How Do You Get Paid?

Years ago, someone told me, “get paid for what you know, not just for what you do.”

That simple sentence has stayed with me through every chapter of my life—from business to the airlines to voice-over.

Funny how one sentence can change the way you see your future.

Where does your next IDEA come from?

I’ve realized that some of the best ideas don’t arrive when I’m sitting at my desk.

​They show up while walking my dog, driving down a country road, or simply sitting quietly with a cup of coffee.

​Sometimes the best thing you can do for a problem…is stop chasing it for a little while.

How About It….Paying Attention!!

This week I’m paying attention to what’s happening in the voice-over industry before deciding what to say.
One thing I’ve learned over the years is that technology will keep changing.
The responsibility to tell a story honestly never will.
That’s still what clients are looking for.

Experience, only time knows when and how long~

In my experience curiosity has opened more
doors for me than trying to have all the answers.
 
Ask good questions.
Listen carefully.
 
You never know where the next conversation might lead.

Get The Message!

One thing about voice-over that’s always true, is helping
someone else’s message land the way they intended.

When the script sounds natural,
the audience isn’t thinking about the voice.
They’re connecting with the message.

That’s always the goal.

Take advantage of every opportunity that knocks on your door!

I keep reminding myself, the best opportunities don’t begin with a sales pitch.

They begin with a conversation.

I’ve learned that when you genuinely take an interest in other people’s work, the right opportunities have a way of finding you.

Relationships first. Everything else follows.

Patience, not everyone’s got them.

Some projects take longer than expected.

Not because they’re stalled…

Because they’re worth doing well.

The best work usually isn’t rushed.
