I offer a <\/span><\/span><\/span>free voiceover consult<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> on my website for an obvious reason, to gain new potential students.\u00a0 But I also believe that I can spot major problems or potential by hearing someone read one script, and this way I get to immediately encourage them or scare them away.\u00a0 But another reason I offer this consult is that most people are way more comfortable doing nothing.\u00a0 They\u2019re afraid to take risks, whether their emotional, financial, or otherwise.\u00a0 This \u201cfree\u201d consult removes part of the fear factor for them.\u00a0 It\u2019s great to allow a tiny way for people to take one small step on the path to bravery and action and pursuing a passion.\u00a0 It\u2019s as simple as Nike says, \u201cJust do it.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
