So you booked your first agency gig. Congratulations! Here are seven suggestions on what you should and should not do!

When you're starting out in voiceovers, it will be tempting to work pro bono or on the cheap just to win over a client.

In this episode, Terry talks about making script performance skills a priority!

The extra mile is a mark of excellence! It discloses your level of dedication, determination to earn repeat business, and willingness to do whatever it takes to keep a client for life. It's a powerful habit and a point of competitive advantage.

Voiceover demos are your calling card and I can't stress enough how important it is to get them professionally produced by a demo producer who knows the industry well.

Auditioning is a part of everyday life in being a voice actor but you don't need to put all your energy into auditioning on P2P sites or other platforms on the internet.

Ignore the delusive dreck in blogs and VO books about "industry standards" and how you need to use Pro Tools to be considered a professional. This is pure nonsense. There is NO industry standard on this. Use the one you're most comfortable with!

Remember the movie, Say Anything with John Cusack? Yeah, this dates me a bit, but it was a great movie back in the '80s. Lloyd's buddies were constantly hanging out at the Gas N' Sip. Hear more on this latest episode of VO Sermons!

During the start of my career, I was fortunate to have booked a few clients right away but I hit some bumps in the road and started questioning if I had made the right decision. But then I began to think about why I left corporate America.

Whether it's a commercial or a narration project, I always try to pull a personal experience out of my performance. This should be something you're passionate about. Something happy, funny, or sad that happened to you.

Bottom feeder voiceover services are making a killing with YOUR money! Not only do they charge their clients ridiculously low rates, but it's the talents on their rosters who get screwed.

In this episode, Terry talks about how P2P audition sites should never be your only marketing tool!

Believe it or not, Christmas is just around the corner. But, if you're a voice actor, it was around the corner in February!

Being scared and uncomfortable is okay when you're just getting started in voiceovers. You're going to feel this way for a while but you have to keep going!

In this episode, Terry talks about how the UVT coaching team came together!

I want to take you back to the early 90s when I booked my first voiceover gig. It was a tag for a law firm commercial. Short and sweet, right?

A solid voiceover performance is more than just having a good voice and reading the words on a script. Hear more in the latest episode of VO Sermons!

While finding your niche is essential, be careful not to pigeonhole yourself before getting some experience. Hear why on this latest episode!

First, being rejected by a talent agent is part of the business. It happens to all of us. Even pros who have been in the industry for thirty years! In this episode, hear why this isn't a huge deal!

Welcome to the era of the voiceover business, where you can record your voiceover demo from home while your coach directs you via zoom!

While a professional demo is essential to getting work and being represented by a talent agent, this isn't the best way to market yourself on social media. Hear why on this latest episode of Voiceover Sermons!

Setting up a home studio is extremely important but think about it; if you don't put the same kind of investment into coaching and learning the skills, what good will your gear do you?

There's no question that a voiceover demo is your calling card. Talent agencies and production companies will always ask for one when you make inquiries about being considered for rosters and jobs. What is equally important is making sure your demo has original content on it.
