Episode 52: How to Handle the Ups and Downs of VO Income
We’re starting something new! We’ll be releasing the AUDIO version of our email newsletters every Monday, except for the 1st Monday of every month. The 1st Monday of every month will still be our usual INDUSTRY focused podcast interview.
Still make sure to stay subscribed to the email newsletter because that’s the only place you can sign up for our INDUSTRY PRO virtual workouts (with agents/casting directors), get great deals, hear latest news and sign up for our talent roster. But if audio is better for you, you can just skim the newsletters for that stuff and listen for the content.
Today, we’re talking about navigating the ups and downs of the voice over industry. You may be booking like crazy one minute and then enter a dead season. What do you do when that happens?
