Why do people who enter the voiceover industry not understand it?
The voice-over industry is often misunderstood and misconceived by newcomers. Many people who enter this industry have preconceived notions about what it means to be a business, particularly a voice-over business. However, these ideas do not align with the reality of the industry. Additionally, some individuals are hesitant to be considered a business, but being a voice-over artist requires knowledge of taxes, invoicing, negotiating rates, marketing, and content writing, among other things. These skills directly impact decision making and effectiveness as a voice actor.
"The key to making effective decisions in the voice-over business is to have accurate systems of thought." - Tom
How can you understand what it means to run a voiceover business?
The key to making effective decisions in the voice-over business is to have accurate systems of thought. Collecting accurate information from experienced voice actors, genre coaches, demo producers, and marketing & branding experts can help you understand the industry and develop your business as both an artist and a person.
An effective voice-over business anyway is a combination of how you think and how you execute. How you think about yourself, the voiceover industry, and your relationship to it will have a direct influence on how you execute.
