Thank you for posting this amazing guide! It does a great job covering a lot of stuff that very few guides actually cover (like networking and the realities of doing this for a living)!

Nevermind this VO stuff sounds too daunting. I quit.

Thank you for putting in the work on this guide, especially the parts on dealing with mental health and voice confidence issues.

This is one of the most helpful things I've ever read! So much I wasn't aware of. Especially the finance side of the business. I'm so glad I've been keeping my imbursement records. Thanks, Kira! What a pal.

Thank you very much for this. A few things I was already aware of and there's a lot I wasn't aware of. I already knew that this is a veeeerrrry difficult business to break into. I'm Still at the outer walls and clawing with all my might! I won't stop 'till I make it, though. (Even then, I choose to believe I'll keep going.) (I'm sorry to say I haven't been nearly as active as I'd like to be (due to real life obligations) but I hope to change that soon. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) )

What a pal. If you aren't already doing so, using an app to track your expenses is a great idea. Whenever you have a business-related expense or investment, take a picture of the receipt, upload it to the app and choose the category it's in (equipment? advertising/marketing? phone/internet bill?) as accountants are going to ask not only how much you spent on your business but how that spending was allocated. The picture records in the app will also serve as proof in case you ever get audited.

Thank you very much, I will come back to this to refer to from time to time. I recently watched an interview you did on a YouTube channel (and also watched a previous one in the past) and you've truly inspired me, and I want to see if my interest is just in the moment, or a long-term goal that I would really love to do.
This website is a wonderful resource.

This was a VERY comprehensive guide to what it takes to break into VO, and spot on in all aspects!! I've been working my way into a VO career for several yrs now, having taken classes and cutting demos 4 yrs ago. Unfortunately I had to take 2 yrs away from pursuing my career due to family responsibilities, but I'm now working with a marketing consultant to get my career off the ground. Building a network of connections, taking VO training class online that I can afford, finding a local commercials acting class and looking into another acting coach in order to cut new demos has been nerve wracking. But I have never been happier pursuing a career than I am in going for my dream of being a Voice Actor. Thanks for this article.

Hello, sorry for the dumb question. I've been spending the last 1/2 hour trying to find the thread on how to submit my recordings for submissions. I.e. your file name should be xyz format, etc. Can somebody link it here, please.
