If you're not booking auditions (in the U.S.A.), it's not your fault. Stop blaming yourself.

This time it involves members of two unions: The Teamsters and…

I got into voice acting over ten years ago and thought it was all about commercials. It turns out it's not; in fact, narrative stuff like explainer videos, audiobooks, and e-learning are a much larger part of the voice-acting universe. I find narration lots more exciting than short commercial scripts and easier to lear…

- Using lines as an excuse - “When I know the lines I’ll be able to perform the scene better” - this is an excuse to cover up many things, mainly inhibitions, the fear of trying something or not knowing what to do because you haven’t read the scene/script enough. As Lee Strasberg (The Method guru) once said, learning l…
