Hey there, hero!

Sometimes, a little thing can be a puzzler, and can be annoying, and when you figure out how to solve it, can be a bit embarrassing.

For years, I didn’t enjoy the notion of shooting a vertical full body shot for my on-camera self-tape auditions…

…until I did. I stopped being so precious about it, and made it easy. And gave casting directors exactly what they want: a look at me, head to toe.

In this episode, I show you how I do it. (And if you usually listen to the audio version of the podcast, you might want to watch this particular one.)

How do you do your full body shots? Is it even easier than how I do it? Willing to share? Let me know how you do it in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

If you don’t know by now, one of my favorite hobbies is to brag on my VOHeroes Pro clients.

(Given how real the struggle is to be a professional performer, and how we constantly have to manage our mindset when we inevitably don’t get the gig, each win is a savory morsel of delight.)

Everytime that happens, I get a little giddy.

I can’t lose. I always win. It makes me happy inside.

And when the joy of success is layered twice over, it’s even better.

Karen Merritt is a Lifetime member of the VOHeroes Pro community. She’s been working on her craft for decades, in a town far outside the typical big production centers, and she’s very calm and cool about enjoying her journey over the long haul.

No short-term disappointment for her…part of her satisfaction comes from the journey itself.

And this past month, Ms. Merritt got not just one, but two validators that she’s the Real Deal.

One came from Toastmasters, and one came from the brand partnership between Bath & Body Works and the folks at Disney.

Have a look or listen to how things rolled out for Karen and how you might steal a page from her playbook.

Would you join me in saying “good on ya” to VOHeroes Pro Lifetime member Karen Merritt, and her awesome wins? Please do so in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

Ever notice how some people look at acting, voice over or writing and think it’s a snap…

…and not that hard to do?

I had an aunt that would make snide comments like “Oh, I could do that. Who would think that’s so difficult?”

She would say that phrase to make others feel small. And, likely, to try and make herself feel better about herself…and her life choices.

In this episode, we’re going to look at just how hard being an artist can be…

…and how the best at their craft make it LOOK easy.

You deserve credit for how hard it really is, and how easy you make it look.

So how do you react when you hear someone, who has no idea what they are talking about. say how easy what you do is? Let me know in the comments below.
