  • Episode 8 - 'Hustle' Ft. Carla Terry
    May 14 2024

    🚨Episode 8: “Hustle” is now live!🚨

    In this penultimate Episode of Season 1, we’re thrilled to have the bundle of positive energy that is Carla Terry (@Voicedbycarla) join us for some VO chat (and dish out a bit of motivation)

    If you know or follow Carla on the socials you’ll be familiar with her bright, fun and friendly style as well as sharing some great BTS of her Voice of God events.

    But taking the time to chat to us, Carla talks a little more about her strict routines that help her stay consistent with Marketing, we all talk about our experiences on using LinkedIn where Carla shares some valuable insight into ways to use it as a freelancer, and of course tells us all about her many many years doing the fascinating Voice of God work, including her stint as a presenter on late night tv….

    We hope you enjoy this penultimate episode and as always, thank you to our listeners and supporters, we can’t tell you how much we appreciate it

  • Episode 7 - Survive 'n' Thrive Ft.Susie Valerio
    May 7 2024

    It was an absolute pleasure to have @susievalerio join us on this week’s episode. Susie is a multilingual award winning storytelling voice artist, , experienced casting and production pro at @soundcutsltd, and all round bloody legend.

    As a Casting Director in video games, we talk about what it's like to be on the other side, a bit about AI and how going global could help you book alot more work....

    We created this podcast to help voiceovers feel connected through some honest banter and said that this wasn’t necessarily the place to come to learn, well apologies we were wrong. We’ve learnt something from every one of our guests and never more so than from Susie.

    We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we did recording it. Let us know!

  • Episode 4 - Monkey Mind
    Apr 16 2024

    Hello! Enjoying the voiceover rollercoaster?

    Whether you’re flying high or you feel like you’re still waiting to get on the ride, being a voice actor can be tough. We ALL feel like this at times but we don’t always share it in public, this can lead us to assume we’re the only one who struggles.

    In this week’s episode we share some of our personal challenges, insecurities and how we both struggle (and have struggled) with the dreaded Monkey Mind, including

    - Jen sounding like the queen once in a session

    - and Michael having an anxiety episode recording for Man City FC (Not because he supports Man United either...)

    Hopefully something will resonate with you and we can feel more connected as a community; through good times and bad.

    Hope you enjoy it and if you do please consider supporting us by sharing, liking and/or following our podcast!

    See you next week!

  • Episode 3 - New Beginnings... Ft. Shiraz Engineer
    Apr 9 2024

    Hello! As many newcomers come into the industry and find a plethora of info to help them, we wanted to chat to someone who's on that journey to see how they're finding it, and maybe learn a thing or two ourselves along the way! So In this week’s episode we chat to (relative) newcomer Shiraz Engineer (@oratrixvo) about following your own path, self belief, pink cats and the elation of booking our first gigs....which gives us another Storytime with Michael.

    There's alot of them.

    For anyone who’s new to the industry and want to hear how someone else is finding it too, or if you just fancy hearing a different perspective on starting out, this one’s for you.

    Names dropped in ep3: @garrytrezza @voicereelguy Delphine Koall (LinkedIn) and Dermot Daly https://dermotdaly.co.uk/

    Please consider giving us a like and follow if you enjoy our pod so more people can find it and enjoy it too!
