I think what happens is the way my brain works is the more I have to do. The better I function. And you know, there are plenty of days where it's like I have a checklist going and I haven't checked everything off and then I get frustrated.
Um, but then I look back and I'm like, no human could have accomplished that in one day. Marissa. You need to chill. Um, but uh, but yeah, so, so now you know a little bit of the workings of the inner parts of my brain. You're welcome. And, uh, we've gotten to the end of yet another month and, you know, hopefully you're over here, you're.
Taking those, those steps in the right direction. And you are feeling good about how the beginning of this year is starting, at the very least when it comes to the stuff that you can control. And, uh, this is, you know, one of those things, you know, I was going through a bunch of different, like Reddits and subreddits and just trying to, I guess, like pick the brains without actually communicating with anybody on.
How voice actors feel and, you know, what are some of the common misconceptions and, you know, what are the things that people fail to focus on? And because I just feel like, you know, we talk about the skill and all that stuff a lot and you know, what it takes to, to do like, you know, the voice work itself, but, but the, the business side of things.
What are the things that are so very vital and so very important when it comes to doing this, you know, as, as like the next phase of your, your, you know, life's journey career wise. And, you know, it's like everybody's journey will be different, right? You know, my journey is vastly different from, you know, Simone's journey here at Voice Coaches or Tina's or Tom's or, or anybody's.
And. It's just, but you look back and while the stories are different there, there are still a lot of similarities I think, and you know, that's what you kind of wanna be. Going and looking forward to is, is the balancing act of it all. And, uh, you know, this is gonna be a, a nice little, it's not even a juggle, it is just like, you know, you got that teeter totter except that there's, you know, more than two sides and you've gotta try to balance it all.
And, you know, it sounds more complicated than it actually is. And I think, you know, the, the. First, you know, month or two of trying to, to accomplish everything that you want to, can feel like, oh my goodness, I don't, I don't know, this just feels like too much. But then you kind of get into the normal swing of things.
I mean, think about any of the jobs that you've ever had. It feels a little complicated at first, right? It's new. Anything that's new is gonna feel a little bit. Unnatural, just a little bit like a, you know, round ball, square hole, you know what I mean? And you're gonna kind of question like, should I be doing all of this?
Is this too much for me to handle? And the, the short answer is going to be, no, it's not too much for you to handle. You just gotta like, take a deep breath and, and organize things the best that you can for you. So, you know, I think that this is like, sort of like a threefold situation because. The, the skills and, and the voice are important, right?
So. You wanna be. It's not like I have the voice for voice acting. You know, it's 'cause everybody has a voice and everybody can utilize that voice. It is what you use, it's what you do with it and how you grow it in your skills that are gonna allow you to stand out as a voice actor. So you know, it's understanding what you need to develop the skill.
It's understanding the acting that goes in and how to bring, you know, emotion to what you're doing. That is the biggest way to stand out, especially in the field today, because guess what? AI in a computer can't bring empathy. Sympathy, any kind of feeling. You know, I was listening to something that somebody sent me and I think my dad sent me a cat video, and it was like the oldest cat in the world, 37 years old, by the way.
Um, and, you know, listening to the, the feet of it. And, uh, my fiance was also hearing it from across the room and she's just like, oh God, I hate ai. Like, you know, it's just so awful because it's very rigid and very monotone and there's no. There's no feeling. So when you're developing those skills, don't leave that out.
Okay. So skills are very, very, very, very important, first and foremost, clearly. Um, secondly, I mean, today's world, you're gonna want to have some sort of setup at home. And I don't want you to think that you have to go and spend some crazy amount of money. You know, not everybody has a budget to go and get the best of the best when it comes to the equipment, and you don't really need the best of the best, let's face it.
You know, like you can always be getting better stuff as you grow and as you earn, you know? So just start with what you absolutely need and. Whether you go and you get a USB mic or you get an XLR, um, you know, make sure that you have, even if it's just something as basic as just like a road podcaster mic, which is on the inexpensive end of things, you wanna have a computer that, that can be sort of heavy duty in, in like a fast moving, um, audio capacity.
