In seven years of blogging only to the community of voice actors, specifically on the subject of voice acting, I've educated myself and others on the challenges of being a freelance voice artist. My first diplomatic answer to my caller is: being a success in voice acting requires more than just a voice. I've had to gingerly explain the real secret to voiceover success so often that it became clear: somebody needed to tell the truth about being a voice-actor. It's hard work! It's a business and should be approached as a business.

I remember when I decided I wanted to grow my business online, I felt completely overwhelmed, not to mention extremely disorganized. Should I build on Facebook or Instagram...or both? How could I utilize my Facebook group to turn it into a prospecting machine? What about teaching people that joined my team how to do this? And the dreaded "A-word" - algorithm? I had no clue! I decided to dive in head first and take every single training, workshop, or coaching program I could afford to learn everything possible.

Three short years ago, when Chris Brogan and Julien Smith wrote their best seller, Trust Agents, being interesting and human on the Web was enough to build a significant audience. But now, everybody has a platform. The problem is that most of them are just making noise. In The Impact Equation, Brogan and Smith show that to make people truly care about what you have to say - you need more than just a good idea, trust among your audience, or a certain number of followers.

Sidney is a dreamer who wants his own Walden Pond; Iris is a budding actress whose own backstory is a performance. They're caught in a moment where, "the world is about to crack right down the middle," as the play tackles racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, liberal complacency, and more.

Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent times. But there was a dark side to that scene as well. Many didn't make it out alive, and many of those deaths remain shrouded in mystery to this day.

No one other than Warren Zanes, rocker and writer and friend, could author a book about Tom Petty that is as honest and evocative of Petty's music and the remarkable rock and roll history he and his band helped to write. Born in Gainesville, Florida, with more than a little hillbilly in his blood, Tom Petty was a Southern shit kicker, a kid without a whole lot of promise. Rock and roll made it otherwise.

What goes on inside a great narrator to make them great? This groundbreaking work answers this question by exploring the psychophysical aspect of voiceover. The listener is given a bird’s-eye view of the professional narrator’s mental, physical, and vocal ”machinery” as well as an in-depth look at the underlying currents that power it: energy, intention, emotion, connection, and flow. Voiceover Narration inspires the listener to gain a deeper understanding of the nuances of voiceover performance within each narration subgenre.

An incredible resource!
I love Andy so much! Her personal story is not only inspiring and captivating, but through this book she shines so much light on how ANYONE can pursue a dream of becoming an audiobook narrator, while giving in depth and realistic expectations to beginners. I’ve been researching and learning on my own, and met Andy through a webinar, and the minute she spoke about her book, I IMMEDIATELY downloaded it!
She gives a fresh & direct perspective, and allows you to really challenge yourself and consider all aspects involved.
Thank you Andy for writing & narrating this! (Her voice is absolutely gorgeous as well!)
