Forget voiceover, bust your limiting beliefs period, right? Ok, but one thing at a time. Our thoughts become the results in our lives, so it\u2019s important to look at what your thoughts are. Almost as important, if not more so, than your skill. Let\u2019s look at some of the limiting beliefs i have heard from voiceover students, whose very goal is to succeed in voice acting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are celebrities booking all the good jobs.
The voiceover market is over saturated.
I don\u2019t have the time or money to learn VO.
I\u2019m not an actor, so I\u2019ll never be good at voice acting.
My voice isn\u2019t interesting enough.
I\u2019m not sure i can do that, eh, I\u2019ll try.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, imagine if an Olympic athlete talked this way before a race:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The person next to me has the fastest record in the world, I\u2019ll never beat him\/her.
Not helpful right? If you\u2019re making the decision to enter the race, you might as well decide to win it. Otherwise what is the point?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So let\u2019s see how we can simply change the narrative to set us on the right path:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is so much voice work out there now, especially with the internet creating more and more opportunities every day.
Celebrities only account for 5% of the work out there. It\u2019s the workhorses like me that are needed for so much of the talking!
I can Learn to act. I can learn anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ok, that\u2019s it! It\u2019s not a miracle. It\u2019s not magic. It\u2019s just a choice you make to think in a way that gets you the results you want in your career. Is it possible you are thinking in the negative in case it goes wrong and you are preparing yourself for the disappointment? Perhaps though, by already thinking this way, you are manifesting your own failure. Yes you might fail, but UNTIL THEN, believe that you will succeed. And use the language that supports that.
Thoughts become beliefs, which become feelings, which result in actions, and then Results.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will be a successful voice actor. You WILL.
