Don’t Just Read Voice Over Books

One of the most common mistakes I see voice actors making, particularly new ones, is that they only read books about voice over. Those books are great, don’t get me wrong. But what you’re trying to do in building a business is so much bigger than simply learning how to be a better VO.

Expand your reading horizons to books about marketing, business, entrepreneurship and finance, just to name a few.