Uh, you know, I always go with like a, a gaming computer just because, um, they can, they can do, they can handle a lot more, um. There's free programs to edit. You know, I'm using Audacity right now in this moment before I throw some stuff in Pro Tools and, uh, and get it, you know, uploaded for you to hear. Um, you know, what else goes involved in that.
I mean, you know, people, I. Always recommend getting like a decent set of headphones. I have a pair of DJ headphones simply because I feel like that's how I hear myself, the clearest, uh, you know, some headphones have like a tininess to them and uh, you know, it's just really whatever is good for your ears.
Uh, maybe, maybe some good speakers, but like that can come, you know, if you have the headphones, it's like one or the other in the moment. Um. You know, uh, like it doesn't have to be anything crazy. You know, a lot of people start in their clothes closet, you know, it's 'cause you've got the, the self-absorption right there with the clothes you already own.
Um, you know, so, so don't think that you've gotta go and spend some wild and crazy amount of money to get yourself started now. I said it was threefold, right? Those are the first two things. And the beautiful part about editing is you had no idea that I took a break right there to blow my nose. Uh, but you know, just a little bit of funny here in the midst of learning.
Um, but the, the third part about this is the business side of things. And you know what, I think it might be out of, out of the three, the thing that scares the most people, but you don't wanna let it just slip away for you, you know, because the business part is, is incredibly vital. Um. You know, there are many people that will go and they'll do the rest of the work, but then they, they struggle in this side of it.
And I, I think, you know, the big part is that we tend to hold ourselves back. I mean, we held ourself back from doing this in the first place, right? So you don't wanna go ahead and, and slow your pace, uh, in, in progress and. Do all this effort to, to not then put yourself out there. Don't be scared to do that.
The worst that can happen is like somebody says no, or like, you know, if you send an email, they don't reply, or you leave a message and nobody calls you back like, you know, that's the worst. In fact, like the best things that can happen is even if they say no and they've heard your demo, I mean, maybe they give you some feedback.
Maybe they tell you the things that they're looking for. Maybe they, they say, you know what, we, we can't utilize you right now, but I'd love to keep this on file. And if you could, you know, follow back up with me in a couple months, I might have something coming through. Like, you know, the, the best thing that happens out of the conversations that you tend to have.
Is connection and uh, you know, that that business side of things, it does happen to start with the word that a lot of people hate. Even, even the use of it here in voice coaches because it scares people, is networking. And, um, it doesn't have to be it know, super crazy. It it just like, you know, I always suggest to people it's like, look in your local area there might be businesses that you love and enjoy, that you would love to be a part of, and.
I've had people be like, yeah, but I just, I don't know. You know, maybe they're struggling. I don't wanna bug 'em. And it's like, listen, you could help enhance their business seriously. You know, them spending 25, 50, a hundred bucks or more with you could enhance what they've got going on. And, you know, it does that then you know you're gonna potentially be getting some consistent work.
That's a great relationship to have. Um, you know, and, and you wanna look at. Not just businesses, but like colleges and local studios and, you know, think outside the box a little bit. And, uh, you know, even just the people that you know, those are your first people in your network without even realizing it.
You know, because you just, you, you're never fully aware of who could use you or who knows who that could use you. So just always, always talk like before you're able to get paid for your voice, you still need to use it, not just a developed skill. But to make sure people are aware of what you've got going on and what your goals are, what you want to do, and what you wanna accomplish, you know what else comes along with the business side of things.
Some people are like, do I need to start an LLC and blah, blah, blah. And I, I mean, I've been doing this a long time. I still haven't, should I? Maybe, but nobody's told me otherwise just yet. Of course, when I get my taxes done this year, my lady might be like, you know, it might be time, uh, because your, your social security number's like overloaded at this point.
But, um, you know, we'll see. Uh, but, um, you know, there's. There's things like a website. If you're, you know, working with us and, and you go through the Voice coaches program, you get some sort of starter website with your package. So you'll have that. It's great because then it's like you're able to pass it around, Hey, take a listen to my demo.
