Hey there, hero!

That moment before you launch into a pickup sets the scene for how that pickup goes.

And it needs to match the original voice work in terms of tone, energy, emotion and volume.

And if your feelings, your mouth, your face or anything else is affected by that frustration or anger, or somehow isn't keyed to the lovely and unique moment that the content occurs, that will change, sometimes drastically, how that pickup comes out.

And that can lead to even more frustration, and less accuracy on your pickups.

Just take a moment. Don't jump right in to your pickup. You've got all the time in the world, and that extra moment will save you many moments when doing your pickup work.

Do you find this happening to you? How do you deal with pickup frustration? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

The United States Federal Trade Commission requires that businesses who show their clients achieving things that require engagement, study, dedication, hard work and a fair amount of luck, and whose other customers likely have varying results...they have to disclose something.

It's along the lines of "YMMV." Your Mileage May Vary.

Sometimes you see it in phrases like "Results not typical." It's certainly applicable here: at VOHeroes, we help you create a successful, satisfying and profitable VO career. But you have to do some of the work, and like in all performance, there are no guarantees.

And the announcement Hopper Stone is going to make in this episode is not typical. In fact, in the world of VO, over 95% of talent will never be able to say what he's going to say.

But he did it. I'll just let him make his announcement. Press the play button.

Hey there, hero!

How we go about finding work is a fair bit different from the average Indeed.com job applicant.

They will track their progress through the job search process in one way...

...and we are completely different.

And for once, we have less work to do than they do.

You might think you need to track your auditions and clip submissions...and you would be making work for yourself that's unnecessary.

Do you "track" your submissions? Are you able to let them go? Let me know in the comments below.
