Action plans for a successful VO career in 2016

Imagine you have nothing except your passion, your personality and your business model to create a career you love.

Are you inspired to follow your bliss and dream of becoming a voice actor in 2016?

Couple patience with meditation and ambition and I came up with a few pointers to save you some time setting goals for 2016.

By dividing your days into four quadrants, equilibrium is established and it is much easier to keep the balance between auditioning, marketing and managing a home.

No one can do everything. However, I have found that by doing one thing in each of these groups I can keep my head in the game and have order in my personal life too!

Audition sites:

As a voice actor an interview for a particular job with a demonstration of your suitability and skill is a must. Pick one activity and audition every day!

Finding my Voice

I am lingering joyfully in avid anticipation for the book I’m writing to be picked up by a publisher. In the meantime, I have begun work as a voice actor. 

But sometimes life throws you a curve ball and I found myself separating my soul from my circumstances. I found my voice in a different way as an advocate. 

I learned to be brave and stand tall and speak out and live strong when my mother was diagnosed with a terminal illness.

Sadly, after many months she passed away.

Though this altered my course I found my voice. About life, about love, about prosperity in wishes fulfilled. My Mother shared some astounding gifts with me in anticipation of her imminent death.

"Never give up." She encouraged. "Live out your dreams."

 With moms inspiration and support I created a mantra.

I am a Woman finding her voice as a result of

Age and mindset reaching critical mass

I’ve come full circle into the who of who I am.  I have found my Voice.  

Whispers - March

March

In Springs perfect timing 

the seed planted deep within the recesses of black earth

 is once again re-birthed.

 Before a plant will grow

 the seed must die.

Sometimes there is a waiting period,

 a time to relinquish self 

and draw on the strength of God.

There is no need to feel lost! 

Take care not to rush through life 

but embrace the journey, 

seeing all things through the eyes of your child self. 

Be close to the earth;

 be grounded by the beauty that surrounds you.

Sing, oh child of light!