You know, and that way, you know, it's, it's right there. It's easy access. Um, you know, having something like that is great. Some people will tell you, yes, have a big, beautiful website. I. I still, like, I purchased one, I still haven't had time to really put it together. 'cause I mean, it's, it's another learning thing for me and I wanna be able to, you know, create it myself.
But in the meantime, what I've just been utilizing is, is a good word of mouth, but. Also just like social media platforms are very, very helpful. You know, I don't know how long we're gonna have TikTok, I don't know if that's gonna stay in place, but I do know that things like Facebook and things like LinkedIn and things like Instagram allow audio capabilities.
Even if it is just in video form, you know, you're able to get quality out there. You're able to put your demo on something like that and, and that is just. I mean, you know, you never know who's looking at that stuff. It is just so beneficial. So don't be scared to even just have that to start brand it all the same.
You know, branding is important. You know, all of my stuff is Marissa on the radio. Like it makes it very easy for people to find me. Um, you know, if it's not that specifically, it's very, very close. And uh, it was just a matter of, you know, making sure that. Everything looks the same. I use the same pictures for everything and you know, whatever.
So, so just, you know, try that consistency is, is very important. Um. You know, outside of that kind of stuff, it really is just then, like, you know, searching and searching for the audition process. You know, there are gonna be plenty of things online, but that networking too is going to be, uh, very, very key in helping allow you to find some opportunities.
So, I don't want you to let the business side of this. Slide. Um, you know, because it is just impor just as important as any of the other steps. And you might be thinking like, well, where does the demo come in? That that's when you feel like I'm ready. I'm, I've been doing, you know, the, the work on this now for X amount of time.
Um. I think I'm good to, to go ahead and throw my first demo together. Don't be scared. Don't think it's too soon. We've talked about this in a previous episode. Some people on the internet will kind of sway people like, ah, don't do it too soon. Because if you're lacking skill, it's going to be a demo showing you're lacking skill.
You are always going to have the ability to improve no matter how long you've been doing this. No. How, no matter how new or. Seasoned you are. So there were always like, everybody's ear is different. I want you to remember that. Okay. Everybody's ear is different. Everybody's feedback is taken with a grain of salt because everybody's opinion is just that, it's their opinion.
Uh, you know, so it's like one person might love the way you do whatever, and then the other person might tell you, eh, you know, you might wanna try to work on that. And that doesn't mean that it's good or bad, it just means that. Everybody's taste is different. So that's why, and right now you're probably like, well then how the heck am I ever supposed to know?
I mean, you just kind of, you, you learn what works along the way. And that's what you've gotta kind of base some things on. Eventually what's gonna happen is you're gonna have real work that you've done, and that is what you can utilize for your demo itself. Um, you know, by compiling some stuff together, having some good samples, and, uh, you're not gonna have to worry about necessarily like creating.
A demo from scratch, if that makes sense. Um, so listen, always hit us up, [email protected]. [email protected] would love to help in any kind of way that I can, whether it's, you know, with a question that we can have here answered on the pod or, you know, behind the scenes. Uh, I'm an email away only.

You know, I've got some ideas swirling. I think maybe it was the, the incline on 10 going, uh, you know, over three miles an hour and just, you know, the brain started that kinda activity as well. Um, you know, don't ever think that my brain stops by the way. Um, you know, that's why there's medication involved.
Um, you know, finding out that you have a DHD as an adult. Is like such a trip, I'm telling you. And I, you know, I found that out a couple years ago and it was really just 'cause like I went to the doctor and I, you know, it's funny 'cause I'll tell students this and I'm like, I realized I just met you, but you know what?
I think I wanna tell you this, um, because it's eye opening. I, I went how many years? And I just kept getting like periodically more and more exhausted what seemed like for no reason whatsoever. And here's the thing. I realize I expend a lot of energy every single moment of every single day because of what I do and how I do it.
So I know that I'm using a lot of energy, but you, you have to understand like if you're always doing that, your body's used to it. So like, I shouldn't be at 11:00 AM feeling so tired that if you pushed me, I would just like fall over into like the fetal position. But that's what was happening and I was just like, something's wrong.
