I am currently mentoring a group of voice over beginners. They’re great folks– positive, enthusiastic and I love them to pieces.<\/p>\n
But most of them are making a big (and potentially expensive) mistake.<\/p>\n
What is it?<\/p>\n
They are doing the wrong things first. Like loading up on studio gear and building elaborate home studios before they’ve even learned how to properly interpret a piece of copy.<\/p>\n
Heck, most of them don’t even have a demo yet!<\/p>\n
Look, I know how easy and fun it can be to whip out a credit card and buy a shiny new piece of gear.<\/p>\n
And I recommend that all beginners purchase a basic USB mic to practice and build their skills.<\/p>\n
But keep it simple. Don’t put the cart before the horse and build a super studio before you’ve got the performance basics down pat.<\/p>\n
Here’s what I think is going on.<\/p>\n
I think many voice over beginners load up on (and hide behind) their professional equipment to avoid dealing with a much deeper issue\u2026<\/p>\n
An insecurity about their talent.<\/p>\n
In this week’s Inside Voice Over video training blog, join me as I do a deep dive into a question that might be nagging at you.<\/p>\n
How do I know if I have the talent to do this? How do I know I’m not just wasting my time?<\/p>\n
I think you’ll be surprised, and hopefully relieved, by what I have to say.<\/p>\n
