BUSINESS – Newcomers: Set Your Business Goals for Success
Start your voice over business the right way and invest in yourself wisely. My presentation offers tips for beginners you won’t want to miss! For example, how do you get start-up funding? You’re going to need it! The industry is over-crowded right now and prices for work have gone down. There are certain “must-haves” (just as with any start-up enterprise) that cost money. Figure out your funding needs and don’t quit your day job! It’s best to have a Plan A, B, even a Plan C so you have ways to make money when no voice jobs appear.
Also, get trained—not scammed. There are lots of “wolves in the woods,” so choose teachers and demo producers wisely. Voice over work requires skills to be learned through instruction and experience—it’s not a get-rich-quick scheme. I can help you get started.