Uh, you know, you gotta listen your body. I, I go to my primary for my physical. This was just before he retired. I'm so like sad that he's not in practice anymore, but I, I looked at him and I said, here's what's happening, and if one more person tells me to drink more water, I'm going to actually physically hurt somebody.
And he just like gets out his little pad. He writes me this little prescription and it is like the absolute basic lowest dose of, of just like a, like a little bit of Adderall and. He wants me to take two a day. Can I tell you I take one? Unless I absolutely know that I'm gonna need it like later in the day.
But one does the trick, it clears my mind. It, it like, not, not clears my mind, but allows me. To not be cloudy, if that makes sense. You know, there are some people who just, you know, if they've got a lot on their plate, they, they can't, they like panic and like they can't see straight and they can't go ahead and have the motivation to, to do it or keep things organized.
And I'm like the complete opposite side of that spectrum. So like, I think what happens is the way my brain works is the more I have to do. The better I function. And you know, there are plenty of days where it's like I have a checklist going and I haven't checked everything off and then I get frustrated.
Um, but then I look back and I'm like, no human could have accomplished that in one day. Marissa. You need to chill. Um, but uh, but yeah, so, so now you know a little bit of the workings of the inner parts of my brain. You're welcome.

You know, my journey is vastly different from, you know, Simone's journey here at Voice Coaches or Tina's or Tom's or, or anybody's.

You know, I don't know how long we're gonna have TikTok, I don't know if that's gonna stay in place, but I do know that things like Facebook and things like LinkedIn and things like Instagram allow audio capabilities.
Even if it is just in video form, you know, you're able to get quality out there. You're able to put your demo on something like that and, and that is just. I mean, you know, you never know who's looking at that stuff. It is just so beneficial. So don't be scared to even just have that to start brand it all the same.
You know, branding is important. You know, all of my stuff is Marissa on the radio. Like it makes it very easy for people to find me. Um, you know, if it's not that specifically, it's very, very close. And uh, it was just a matter of, you know, making sure that. Everything looks the same. I use the same pictures for everything and you know, whatever.
So, so just, you know, try that consistency is, is very important. Um. You know, outside of that kind of stuff, it really is just then, like, you know, searching and searching for the audition process. You know, there are gonna be plenty of things online, but that networking too is going to be, uh, very, very key in helping allow you to find some opportunities.
So, I don't want you to let the business side of this. Slide. Um, you know, because it is just impor just as important as any of the other steps. And you might be thinking like, well, where does the demo come in? That that's when you feel like I'm ready. I'm, I've been doing, you know, the, the work on this now for X amount of time.
Um. I think I'm good to, to go ahead and throw my first demo together. Don't be scared. Don't think it's too soon. We've talked about this in a previous episode. Some people on the internet will kind of sway people like, ah, don't do it too soon. Because if you're lacking skill, it's going to be a demo showing you're lacking skill.
You are always going to have the ability to improve no matter how long you've been doing this. No. How, no matter how new or. Seasoned you are. So there were always like, everybody's ear is different. I want you to remember that. Okay. Everybody's ear is different. Everybody's feedback is taken with a grain of salt because everybody's opinion is just that, it's their opinion.
Uh, you know, so it's like one person might love the way you do whatever, and then the other person might tell you, eh, you know, you might wanna try to work on that. And that doesn't mean that it's good or bad, it just means that. Everybody's taste is different. So that's why, and right now you're probably like, well then how the heck am I ever supposed to know?
I mean, you just kind of, you, you learn what works along the way. And that's what you've gotta kind of base some things on. Eventually what's gonna happen is you're gonna have real work that you've done, and that is what you can utilize for your demo itself. Um, you know, by compiling some stuff together, having some good samples, and, uh, you're not gonna have to worry about necessarily like creating.
A demo from scratch, if that makes sense. Um, so listen, always hit us up, [email protected]. [email protected] would love to help in any kind of way that I can, whether it's, you know, with a question that we can have here answered on the pod or, you know, behind the scenes. Uh, I'm an email away only.
