Alison's Voice-Over Experts business-related podcast episode was one of the most valuable episodes of Voice-Over Experts to date! Excellent. Thanks Alison for sharing the tips. I would say this is a "must listen" for all voice actors!

If you want to make a living doing VO, then you must treat it as a business - not a hobby. You have to have a combination of Talent, Marketing, Business and (now) Technology skills.
Thanks Alison - well done and well presented.

Dear Wayne, Connie, Blair & Julie-Ann,
Wow , what can I say ! Thank you all so much for your kind comments - to have feedback from some true VO Pros is really fantastic!
I'm hoping the 2nd podcast will be out soon, so keeping my fingers crossed that it will be as well received as this one has been so far...
Thank you all again for taking the time to write your comments - it really is appreciated!
