Oh boy – this week, we have maybe one of the best podcast episodes for you yet. In this episode, we dig in deep about what it means and looks like to be a Work From Home Voice Actor or Professional, what this type indicates about the future of the voiceover industry, the immense opportunity and flexibility our current world of work presents for Voice Actors who want to work from home and so much more.

This is a must-listen. 

One of the biggest takeaways we hope you get from this episode is the importance of understanding which type of Voice Actor you are. When you understand this, you have a much better idea of what your next steps should be in VO as well as if it’s something you should pursue or not. 

Topics covered:

• The different types of Voice Actors 

• What makes a WFH Professional different? 
  • New wave of Voice Actors who can build VO businesses from home and really anywhere they want vs an outdated approach to the biz i.e. needing a professional 3rd party studio, needing an agent, hiring out help to create business assets, etc.
  • Looking for financial freedom and flexibility in how they work and live
  • Agents are seen as tools not essential to running their VO businesses
  • They are more than “talent” they’re business owners
  • They want to show up as professionals and get paid like them too 
  • Self-sustaining business set up
