In this episode, our guest Elizabeth talks about her entrepreneurial journey – from working with Steve Jobs in his garage to becoming a computer accounting system specialist working with 100's of small business owners. We talk about the early days of Apple, what success looks like, how business owners have to pivot, set benchmarks, look back and reflect, how to get those referrals, and so much more! We even uncover the hidden meaning behind the movie Toy Story. "Steve always recognized opportunities" - Elizabeth Holmes "Business is the best kept secret, it's so much fun!" - Steve Jobs -------- What's the best career advice you have ever received? "You have to change the underlying structure of your life to make real and lasting change." - Robert Fritz, The Path of Least Resistance "Identify your ideal client and don't settle for less." - Gail Ginder, Claros Group What is your proudest career accomplishment and why? I don't know how to answer this question! I'm grateful that hundreds of local businesses that have trusted my skill and discretion for over 35 years. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to be photo editor on a book about the history of Healdsburg. I enjoyed serving on the executive board of directors of World-Voices Organization, an advocacy group for voice actors. I'm proud to have some of my billiard photos in the Library of Congress. I'm fortunate to have been part of the founding of Apple Computer. What has been the hardest career moment and how did you overcome it? My hardest career moment was giving up on being a CPA. I felt like a complete and utter failure for years. It took me a l-o-n-g time to realize that creating a unique niche and filling it served an important need and allowed me to avoid corporate America, which was a terrible fit for me. In the early days of personal computers, accounting software was not as easy to use as it is today. I was comfortable with accounting concepts and personal computers, so I was able to help entrepreneurs focus on what they did best, and delegate administrative tasks to me. Favorite quote: "If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes."

Our special guest is Dave Courvoisier, author of More Than Just a Voice - The Real Secret to Voiceover Success. More Than Just a Voice: The REAL Secret to Voiceover Success is like getting continuing education credits in voice-acting. A practicing journalist of 30+ years, Dave Courvoisier began researching the voice-over profession for his own enlightenment early in the last decade. Then he began blogging — sharing his findings with anyone who was interested. Apparently a lot of people were. Voted as one of the top VO Bloggers in 2011, Dave started getting a following of interested readers in the freelance business of voiceovers. After 2,500 blog articles, friends began urging Dave to publish a collection of his best blogs. More Than Just a Voice is that book. For those seeking answers about getting into the business, to others who needed a refresher on the latest techniques and trends, More Than Just a Voice is the perfect answer. It’s also some common sense advice in the face of rumors to the effect that voice-acting is a license to print money. After all, it’s just talking, right? Voice-acting is a lot more than “just talking”, and this book proves that the VO hopeful needs to develop some good freelance business practices, get some coaching, and start practicing. In other words, one must do their homework. More Than Just a Voice is your first assignment. Dave Courvoisier is the former nightly news anchor at the CBS-affiliated TV station in Las Vegas, NV: KLAS-TV. Before that, he anchored at the NBC station, bringing to 25 years his total time on the air in Las Vegas. He has garnered numerous local, state, regional and national awards for work with disadvantaged children through his weekly profile of adoptable children on the “Wednesday’s Child” program. Dave has also won several Television Arts and Academy awards (Emmys), and serves on the board of BoysTown NV. In the last decade, Dave has also become a freelance entrepreneur in the area of voice-acting; launching his own voice-acting business, recording for global clients in his private, professionally-equipped studio, and blogging for the voiceover community on “Voice-Acting in Vegas”. Dave has narrated over 40 audiobook titles, and is experience in medical/technical narrations, explainer videos, radio and TV commercials, as well as documentaries and corporate training videos. Dave quickly gravitated to the promise of Social Media for his marketing needs, and hosts a number of online VO community groups and forums on most popular social media networks. He has given numerous presentations on the subject of social media and voice-acting at several Voice Over conferences and unconferences, as well as webinars, seminars, and industry panels. Dave serves as the Exec. Vice President of World-Voices Organization, a voice talent industry trade organization, is a social media coach for Edge Studio, and was named one of the most influential VO bloggers of 2011.

This week on the VO School Podcast we are talking about voiceover conferences! Working as a voice actor can be a lonely profession, especially if you work predominantly from home. One way to get out of your booth and meet your peers, agents, producers and coaches is to go to one of the many voiceover conferences that take place around the world each year. Joining me this week are Gerald Griffith - founder and CEO of VO Atlanta, the biggest voiceover conference in the world. And Dave Courvoisier, voice actor, Emmy Award winner and President of World Voices Organization and the WOVO Conference. What exactly is a VO conference? Why should you attend? What can you leave with that you didn’t have when you arrived? How do you choose which conference to attend? And how can you make the most of the connections that you make? We also take a peek behind the curtain at the planning of a major voiceover conference and we learn how much work is involved in the preparation and overseeing of such a major event.

In Episode 005, we're joined by guest co-host Dave Courvoisier. Dave is a professional Voice-over talent and News Anchor with over 30 years of experience, as well as an established author and blogger. Dave also serves as one of the founders of WoVo, the World Voices Organization.
