One of the big reasons why voice actors don't use social media is because of criticism from total strangers. Someone either shares something, or drops a comment, and you immediately second guess everything you're doing on social media, or assume you're doing it all wrong. We're giving too much power to these total strangers. In this episode, I talk about the importance of remembering who your audience is, tailoring your content to that audience, remaining authentically you, and ignoring the haters, who are probably going to hate, no matter what you do! Let this episode serve as a reminder that success isn’t about pleasing everyone, but about building genuine connections with the people who matter. ▶️ WATCH THIS NEXT https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi5EHBmB9CpIegdPVN8QpsULoIpLfkX2u CONNECT WITH MARC SCOTT 🖱️ Marc Scott Website - https://marcscottvoiceover.com 🖱️ Marc Scott on Instagram - https://instagram.com/marcscott 🖱️ Marc Scott on Facebook - https://facebook.com/marcscottvoiceover 🖱️ Marc Scott on YouTube - https://youtube.com/@MarcScottVO 🖱️ Marc Scott on LinkedIn - https://linkedin.com/in/marcscottvoiceover RESOURCES FOR VOICE ACTORS * Voice Over Marketing Playbook ➡️ Visit https://voiceovermarketingplaybook.com * The VOpreneur Guide to Testimonials ➡️ Visit https://vopreneur.com/testimonials * Get an instant $25 credit when you sign up for VoiceZam ➡️ Visit https://voicezam.com/marcscott * For voice over services: ➡️ Visit https://marcscottvoiceover.com * Want VOpreneur Swag? ➡️ Visit https://teespring.com/stores/vopreneur * Join the VOpreneur Facebook Group ➡️ Visit https://facebook.com/groups/vopreneur If you need guidance with your voice over business or learning how to more effectively market, I can help.

✅ Odds are, if you're working as a voice actor, you've got at least one dream you're working towards in the industry. Maybe it's landing a specific client. Booking a certain type of job. Or finding success in a particular genre of the industry. For Sarah Kramer, the goal has been the same for years. She wanted to work in animation and more specifically, she wanted to work on a Star Wars project. That dream became a reality when she landed a role on Star Wars; Young Jedi Adventures. In this episode, Sarah shares her story of how she made it possible, despite many odds being stacked against her.  Persistence, Patience, Perseverance, and maybe channeling the power of The Force. 😉 ▶️ WATCH THIS NEXT https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi5EHBmB9CpIegdPVN8QpsULoIpLfkX2u CONNECT WITH SARAH KRAMER 🖱️ Sarah Kramer Website - https://sarahkramervoiceovers.com 🖱️ Sarah Kramer on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sarahkrameractor 🖱️ Sarah Kramer on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SarahKramerVoiceOvers 🖱️ Sarah Kramer on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahkrameractor 📺 Young Jedi Adventures - Watch on DIsneyPlus 🖱️ Marc Scott on Instagram - https://instagram.com/marcscott RESOURCES FOR VOICE ACTORS * Voice Over Marketing Playbook ➡️ Visit https://voiceovermarketingplaybook.com * The VOpreneur Guide to Testimonials ➡️ Visit https://vopreneur.com/testimonials * Get an instant $25 credit when you sign up for VoiceZam ➡️ Visit https://voicezam.com/marcscott * For voice over services: ➡️ Visit https://marcscottvoiceover.com * Want VOpreneur Swag? ➡️ Visit https://teespring.com/stores/vopreneur * Join the VOpreneur Facebook Group ➡️ Visit https://facebook.com/groups/vopreneur EVERYDAY VOPRENEURS IN THIS EPISODE * Thanks to "Uncle Roy" for production assistance!
