Voice Over Sermons With Terry Daniel

It’s VERY important to follow the talent agency or production company protocol on new talent inquires and demo submissions.

The key to effective social media marketing is to mix it up. Just like you would try to come up with different topics to discuss in a normal, everyday conversation, you should do the same exact thing when using your social media pages and profiles.

Here are few ideas on how you can avoid misfiring with a voiceover client.

You should never risk your credibility as a professional.

If you cross the line and take your work too seriously, there is no possible way that you will be able to have fun doing it.

Budget is not a curse word! It’s a term that we should all become comfortable with using frequently.

It's Friday! Call a client and tell them how much you appreciate them.

Just because you might have scored a touchdown with your client the first time around does not mean they are going to automatically pass you the ball the next time around.

You don’t need a super voice to have success in voiceovers

Risk is inherent in progress and growth and is an integral component of doing business.
