Taming and Managing the Creative Mind (and Soul)

All of us working or aspiring to work in voiceover, come from immensely diverse backgrounds. Some come from the performing arts, while others come from backgrounds of business/corporate, trades or education etc. Regardless of where you have come from, a core piece of this profession is a creative spirit and mind. Before I started in voiceover, my study and career was in classical music, where my approach was that it was “all about the music”, money didn’t matter, and I thought as long as I would be good enough then eventually success would just appear before me. It was only when I started working in voiceover and received some business coaching and mentorship that I realized I needed to tame this creative soul with some more deliberate and accountable systems to grow my career. Fast-forward, and at one point the Businessperson became dominant and it was time to tap back into my Artist. In this session we’ll explore the delicate and sometimes intangible balance between the two.

  1. Firstly, that you are not alone! How to tap into the RIGHT community for you. Looking outside of the Facebook voiceover groups, social media in general and finding your own personal partners in accountability.
  2. Tools, methods, software, systems, books and other resources that provide needed structure and strategy to let your creative self THRIVE.
  3. Things that we can do as somewhat rigid business owners stuck in our ways to tap back into that Artist that got into this career in the first place
  4. How making the investment in an assistant/team can be a valuable step for productivity/accountability
