Versatility is the cornerstone of your toolkit. To flex seamlessly between genres is key - from sensitive compelling narration to both whimsical and dramatic characters, to subtle persuasive commercials. How’re you coming along with this?

Gang - Storytelling isn’t just reading. No, it’s waaaay more. Work with your coach to dig deep - grasp, embrace and harness the power of story, and it’s expression. It’ll make a HUGE difference!

Gang - When you're not having success, or perhaps sensing a falloff, it's time for a shake-up. Don't quit. Don't sulk. Don't despair. Just get creative. Up your training. Try new ideas. Go where you’re afraid. Shake things up!

Gang - As a Talent, be fearless. Once your skills are in place & well honed, go for it. Embrace challenges. Push boundaries. And dare to be different - yourself - in your audition reads. The world (via the mic) is your stage.

Is your voice lost in a sea of sameness? Hugging the “safe” middle of the road & not booking? Find your sonic swagger. Work on discovering ur signature voice - a style as unique as your fingerprint. Trust me - the industry loves good vocal unicorns!

Beware of adopting speech patterns in your auditions. They’re deadly.
To solve this issue:
- THINK LESS, LISTEN MORE
- HEAR NATURAL SPEECH
- BE PRESENT IN THE MOMENT
- PRACTICE YOUR TUSH OFF
Now go for it!

It’s vital to periodically reevaluate what you want in your career. Reexamine & adjust your goals/expectations from time to time, to keep pace with your growing, ever-changing life views & attitudes.

“The great gift of human beings is that we have the power of empathy. Empathy is at the heart of the actor's art. Pay attention to the cracks, 'cause that's where the light gets in.'

- Meryl Streep

I NEVER forget, but just in case YOU did - this is your reminder to do your homework for your VO coach before they wring you like a towel.

“No” (from an agent or talent buyer) is NOT a bad word, so don’t let it sting. It simply means “Not yet”, or “Not right now.” Keep working hard on your skill-building. And the second you’re ready w/ what they want, that answer will change.

Gang - Whatever it is you desire…remember: it’s POSSIBLE! So dream big! But for heaven’s sake, don’t stop there. Put your muscle behind it. Do the work! 🏋🏻‍♀️

Understanding the character you’re auditioning for, and doing all the research u can on the creators, their history & tastes, and what they hope to achieve with this project, can give you a much better grasp on how to approach your audition.
