This was a wonderful podcast David. At any level we need to be reminded that it isn't just about the voice! I have a mantra I use in my classes - "You need to find the people who want to buy what you have to sell." First you need to know WHAT you have to sell. Then find our WHO wants to buy it. Marketing 101. It's part of our job.

Thanks Connie!
I am just another supporter of Voice Actors who recognize that this is an actual profession. I love the field and am fortunate to continue to meet and work with folks who are doing something they will truly enjoy.
Keep up your great work!

David,
Thank you for all that you do for us Voice Artists.
As a graduate of your training program I may appear to be a little biased, but the information and professionalism that you speak about you and Creative Voices put into action.
And, as they say actions speak louder than words.
Folks, the points that David speaks about here are but the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this profession.
Pay attention to what he speaks about, it will only help.
It does for me. Professionalism and self marketing your greatest tools.

Great podcast once again; I like the 5 points David makes. And having a business plan is essential, people don't go into business without them!
