13302: How To Produce Audiobooks For Rights Holders Globally (Not Just Where ACX Operates) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hey there, hero! ACX is a great way to connect with a client to produce their audiobook, but only if both of you are tax paying residents of one of four countries: the US, the UK, Canada or Ireland. If you both live in one of those, you’re golden. If not, you’re stuck. And it’s been an ongoing problem for both narrators and rights holders to contract if either live in places like Australia, any country in the EU, Mexico or other Central American/Caribbean countries, South American countries, ...
13301: Daring To Move From The Dreaming To The Doing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hey there, hero! There’s a lot of dreaming going on in our community. We simply have to be dreamers to decide to be creative artists. And we also have to be doers. And that moment when you decide you can’t ignore your dreams any longer and have to put in the work to achieve them…can stop us dead in our tracks. It’s a big leap to move from the possibility of something nebulous and fancy to something planned and concrete. And…you could fail miserably at the execution. I’m offering a pathway or ...
13300: Only Use These Two Words When Receiving Feedback (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hey there, hero! I’ve noticed that some people have forgotten, or have never learned, the most useful words you can use when you are getting feedback from those who might give you work.

They then launch into an explanation of their choices, or contradicting the lo...
13299: Some People Would Do Anything To Have Your Problems (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hey there, hero! As we work toward a better performance career and face challenges to our progress, even the littlest things can make us feel frustrated. And it’s important to remember that, as challenges go, these speed bumps in our journey need to be kept in perspective. There are people outside the industry who would give up an awful lot to face the problems we face. Keeping that in perspective might make your approach to problems a little less stressful and raise the gratitude level a bit...
13298: PSAs vs Commercials And The Power Of Art (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hey there, hero! Public Service Announcements. PSAs. One of my favorite voice over art forms. They come along all too rarely, and when they do, I cherish them. I had a wonderful opportunity recently to coach a voice talent on a PSA, and we spent some of the time during the session talking about what a powerful opportunity they had to change viewers’ minds about the subject of the PSA (racism). And it was a journey for the client, because they had sold themselves (and the script) a bit short, ...
