My areas of knowledge are in voiceover casting, voiceover coaching, and voiceover directing.\u00a0 I\u2019m sorta clueless on the business side of things.\u00a0 I prefer to stay on the right side of the brain, where things are a little mish mashy (see, on the right side of the brain you can even make up words!), never right or wrong.\u00a0 But with all these, the business side of voiceovers is not as much about right or wrong, but what you have time to devote your energies too.\u00a0 Marketing, of course, is an endless pit.\u00a0 You can keep throwing coins into it, but it never seems to get full.\u00a0 Pick your position and do what you can do best to promote yourself.\u00a0 You will never have time for it all: branding, marketing, local markets, national markets, online sites, radio stations, twitter, facebook, blogging, ouch.\u00a0 An organized read on some of the business aspects can be found here in this voiceover article on business<\/a> by Doug Turkel, a voice actor who has done a great job with this side of things.<\/p>\n
